The New Plan

Today Travis and I met with my new RE here in Texas.

He had great online reviews and had won several "favorite doctor" awards, 

so I was hoping he would live up to the hype.

I can see why everyone loves him.

He is wonderful. 

He took his time and explained things, answered any questions we had, listened to

what I had to say, and never made me feel rushed to get to the next patient. 

We discussed everything and created our new plan.

I had an idea going in to this appointment what treatment I wanted to try next. 

He listened and gave me his opinion. 

He did say that if I wasn't pregnant in the next 2 cycles 

he wanted to check to see if I had endometriosis.

But since that requires surgery and being completely knocked out, he wanted to 

wait to do that until I had at least 4 unsuccessful attempts at getting pregnant.

So, as soon as my next cycle starts I will start Femara. 

No Clomid this cycle, although Femara is a similar drug. 

In addition to Femara I will be giving myself Gonal F injections every other day.

At CD9 I will have an ultrasound to see how my follies are growing, and adjust the injections as needed.

He also agreed that I needed help with my progesterone.
So I will be adding that to the mix this cycle as well after my IUI procedure.

Overall, I'm really happy with our new plan.

Today I have hope!

Tomorrow could be another story, but for today I'm hopeful for this cycle.

Now I just continue to wait....and wait...and wait for my next cycle to begin.
