The meeting with the Dr went ok. Well I guess actually better than ok. He seemed very genuine with his apology for the lack of communication for the last cycle. We talked through a plan for this cycle. He upped my femara to two 2.5 pills per day. My progesterone was at 11 - he said that's a little low as he would like to see it in the 15 area but it's not horrible and that upping the femara should help. i go in for my first u/s on 5.23 then depending up where my follie are at go for more or do the trigger and the TIC one we do the trigger shot. Then a progesterone test about a week after the trigger. He also referred us to a Dr about an hour away. Reason being is we are still contemplating the IUI but he won't have any kits until September and IF we do it we don't want to wait that long. Only thing is now we aren't sure if we should go to that Dr or the Dr one of my coworkers goes to - both are in the same town so about the same distance away. I just don't know if which one to choose. Part of me says go with the one Dr E referred us to because he knows him and has aworking relationship with him but then part of me is drawn to the Dr my coworker uses. I just feel she has had to successes with him and both times have been relatively "easy" (if you can anything about IF and IF treatments is easy). But we need to make a decision tonight as I want to get hte ball rolling with the new Dr now so we don 't miss next cycle (IF this cycle doesn't work).
It's been an emotional day...on top of the whole IF Dr visit I found out today that my brother has melanoma. They don't know yet if it has spread but he is about in the middle for seriousness - they said a 2. He has surgery a week from Friday to remove the cancer, biopsy his lymph nodes and take any out that they may need to. I talked to him tonight and he seems to be doing pretty good, attitude wise. He said he knows he can't obsess about all the "what ifs" right now until he has more information and answers as it will just drive him crazy. Please God, let him be ok. Please don't let it have spread into his body. Please continue to give him strength.
