Round Two

Trip to the doctor yesterday didn't tell me much more than I already knew, namely, that I had started my period. Dr. K said he really had no idea, sometimes in trying to get our bodies to do things, it just does things we don't understand. He said the cyst definitely could have thrown things off. Good news alert....my ovaries look "pristine" (his word, not mine). Don't even look Polycystic! Yay Metformin! So we are starting clomid again today, 100 mg day 3 through 7. And adding Follistim 50 mg, on day 5 and 6. On day 7, i will go in for an ultrasound and they will determine if i need to continue on the Follistim or if the two doses was enough. There is a part of me that thinks this is an overkill, the last cycle was a fluke and this time the clomid alone would probably be good, but then there's a bigger part of me that just wants to get pregnant and wants to throw the kitchen sink at it. I have barely googled the Follistim, but I clearly saw, chance of higher order multiples. Eeek. It's funny, before starting this whole TTC journey, I was mortified at the thought of having twins. My life would be over, I thought, I'd have to quit my job and be forced to stay at home. However, two years later, I would welcome twins. As hard as this has been for us, a two for one deal would be perfect. Who knows if we'll ever be able to make it through this again. So, if the Follistim is what Dr. K recommends, then the Follistim it is! Sure, the thought of triplets or more still scares me, but I figure with my track record, the odds for one are low, the odds for three are probably zero! Oh yeah, the Follistim is an injectible medicine and sweet husband will be out of town for the first injection. I may have to recruit a friend to come over and stick me! Stay tuned.....
