Nothing to report, literally

We flew to Vegas yesterday afternoon, just over 24 hours after I returned from a wonderful, relaxing week in Mexico.

We are flying home tonight.

It's not quite that bad. I'm flying back to Vegas on Friday night for a Saturday morning appointment, but at today's CD9 ultrasound, I had basically no follicular activity. After SIX days of 750iu of Gonal F and a day at 525iu. Which is about $4800 of Gonal F, incidentally.

Fucking depressing.

I've never not responded at all, with my other protocols. Dr. Sh.er says this protocol can take longer, and that the first days of Gonal F are waking up the follicles, but it's hard to believe.

So I'm going to fly back here solo on Friday night, and my husband will join me on Saturday if things have started growing.

This makes an already expensive venture even more expensive. Extra flights, four days of a completely unused hotel rooms... Ugh.

I'm trying to stay optimistic - given the amount of meds going into my body, SOMETHING should happen by Saturday... Right...?

Ps it turns out that while 450iu of Gonal F may not prompt side effects, 750iu does affect my emotions. Joy.

    Dear lord... I am so incredibly sorry. This is beyond frustrating and unfair on so many levels. I'm not a religious person but I'm definitely going to be thinking about you and saying a prayer that your next appointment will bring happier, more encouraging news. Sending you my very best.

    Oh, babe, I'm so sorry. I too have had the experience of more drugs = less impressive outcome before. Beyond frustrating. I so hope that a few more days wakes things up down there. xoxo

    Ug, I am so sorry that there wasn't more of a response. I hope that something shows up on Saturday. Traveling to an out of town clinic is so stressful...add all that $$ and hotels and crap AND all the drug hormones and it is a nightmare. I'm hoping for the best for you.
