Yet another obstacle

Not only did my estrogen not go down , it went WAY up - to 106. The infertility doctor doesn't know what's wrong with me that I'm so estrogen-challenged. I had 2 options: go on birth control for 3 weeks to lower my level (and lose this cycle) or take injections of Antigon to hopefully lower it. I took 4 injections then got re-tested. It didn't work. Just as well, since I broke out in hives after the 4th injection. So, back to the bcp choice and I lost this cycle. Sigh. Giving myself the injections turns out to be no big deal. I hate needles, but have baby fever worse than the needle phobia.

I will start the Luprolide injections on Dec 21, take the last BCP on the 25th, should finish this cycle around the 28th, then go for the usual ultrasound/bloodwork on the 30th.

Ya know, originally, this blog was supposed to be the place for me to write "my story" mostly about my time with my ex, but it's turned into a "what's happening now in my life". Hmmm.
