Home Sweet Home

Well? What do you think?

I personally love it. There are still a few kinks I am trying to work out. Like adding and editing the tabs above. If anyone has any tips for how to do that I would be FOREVER grateful. I looked up this question in the forums, and tried to contact the creator of this template but she hasn't responded yet... Sorry I know this is boring if you've never had to deal with it. So on to the matters at hand...

I'm on my third day of Letrozole, so far not a single side effect to report. I am a little concerned that prolonged use may create cysts and what not. It's actually a little scary for me to be on these meds. I was really hoping that I could get by with natural cycles, but my impatience took over and here I am. I was hoping to create a tab for a break down on my current cycle, but like I said, I'm still trying to figure that out. So here it is:

  • I am currently on CD 5, horray AF is almost gone.
  • I will be taking Letrozole until CD7 which is Thursday, October 1st.
  • On Saturday, October 3rd I will start doing OPK's to make sure I don't ovulate before my ultrasound.
  • Tuesday, October 6th I will go in for an ultrasound to monitor the growth of my follicles, hopefully I will have at least two, and no more than three. At that time they will determine when I will need to trigger ovulation. I'll be using Ovidrel for that.
  • Then I will go in for my IUI about 36 hours after that. I'm guess October 8th or 9th.
  • And after that I will start up on my progesterone, Prometrium suppositories, and count down until my BFP. We won't be doing a beta. I just need to call them WHEN I get a positive test.

God I hope my optimism doesn't come back to bite me in the ass.

Thanks for coming to my new home!

I think it's an excellent idea to stay somewhat annonymas (sp?). You are a very smart woman to think ahead for your children's sake. They will be very lucky to have you!

oh, and the site looks great.

Glad the Letrozole is playing nice. =)

Let's DO this, cycle #4!

Stopping by to say hi in your new digs. Very nice!

Good luck with the Letrozole cycle. I feel you, I know how hard it can be to start medications.

See you Sunday!
