Courtney's Diary EntriesDiary Navigation: |
September 10, 2001
Alright I need your help. We are faced with a situation and are not sure how to proceed. Here is what is going on. August 19 af started. Sept 2 she showed up again. Now by counting you can see there was only a 14 day difference between the two dates. I started Femara (a new fertility drug) on Sept 4. By Sept 7 I had terrible O pains and then a gush of blood. The pains went away and I have had post O temps. I was in such pain Sept 5-7 we did not bd. If that was O then we missed it. I called the RE but have not heard anything back. I do go in on Wed for what would have been my monitoring appointment. I have a feeling this cycle is shot.
We are faced with two options:
1) Go on and do another cycle with Femara and hope that is does not go as this cycle has
2) Take a three month break with depo lupron & add back estrogen to control endo. We believe that my endo has returned full force and is behind all the back pain I have been having lately.
What I would like to know is if any of you have taken depo lupron and if it has hindered your ttc after you finished taking it. Did any of you get pg after coming off it. What is your opinion as to what we should do. I want to be well educated before my appointment on Wed so I am off to the library to find endo & infertility books.
I appreciate your help in advance.
Courtney
