So I took a bit of a break from blogging since ttc went down the tubes this cycle. I really haven't been doing anything since being sick. I ended up with an infection that took FOREVER to go away. I didn't get to record my mucus this cycle because honestly (TMI) I was lucky to make it to the bathroom and back to bed asap. I recall seeing great mucus but I didn't take the time to record the C.reighton way at all. I have to confess I just guessed when to take the HCG injections. I started on CD17 and just did every other day. Does it make a difference if you miss a day and then do it back to back is that o.k.?
For example: CD 17, 19, 22,23. Is this o.k. ? I went ahead and did the shots just to help out next cycle. But I really don't know when Peak day was. I just figured "OH WELL, WHO CARES!" Since I missed ttc .
So, my T3 med.s have been reduced to 7.5 2x day instead of 22.5 with Synthroid. I started to have a racing heartbeat and insomnia with both the med.s but the nurses said it might have been because T3 is time release and I was only taking it once a day with Synthroid. I was so frustrated with everything that I went off all Thyroid med.s completely for a few days before starting the Slow release T3 again. Now I feel so much better. I am waiting for my new cycle before taking everything again.
I don't think I am going to do a cycle review this cycle. Nothing went right this cycle, I didn't even do the Peak + 7 blood draw, so I think it would be best if I just stuck to Clomid, HCG injections, and the other vitamins rather than having another cycle wasted trying to get the cortisol treatments going. What would you do? The only good thing that came of all this is that I have been off coffee for 2 1/2 weeks. WOO-HOO. No more coffee for me :)
I know July is going to be very stressful for us since June is ending that way. We really didn't count on the fact that I would be out of work for a total of three 1/2 weeks these months which really hit us hard. So I am SOOOOOOO disappointed because our 5th anniversary is this Friday the 26th. Why do bad things have to happen when I am already sad about our anniversary. I know I should be more positive but I am just SAD about IF and no children and F***ing financial
stress. I hate to be so blunt about it all but seriously it is so hard right now to see my girlfriends celebrating there anniversaries with 3 or more children. Deep down inside I know that this cross is a blessing but I just can't help being so BITTER! I think I probably have PMS right now to boot so that is probably why I hate IF so much! I should be getting AF the day of my anniversary so that is going to be emotional for me. Why does my period have to arrive on every special occasion? Why God?
Thank you girls for all your prayers! You really are so sweet!
Now this makes me nervous now about starting the regular t3 with synthroid! I am prone to a rapid heart beat already! I am so glad to go off of the slow-release though. I swear I never had thyroid problems until PPVI put me in that study!
ReplyDeleteSorry about having to celebrate another anniversary like this. I know EXACTLY how you feel. It should just be a happy day, but for most of us, it is literally the anniversary of ttc too, so how could we not be sad?
We should get together sometimes soon now that you're feeling better!
Well honey you aren't the only one feeling barren! WTF!? I am so tired of it too!
ReplyDeleteIt's 2:50 here and I am making myself a margarita! Yup, I.give.a.shat! :)
We are on the same protocol you are about a week ahead of me though. Though I am not on the thyroid stuff, but swear I should be! ;) hahahaha
Ugg! I would invite you over if you were closer! :)
You could still call the Institute and ask about the protocol. Do you have to had done the blood draws to get the corisol tx? I hate it when the thyroid is trying to figure out what to do, it can throw out the craziest symptoms. Try to keep track of them and see what comes of it. Keep the faith!

ReplyDeleteGirls, YOU'RE THE BEST! Thanks for the prayers. I got the two days off of work with just a few jabbing words said to me. I really don't care though...I never have been one to ask for days off so I don't think this should be a big deal!!!
ReplyDeleteAYWH, Lets get together soon. I am free all week until 11:30am.
Sew, I wish I lived by you too but then I would probably be stalking you so I could have someone to have a drink and a smoke with, haha!
Also, thanks LM for pointing out the positives of my anniversary...I needed to hear that :)
FJIEJ, No I don't need to have the blood wor done to start the cortisol treatments since they already said I need them. I guess because the nurses said I can't mix clomid and hydrocort then I thought I would just give clomid one more cycle :)

ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so sorry things are so hard! How did I not see your post until now!? I'm praying for you. I can't know exactly what you're going through but I CAN understand the pain of waiting for something you so desire... a holy desire too!
ReplyDeleteYou hang in there as best you can. God will give you all the grace you need for each moment. Sometimes we have to live that way, moment to moment, just to stay sane. Prayers!
