back on the ttc track. i had my appointment with my RE last week and it really didn't clarify as much as i wished. the best that i can do right now is try to monitor my diet, take my meds, and hope it helps with my hormone levels enough so that my follicles are producing viable eggs. i really thing that's the issue .... my eggs. i think my whacked out hormones make the follicles produce less than optimal eggs, and then nothing can happen. so no conception with iui. so here i am, week 2 of low carb, no sweets/refined sugars, reduced gluten, and am definitely going through a psychological withdrawl. dreaming of challah bread, waffles, etc. i hope it gets better. the dream of a little baby in my arm outweighs my desire for such things! still, it would be nice to have a piece of cake ;)
started my follistim on monday and started acupuncture for fertility last saturday. so far so good. i love the acupuncture. it is relaxing and i feel like i am finally doing something for my well-being and health. it's nice. i am doing 2x a week while on injections and then i am sure an extra session when we get to do the iui.
i am really struggling right now with the decision to go to ivf right after this cycle if it doesn't work, or to try another iui cycle. and it's the money. sigh.
Oh I hear you on wanting that cake :P lol
ReplyDeleteGood luck this cycle!! Hopefully you'll get your BFP and won't even have to worry about IVF :)
