About Me

- Nashville, TN, United States
- I am a mom to amazing twin girls, a wife, and I work full time. I battled infertility for 2 years and over the course of treatments, a twin pregnancy, and raising twins I managed to gain about 80 lbs. I’ve lost about 50 lbs so far and would like to lose another 50 in my quest to become a hot mama.

Slight fall back
Quick update. After decreasing my Follistim from 100 to 75IU, my E2 dropped from 366 to 319. I didn't even know that was possible. Still no measurable follies. Several "under 10." They bumped me back up to 100 and I'll go back on Friday for another E2/U/S. Hopefully I'll have some development by then.

Fingers crossed for you!!!
ReplyDeleteThat happened to me in my last cycle -- it didn't go down, but it only went up by like 4 points or something crazy after days of injections. They upped the dose and by the end it was all okay. I hope the same goes for you, too!
ReplyDeleteI hope your levels are good again on Friday! Praying for a successful cycle!!
ReplyDeleteI would get so hung up on my E2 numbers, but my RE would say minor differences like 366 to 319 are essential the same, rather than dropping. That's still hard for me to swallow, but that was her take on it...not that standing still is anything to celebrate either, of course. GL!
ReplyDeleteKeep the faith!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThinking lots of follie growing thoughts for you girl! Good luck with the next monitoring appt!
ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteMy name is Elisabeth, and I am an infertility / repeated pregnancy loss "veteran". You can read a little bit about me and my experiences in my blog: drhousewife.blogspot.com . I am completing a PhD in Counseling Psychology, and my dissertation is focused upon the impact of infertility on marriage. I believe strongly that there is a need for better support services for men and women who are undergoing IF diagnosis and treatment, and my hope is that this study will aid in the development of such services.
I am contacting you after stumbling across your blog. I am recruiting participants for my study, and wanted to invite you and your husband to take part. All that would be involved would be the completion of an online survey, that would take approximately 20 minutes. All couples who complete the surveys will receive a voucher good for a pair of free movie tickets at a Regal Cinemas.
Please let me know if you are interested by emailing me at UTInfertilityResearch@gmail.com . I have included the criteria for participation below.
Feel free to pass information along to anyone you know who might be interested in contributing to this study.
Best of luck to you!
