CD 14 and still no dark second line. I was hoping to do an IUI with trigger shot by now. But my doctor decided otherwise. To him a 16 mm follicle isn't mature enough and with the budget cuts to our clinic they can't have me come in again this week for another monitoring appointment.
I'm hoping that maybe tomorrow I'll get the dark second line. Until then it is baby dance every other day as most of us that are trying to conceive will do.
I have a nice stress rash behind and above both of my ears. The patch of stress rash that is on my abdomen has now returned to flesh tone but is still raised. Mind you I've had a stress rash before. When J decided to enlist in the Army I broke out in a nice rash on various parts of my body. After all it is war time and was so back then, I was afraid of him getting hurt or worse.
However, I can't take the necessary medicine for the problem. No it isn't because my clinic doesn't know, of which they most likely wouldn't care since it is an OTC drug that works but it is because I can't take the steroid cream that I will suffer. Those trying to conceive know quite well that steroid usage while trying is limited to a only upon death bed do you get to use it.
I can't wear my spectacles. I'm wearing my contact lenses. I have a sample pack of the 1 day lenses and I'm not liking them. I'm thinking this weekend I'll put in an order for the two week ones I normally use. I haven't purchased contact lenses in over two years. Just never have a reason to wear them all that much until the rash.
My stress level is up enough that again last night I had the PTSD nightmares.
I hope you get a second line soon and they will let you do the IUI.
ReplyDeleteMy doctor informed me that the IUI wasn't worth it when I saw him on Tuesday. J's sperm is fine and it's because I'm old. I still have a good ovarian reserve according to last year's tests but it is egg quality now.
DeleteSorry to hear that there isn't a second line yet. Hopefully soon.
ReplyDeleteSometimes steriods are prescribed for infertility actually- I took Dexamethasone to reduce my DHEA-S and testosterone levels during treatment before (and took Prednisone for whiplash during a Clomid cycle, which resulted in pregnancy #2). They also have documented the use of glucocortoid steroids in addition to Clomid for treating Clomid resistant patients with both PCOS and unexplained infertility, and the findings were very promising.
Honestly, if the rash gets painful I'd go ahead and take it. I don't think a super high amount would be absorbed into the blood stream at any rate.
I have some hydrocortisone cream here and I'm due to see my PCM on the 13th for a follow up on the low D3 so maybe if it is still a problem I'll remember. I know I need to mention that I've had a sort throat and swollen glands now since late Sept.
DeleteI am so sorry about your dreams :C People say to "just get over it" and that "it was just a dream" my exp has been that those dreams can linger around you all day. COnstricting your heart. :C I am also saddened about the rash and medication :C what a bummer :C
ReplyDeleteStill had more of the same dreams last night.
