IVF #5 – Pregnant<\/a><\/p>\n FET #2<\/a><\/p>\n FET #1 – Ectopic<\/a><\/p>\n IVF #4<\/a><\/p>\n IVF #3<\/a><\/p>\n Nov 20, 2008 – Referral from PCP went through, and pre-authorization for IVF was submitted by the clinic.<\/p>\n Nov 19, 2008 – The referral from my PCP to the RE did NOT get filed.<\/a> Pissed off and freaking out.<\/p>\n Nov 18, 2008 – My new insurance – with IVF coverage – is active.<\/p>\n Nov 7, 2008 – [RE] Sonohysterogram<\/a>. Required for insurance pre-approval. All looked normal, green for go. Lots of follicles.<\/p>\n Sept 15, 2008 – [RE] Follow-up appointment<\/a>. The tests showed absolutely nothing, everything is normal – all our chromosomes, blood clotting, everything. I brought some research, the doctor liked it: we now have a plan. Did CD3 bloods to prepare for IVF#3 in December.<\/p>\n Aug 1, 2008 – [RE] RE Consult<\/a>. 140 lbs, 108\/68. New RE from last year, same clinic. Looking for answers. Found “rare” diagnosis: immature eggs. No suggestions forthcoming. Got blood drawn for testing for chromosome abnormalities (both Den and me) and blood clotting disorders (just me).<\/p>\n ::<\/p>\n IVF #2 – Pregnant<\/a><\/p>\n IVF #1<\/a><\/p>\n May 31, 2007 – [GP] Prescription refill<\/a>. Did you know you have to actually make an appointment with your doctor every 6 months in order to get another prescription for the same anti-depressant you’ve been taking for 5 years? I didn’t. What a pain in the ass.<\/p>\n May 18, 2007 – [MDWF] Annual exam<\/a>. 141 lbs, bp 124\/70. Same as usual, everything looks good.<\/p>\n Mar 28, 2007 – [RE] Post-op consult<\/a>. Basically just to say, “Yep, you’re all better now!” Also did quick ultrasound.<\/p>\n Mar 22, 2007 – [IVF1] Protocol Class<\/a>. Learned how to mix and give injections, and went over how my protocol is going to go. Also found out when we’re going to start!<\/p>\n Mar 13, 2007 – [RE1] Laparoscopic surgery<\/a>. Diagnosed with Stage I Endometriosis. Also discovered that both of my tubes are in fact open. Photos of the aftermath<\/a>.<\/p>\n Mar 2, 2007 – [RE1\/IVF] Pre-op consult for my laparoscopy, plus consult on IVF protocol<\/a>. 138.6lbs, bp 110\/68. Got a bunch of my questions answered about IVF, more info, including deciding how many embryos\/blasts to transfer.<\/p>\n Feb 21, 2007 – [IVF1] IVF overview class<\/a>. Required before we start IVF. Mostly info about how IVF works which I already know, but some statistics and other notes I jotted down.<\/p>\n Feb 1, 2007 – [RE1] RE Consult<\/a>. Reevaluate our plans. Found out insurance doesn’t cover what we’d thought, which causes changes.<\/p>\n Jan 3, 2007 – [RE] IUI<\/a>. 97 million total count, 84% motility (81.5 million total motile).<\/p>\n Jan 2, 2007 – [RE] Ultrasound<\/a>, day 12. 3 mature follicles on right ovary (22, 24.5, 25mm), 1 mature follicle on left ovary (23mm). 8mm triple stripe lining. Triggered.<\/p>\n Dec 5, 2006 – [RE] IUI<\/a>. 47 mil total motile sperm.<\/p>\n Dec 4, 2006 – [RE] Ultrasound<\/a>, day 12. Four mature follicles on left side (20-22.5) and none on the right. Triggered.<\/p>\n Nov 30, 2006 – [RE] My HSG<\/a>. Not much a problem until they had to do it a second time. Then it hurt. Left tube is open, right tube is… well, probably open. But they’re not positive. (My right side was being obtuse.)<\/p>\nPre-IVF Prep After Devin<\/h2>\n
