It's been an interesting month since my last post. Well six weeks I guess.

First of all, it looks like the Femara did work... just slowly! lol I started my period on Day 39, which means I might have ovulated on the Femara, just on Day 25. I went in to see Dr. Thurston on Day 3 after I started my period, and there was an 18mm cyst on my fallopian tube. Or so he thought. It had never been there before. So when I got my Day 14 ultrasound (actually Day 13 this cycle), it was completely gone. So he thinks it may have been a residual cyst.

During that same ultrasound he only saw small follicles, and didn't think the increased dose was working, but wanted to see me back in 5 days. So I went back on Day 19 for another ultrasound. I had a 14mm follicle. He still was skeptical and gave me a prescription for Femara for my next cycle, along with a prescription for follistim (injectables, ugh!).

Well I've been doing ovulation predictor tests, and yesterday, on Day 22, I got a positive! So I definitely think that the Femara is working, just not quickly. I'll have to discuss this with Dr. Thurston at my next appointment.

On a side note, I call the pharmacy about the follistim... um, it's $92 per injection, and I'd have to have 10 injections! YIKES!! I don't expect insurance to cover any of it, so if we can avoid that extra $1,000, that would be nice! lol

So that's the latest. No baby yet, but plenty of people around me are. Which is good and bad. I'm trying to take it all in stride.
