And the ride continues...

It's been a while.  That seems to be the 1st sentence of every blog I post doesn't it?  :)  Oh well, I knew when I stepped into the blog world that I wasn't going to be Mrs. Bloggy McBloggerson.

Things have changed, and new roads have been placed in front of us since the last blog.  We found a new RE in Louisville, which means no more 1.5 trip up to Cincy.  We love the new Dr. even more than we loved the Dr.'s at Bethesda.  If you are looking for a RE in the Louisville, KY area, I strongly suggest Dr. Johanna Archer at Fertility First.  She and her entire staff are spectacular!

1st visit with Dr. Archer lasted more than 2.5 hours.  There was never 1 second we were alone waiting to be seen.  She checked us out, went over our medical history and we mapped out our plan to get a Baby(ies).  1st order of business...GET OFF CLOMID!  If you've never been on Clomid, let me tell you, it is the devil's drug.  Just ask Eric he will agree with me...cause after taking it, I became the devil.  ;)

New meds are: Letrazole 1/2 dose & progesterone, then moving on to injectables.  I have to take 1/2 dose because I am very drug intolerant and when I take full dose I create way too many follicles and all future procedures have to be cancelled.  So 1st month on 1/2 dose Letrazole, 3 very good looking follicles, lining perfect, & wouldn't you know it...an OVARIAN CYST!  Grrrr!  Sometimes I can't help but look up into the Heavens and say, "REALLY?"

So here we are...watching an ovarian cyst like a hawk making sure it doesn't burst.  It seems as though this horrible ride we are on will never stop.  All we can do is continue to pray & seek God's will for our lives, whether with our children or child free.
