Chapter SIXTEEN: & so it Begins...

October 30th, 2017

Today, I had my first appointment at the fertility clinic in a year. Tomorrow, Halloween, will be exactly one year since I knew our last treatment failed. Traffic was awful! I left my house at 6:15am and my appointment wasn't until 8am. I still barely made it due to the chaos on the hill. Once I got there the staff was so sweet! They immediately said that they had missed me and mentioned they could tell I had lost weight (that was nice haha) I met with head of fertility, Dr. Levy. I have met him a few times in the past but this was the first time going to his office and having a meeting. My ultrasound went great, I was already creating follicles. He started me on a cocktail that I have never tried. Well, a portion I haven't tried. It's called a "Hybrid Cycle". Day 5 - Day 9, I will take 2 pills per day of Clomid then on day 9 I will start taking shots as well of Gonal-F. He also added prenatal vitamins, Q10, and Vitamin D. I will finish off that cocktail for a week then go back for another ultrasound. Hopefully by then my follies will be mature and ready to go! Then we will decide if we want to have time enter-course or another IUI. I am leaning more toward IUI just so I don't feel like we waisted a round.

Update: At 8pm tonight I took my first dose of Clomid. Here is to praying it doesn't make me sick!
I will start taking all of my vitamins tomorrow.

With Love,
Kellie ❤️
