Cycle 18

It has now been a year and a half of trying. Last cycle didn't work but that isn't surprising. Today I had my day 3 monitoring ultrasound to see if I can go ahead with the hybrid therapy and insemination this cycle. Everything looked good which apparently means that the cyst I had last cycle is gone. Yea! This time I will be using Femara and half the Gonal-F strength as two cycles ago to prevent overstimulation. Please wish me luck!

National Infertility Awareness Week

This week is National Infertility Awareness Week. Stop by the RESOLVE website and you can send a letter to your House representatives to encourage them to support The Family Building Act of 2007 (HR 2892), introduced by Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) which would require insurance coverage of infertility treatments (including IVF) by all health plans that also cover obstetrical benefits. You can also send a message to your senator to support The Adoption Tax Relief Guarantee Act, introduced by Senator Jim Bunning (R-KY) and Joe Wilson (R-SC) which would make permanent the tax credit available for families who adopt. There are also other resources and information. Please follow the link below:
