My E2 was 55 today!!!! I can't believe it dropped that much over the weekend!! I got the call to go ahead and start my stims tonight! I could not believe my ears! I carried my cell phone with me all day and of course the call comes when I have no signal to my phone. I heard a funny beep and saw I had a message. I was so angry this morning when I woke up. I was prepared for more bad news. When I got to the office to pick up my lab slip, it wasn't there. They"forgot" to fill it out. That just set the mood for the day. I was so ready with my list of questions and never had to ask them.
I do wonder if a level of 55 is good enough for a successful IVF but the nurse really sounded upbeat. I will get an opportunity to ask some lingering questions at my next u/s. Tonight, we both start the antibiotic. Chris is thrilled. I go back on Thursday morning for b/w to see how I am responding. I will be able to work this weekend and my assistant boss told me she would cover for me when I need time off. I finally feel some peace. I am so grateful to have an opportunity to try an IVF cycle. At least we may get some answers as to why we failed 6 IUI's and answers as to my egg quality. It may open Pandora's box but I'd rather have concrete answers to deal with than the unknown.
On a side note.....for those of you who know our adoption saga....I received a letter today from Brightside looking for a "donation" for their needy children. Didn't we "donate" $3000 last year?? It seems to me we did. Even though they said it was for "services rendered", all the employees we worked with got their paychecks weekly. It wasn't like they needed the money to pay the adoption staff for their services. Needless to say, I won't be donating to them. And it was only addressed to me, not Chris, which made it even more humorous. "Let's pull on the heart strings of the infertile women who were trying desperately to adopt a child and become mothers who sadly never got their wish because we closed the doors since we are a Catholic agency and will not allow gay couples from Massachusetts to adopt." Maybe I do still have a little anger in me. But it felt so good to let that out!
