September 11, 2012: Cycle Day 11. My "little" brother's birthday. I say "little" because he is about a head taller than me and we are only 19 months apart in age. Supposedly I was going to be my parents' last child, hence the reason I was named the female version of my dad's name. However, God had other plans, and my mom got pregnant for one last time when I was around 10 months old.
September 12, 2012: Cycle Day 12: Saw my therapist today and told her the baby names Brian and I had picked out. She told me she loved them, and that she had good feelings about this cycle.
September 13, 2012: Cycle Day 13. Called Dr. Nichols' office to check on status of funding for our IVF cycle and the status of our fertility medications being filled. The funding is in and things are going smoothly for the medicine. One of the medications is a compound medication, so Cigna specialty pharmacy does not have it. This will be called in to Freedom Drug and will cost around $100. The insurance may or may not cover it, but that's okay because it's not that expensive. Also called New York Cryos to start processing my refund for the two vials of donor sperm we still had stored there. We were able to get back 75% of what we paid plus part of the storage fee back.
September 14, 2012: Cycle Day 14. Faxed the paperwork back to Cryos New York to process our refund for the donor sperm. Talked with Cigna about our medications. Picked up mine and Brian's antibiotics that we are to start on Cycle Day 19. Cigna called while I was at the store to arrange delivery. Because we weren't going to be home on Saturday, they are going to ship out on Monday and be delivered on Tuesday meaning that Brian can't go with me to my baseline ultrasound because someone has to be here to sign for the medicine :-(
September 15, 2012: Cycle Day 15: Birthday party for sweet niece Olivia, who is turning 1. Her mom never thought she would be able to have kids because of having Parkinson's. God surprised her with Olivia, and it's like she has purpose in her life now. You can truly see joy radiating from her. She and her husband just celebrated their 17th anniversary. Got a horrible migraine headache later in the afternoon and had to take Imitrex. I felt really bad and nearly threw up because of the pain, and then I started freaking out about a possible drug reaction between Imitrex and Zoloft called serotonin syndrome. The headache finally calmed down and left me with that fuzzy feeling and my forehead painful to touch.
September 16, 2012: Cycle Day 16: My older sister's birthday. Felt like I had a headache hangover all day, but was able to make it through volunteering at church, the service at church, my sister's birthday get together, and then buying groceries. I am currently exhausted. This was the last day of my birth control pills. No medicine until Wednesday the 19th when I start my antibiotic, a baby aspirin, and Lupron injections. On a side note, doing a pregnancy test tomorrow morning just to make absolutely sure that I am not pregnant before we have $4,000 worth of medicine sent to our house!
