reemergence
I have emerged from the depths of "woe is me" and am currently basking in the hope of an upcoming cycle.
For Easter, I got my period. And I was completely fine with it.
I have not had a normal cycle (28 or 29 days) since the miscarriage. Until now. Even though last cycle was only 27 days, I'll take it. Closer to normal.
I went in this morning for my CD3 blood draw and ultrasound. Once the ultrasound party got started, I instantly knew this cycle would be better than last.
No cysts! First time post-miscarriage. I'll take that as a good sign.
My hormone levels are "great":

My hormone levels are "great":
- FSH - 5
- E2 - 56
- LH - 3.3

So, it's looking like my next FET will be the last week of April.
And I'm excited. Once again.
It's amazing how quickly I can bounce back after heartache when I have something to look forward to.

Something else I'm looking forward to:
One of those is my new puppy! They were born this past Friday. Three big, healthy puppies. I'm in love and I've only seen their cute little butts!
The litter consists of two girls and one boy. One of the girls is already promised. Additionally, the breeder will be keeping one of the pups for a show dog. She will make that decision when they get to be 7 or 8 weeks. So, until then, we won't know if we are getting a boy or a girl. I'm happy either way, honestly!
I will keep you updated with photos as I get them.
What beautiful puppies! So happy that all of your levels are where they should be and you can move on to your next cycle, congrats!
ReplyDeletePuppies AND great hormone levels! Yeah!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your FET progress, and your new puppy! They are adorable!
ReplyDeleteThe word "great" from the RE's office is always a good sign! I'll be sending you lots of positive vibes for this FET. And those puppies are just the cutest!! Have so much fun once you bring yours home!
ReplyDeleteI'm really excited for you! AND OMGOODNESS those puppies are adorable. Lots of good things coming up for you!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad your levels came back good! Its nice when things actually work out! Also I'm allready in LOVE with Kelsey's new sibling... I want to take one home...
ReplyDeleteAwww sweet puppies!!! Can't wait to see this story unfold!!! Also yay for awesome hormone levels!!!
ReplyDeleteOmgosh! We're getting our first retriever soon - pups are 10 days old at the moment, and we're waiting until they're 8 weeks home to bring home a little boy. Squee to your new addition!
ReplyDeleteWow! Those puppies are going to be beautiful doggies. This post is so upbeat, I am exactly the same and can bounce back happy as soon as there is something awesome to look forward to again. Always moving toward something is a good thing so you don't dwell on the past. Very exciting times ahead :-)
ReplyDeleteSo happy you got your period and so excited for another FET! I know what you mean about it's easy to move forward when you have something to look forward to. I really think this one is it! Can't waitt!!
ReplyDeleteSquish
I am very happy with all this good news! And you will only be a little behind me in your FET! Congrats on your new found good forture my dear.
ReplyDeleteThose puppies' little butts are cute!
ReplyDeleteJust reading your post today reminded me of how quickly we do bounce back from failure and turn our focus to bigger and better things. I had forgotten about that part of infertility. Thank you for the reminder! I needed that as we gear up for a cycle this summer.
Best of luck with the next FET. They sure move you from one to the next quickly. That's great! My clinic makes us cycle in between, which drives me crazy.
Good luck with the FET!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I tagged you in my post. Hope you will check it out and answer my questions. :)
Yay for good news! May this next FET bring nothing but good news and joy!
ReplyDeleteAnd I LOVE the photo of the puppies! Little darlings.
Congrats on the birth of your new furbaby! Glad your cycle is going great!
ReplyDeleteI read "three healthy puppies" and thought, "but aren't there four?" Took me a second glance to figure out that what I thought was a pup was actually the mama's leg.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to have something to look forward to, and I'm glad you do.
Glad to see you're in good spirits. Fingers crossed for you on your next FET. Those pups are just adorable! I swear I'd own like 10 dogs if I could. But in reality we can only have the two we have.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear how upbeat you are. Thats the best way to go into a cycle. And whats better than a new puppy?!
ReplyDeleteWonderful news about the puppy! And I love your attitude - way to go!!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that it's a go for this cycle! WOOOOOOOOO!
ReplyDeleteAnd YAY for the cute little puppy :D
Awwwwwe, puppies!!! Adorable :) And great baseline numbers!
ReplyDeleteHey, we'll be transfer buddies! My ER is the last week of April, ET end of April/beginning of May. I hope this time around is 'the one' for both of us!
ReplyDeleteThose are some cute puppy butts! Do you ever watch the show Too Cute! on Animal Planet? It's ridiculously cute and addicting. It's great mindless TV that will make you smile. It has to be good stress relief.
I am dying, those are the sweetest looking puppies ever!!!!
ReplyDeleteI really think this next one is your cycle. I'm glad you are feeling hopeful again!!!
You are amazing at bouncing back friend... simply amazing! And oh those puppies!! Love!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE PUPPIES!!! Looking forward to your FET! Hope the time flies by for you
ReplyDeleteYour puppy's butt is gorgeous! Kitt and I have just started seriously researching where our own pup will come from. I am so excited.
