Be advised... Frequent posting ahead...

So we are getting to the end of IVF cycle #1 and so I will have a lot to update since I am going to NRM just about daily now. This morning I had yet another ultrasound and more bloodwork followed by a check in with Dr. Wonderful! The ultrasound still showed LOTS of follicles around 14mm (they need to get to 18) and blood results are pending; I usually get a call in the afternoon. So we meet with Dr. C and he says although this is taking some time, this is looking like a great cycle! MUSIC TO OUR EARS! BUT… (There is always a “but”)... It looking like you are on your way to getting Ovarian Hyper Stimulation Syndrome (OHSS). EEEKKKK! He continues to say that in order to prevent OHSS we aren't going to trigger you with HCG we will use Lupron (ok that’s fine) and instead of putting the embryo right back into your body, we won't be able to do so0 until a month later once the ovaries have calmed down, meaning the embryo’s will be frozen. We were warned of OHSS in our initial consultation but we were like “the percentage of it happening is low, we don't really need to worry about it.” WELL once again our luck curses us. Good thing is that NRM’s freeze rates are high quality and we can prevent OHSS! We have waited this long whats another month! Our health is a priority and I am glad NRM see’s it that way also. SO he mentioned possible extraction THIS WEEKEND!!! Yes I said it, this weekend!!!!! He will confirm as the week goes on. We are thrilled with the progress and hopeful now more than ever!! This is VERY exciting, nerve racking, emotional, ahhh just a bundle of unexplainable emotions!!! Hang on tight, and thanks for being on this ride with us family and friends!!
