we just thought we would go ahead and write about our journey though the fertility treatment process so far. yes we have some pictures but they are from the second round of fertility treatments we did. our first round was back in dec and i didnt even think of taken photos for it. i think the only reason why i thought of it the second round was because some of my friends going thru infertility got to talking about it and that is when i decided to do the photos. i will try not to flood you all with all the photos we took but i will post some. i hope that our journey will show others going thru infertility will see that it is alright to talk about it. that just about everyone now days is having some kind of trouble with getting pregnant.
okay now on to talk about the first round. like i said the first round was in dec. i started my cycle dec 15, 2012 ( if you dont know already that is the first day of a woman's period. yes i know you may not want to hear that if you are a guy lol) i call the doctor like the day before my first day of my cycle and they called in clomid and repronex for me. it took like from friday to monday or tuesday one to get my meds. walmart's kept saying that they didnt recieve anything for me. well the clomid anyways. the repronex had to come from another pharmacy and then it was a pharmacy that doesnt take our insurance but i wasnt going to fight with getting it sent to a different pharmacy at that time because if i had we would have had to wait until the next cycle and we didnt want to do that. so we paid full price for the repronex. which was like about 300 all totaled together. on day four of my cycle i started the clomid i took it from days 4 to 8 of my cycle and then on day 10 mike helped me do the repronex shot. that round had to go in my hip. (yes i think he enjoyed given me that shot lol). i had some side effects from both the clomid and repronex. the hot flashes and headaches. and i had a small upset stomach but i think that was mostly from the hot flashes as when i get too hot i start to get sick. i was also emotional to. then like on day 14 of my cycle which was like dec 28 we went in for a ultrasound on my uterus and ovaries. that ultrasound showed that the lining of my uterus was good and that the pills and shot was helping but it wasnt where they needed to be for me to get the trigger shot. (hcg) if you need to know what that is it is a shot that helps release the egg from the ovaries. so we made plans to do another round on a another cycle but as mike was going to be gone in January we had to wait until February.
that was round one of the fertility treatments.
