Well, after a hard day yesterday and a bit of a rough night, I called the RE this am and asked to talk to her. I went into her office and we sat for about 10 minutes going over everything. What is boils down to is this, I've talked to Will and he is willing to give me two more months of all the trying with the meds. The RE said the "end all be all" of course would be to do IVF. Which, after my insurance, I'd have to pay about $8,500 out of pocket with a 50/50 chance of actually getting pregnant. So, thats not really a good option to me. The RE and I decided to do the gonal-f injections again next month and add Antagon, which is like Lupron. It will basically shut down my bodies natural hormones and make it listen only to the hormones we are giving it. This should prevent any pre-mature ovulation. They usually only use it in IVF but considering how my cycles have been acting, she feels its the way to go.
She said she doesn't know if there was a viable egg released or not this month but to do the progesterone, just in case which I will start tonight. Chances are my period will come about 12 days from now and then we will start again. I don't know what will happen if I don't get pregnant in the next two months. I'm looking into all the adoption issues right now but it doesn't seem financially possible for us. My shrink says just to concentrate on the plan for the next two months and we will deal with the future when it gets here. I think thats good advice.
I feel a bit better today but still not great. I didn't sleep well last night and now, of course, my tummy is in a tizzy. The RE did give me some donnatol so I'm hoping that will calm it down a bit.
Thanks for everyone continued support and kind words.
