New Blog Home and Well Into IVF #8
I hope that I haven't lost many of you. Blogger decided to do away with their FTP support on May 1 and I was too buried at my new job to move my blog. I was at www.kurvy.com/badplumbing and couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get it to a subdomain on my own site (such as badplumbing.kurvy.com).
I gave up. So here I am.
So here is where I'll host for the time being. I've set up a 301 (permanent) redirect to the new location but I fear that anyone with a RSS feed will wind up losing me. It sucks to blog for so long at one location and then be forced to move.
I'll eventually load wordpress or some such blog editing software on my site and I'll be back and running at my own domain. Stay tuned for more fun with DNS and CNAMES.
On the IVF front, I took off two months and went back to Dr. Indian. They were surprised to see me back. Long story short, I lost complete confidence in Dr. Italian who insisted month after month that my lining was always 14mm and god knows how wrong he was about my follicle sizes as well. I'm sure I had so many immmature eggs retrieved because of his lack of skill with the U/S machine. I am pissed for the time, eggs, and money I lost. Especially the time. I am pissed mostly of the time I have lost. I'll talk anyone I can out of going there after my experience.
I'm well into the cycle with Dr. Indian and am triggering tonight in fact. I have 6 follicles on the left, zero on the right (ovary is pretty much toast at this point). Lining is a reasonable 9.5mm, not the 14mm that Dr. Italian found month after month. No surprise there. Retrieval is 10:30AM EST and transfer (god willing) on Wednesday.
If my right ovary was actually working I might have had 10 or 12 out of this cycle. Not bad for an old lady of 45. :-) I have no idea if my FSH came down after the peak it hit after cycle #6 but it apparently wasn't too high for the clinic I am at as they let me proceed.
Anyways, it's good to be back.

post a commentI find you on trigger night. I am glad I got here in time to tell those 6 follicles to PRODUCE!
Linda, I'm so sorry I missed you the other day. We didn't get into the city until late Tuesday. I'm glad to hear things are going better for you with Dr. Indian--six follicles is an awesome response!!
I'm going to retrieval tomorrow morning and then we're headed for home. To make a long story short, things haven't turned out as planned. Will try to post an update when we get back. I haven't had internet access here and the story is way too long to post from my iPhone.
Is your retrieval tomorrow too or is it Sunday? Good luck!! I'll be anxious to hear how it turns out!
6 follies!! That's good by ANY standards. Happy triggering.
Saying no to Dr. Italian sounds like a very wise move. I generally think docs aren't nearly as good as their ultrasound techs. But it sounds like he was EXTRA incompetent with it.
Fingers crossed for your retrieval! C'mon, you Stupendous Six!
Wow, I can't believe you are at retrival! I'm sure you are all done by now, please let us know how things went. Glad you abandoned Dr Italian, have you persued that other doc you mentioned earlier? Hopefully you won't need to! Good luck my dear.
