I know I said I wasn't going to be able to update till tonight, but I got to my appt early, and out early so I decided to come home for a few hours. The awesome news is:
I OVULATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It really happened! She reviewed my journal and thinks too that it was probably around day 13 like I had thought. Urine test was negative, but it is only day 24. She ordered the P4, and a hcg count. We are hoping for higher teens of the P4, and anything with hcg :) She said since I'm on day 24, if the progesterone is under 10, it means that it's dropping, and that I will be having a period within the next week. If it's higher teens, it's a very good possibility of pregnancy. Our timing was "awesome" in the words of the nurse, and everything looked great by u/s. I saw the giant black spot on the left ovary. The uterus looks perfect. They were both very happy with the u/s and the fact things are working first cycle.
The gall bladder issues, we will just wait and see what I found out from my PCP and see how quickly I can get in for surgery. The RE says if I could get in this week, that would be great, because it's so early that if I am pregnant, it won't be a big deal since it's not even detectable yet. But, if it takes them a few weeks to get things in order, then we have to discuss it.
Now, if I did not get pregnant, that is ok too...At least we know that this med works, and I responded great. They said at that point, we will not do round 2, and they want the gall bladder taken out asap. After I get the clear from the surgeon afterwards, I will go in for another progesterone draw and pregnancy test, and pending negative test and no sign of ovulation, they will do an u/s to determine if we need a withdraw bleed or if we can just start meds and make it day 3 cycle wise.
I don't want to seem greedy or anything but I really want for this still to be a total success this month. I know our chances even with great timing isn't real high, but I just want it now. I'm not a patient person when it comes to things like this. It's been 4.5 yrs of trying and no evidence of ovulation that whole time. I just want it to be everything right now! Even though I'll be terrified of surgery if I am pregnant, I have faith that it will all be ok.
So...I'm officially obsessing. I'm insane. Really. I'm not spotting yet, and I always spot about a week before I start, so that's a plus. But we will see what the blood results are today. I should have the call by 3, and then my appt with the PCP is at 3:40. I'm going to beg and plead for this surgery to get done asap so it's behind us. If it could get done this week, I may not have to take a break at all from the study. Provided I don't start a period till next week.
Anyway, I'm extremely happy now, and just had to update now. I've got lots to get done before heading out again, so I better get off here and do it.
WoW WoW~~~~ YEAH Michelle~~~~
ReplyDeletecan't wait to hear more good news!
Hope you are feeling okay!
Alright!
ReplyDeleteWow, you get a BETA this early in the study? Would it be nice to get an early number back?
I hope they get to your surgery ASAP, I'm sure it will be the best for everyone.
Michelle, this sounds so promising right now! I bet you are just jumping all over the place (um, at least as much jumping that you can do without too much pain!)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear numbers!
Good luck!
