Shoot 'em up

Well I had yet another appointment in Fukuoka today, to hopefully see more follicles. Yeah...that didn't happen. I had one that might have been 8mm, but nothing that is growing like it should have been. So I'm on my second round of Femara this cycle and also I had an injection to stimulate the follicle growth. I actually learned how to inject myself though, so I did that on myself today with the nurse (she was impressed with how well I did! haha). Monday I have to do another injection at home on my own. I'm really surprised these injections only costs me about 2,000yen (about $25) a piece, when in the states the same injection costs over $200! It's kind of frustrating that they didn't listen to me in the beginning when I told them I really need something else to boost the follicle growth hormone. Oh well, hopefully when I go back on Thursday there will be really good progress (and more than 1!).

I got my blood results back however, my glucose and insulin levels are normal, so they actually want me to stay off of Metformin. Which is weird because ever other doctor wants me on it for my PCOS. Who knows though, I'm just praying with everything I am that this cycle works and we finally get to start our family.

If this cycle doesn't work, then it's just a whole lot of saving for IVF! I really hope we don't have to go that far, I just hope and pray we are blessed with our baby without needing to go almost to the last option.
