Quarantine

So sperm donors donate and then their donations go into quarantine.  Not sure why or for how long, but that's how it works.  So last month thinking I was a go for the cycle, I purchased one vial a few days before ovulation.  Then the fibroid became an issue and that cycle was halted.  So, what do I do with the vial.  Part of the below mentioned Clomid effects showed up here.  I would have to store the vial, what would that cost!?!?  Turns out, not too bad considering what this whole process has been costing me.  $140 for 3 months.  Perfect.  Then I noticed that my donor was running low on stock.  So glad I jumped the gun and purchased the one vial.  I was told a new batch was being released from quarantine at the end of the month (May) or very early June.  Now I was just told that its not till end of July.  AGAIN thank goodness I jumped the gun.  At least I have the one vial, and he still has 8 left, but I don't want to buy more than I need just yet.  But if he drops down to less than 4 before my next cycle than I will have to splurge.


so much for the 2WW...how about the 2MW

what is the 2MW you ask.  Two Month Wait!  Yes after moving full speed ahead for 5 months, I had to screech to a halt these last two months.  So the M/C happened and with that came the HSG scan, which as expected showed that my tubes were open...woohoo, but that the fibroid we noticed in the earlier Ultrasounds could indeed be a problem with implantation and keeping a pregnancy.   Boo.  Hiss.

So...after taking 5 days of Clomid, days 5-9, then finding out the Fibroid had to be removed was not the greatest news.  The Clomid effects weren't horrible, until I got bad news, then I couldn't control the tears.  Every time I thought about the delay the tears would come.  I could not stop them, it was crazy, I would feel fine and the tears would just pour.  Anyway, my RE sent me back to my OB/GYN who is a fantastic surgeon and specializes in this kind of stuff and he was able to schedule my procedure, Myosure, 3 weeks later.  Yesterday to be exact.   Outpatient surgery, 2.5 hours at center and then my dad picked me up and brought me back to my parent's place.  Easy recovery, nothing too bad.  I was warned about cramps, but didn't feel much until this morning, because I was moving around so much more.  But overall, a really easy surgery and experience.  There were 2 fibroids not just one.   BUT the best news of all is that I got to TTC again next month.  No delay other than the cycle I'm in to recover.  So July is the restart to the process.
