I don't know whether to laugh or cry! I stopped using the Nystatin cream and the very next day the irritation returned so back to the Gynecologist's office I went. She took a quick peek. No swab, no checking for infection, no urine analysis, nothing. Just a peek. And her conclusion? Nothing is wrong. My privates are just irritated. To go home and put cornstarch down there 3 times a day. Yes, cornstarch. Oh my.
IVF Cycle # 3 is a go. I've started the birth control pill, starting stims next month, and the extraction/transfer will be around Halloween. RE and Hematologist had a chat and Hematologist is adamantly insisting on the platelet transfusion. RE is presenting my case to the IVF committee tomorrow and he'll ask the other team doctors their thoughts on the platelet transfusion and he'll go with what the consensus is. Whether to do it just at extraction or also on the transfer day. But it is indeed looking like I'll be doing a transfusion at least once so RE's nurse is having me schedule an Anesthesia Consult preemptively next week. Still hoping for a miracle to avoid the transfusion...

September 5, 2013
So I went back to the Gynecologist today. Irritation had cleared after 2 days on antibiotics but returned on day 5. Swab showed the BV gone but yeast was having a party. Doctor prescribed Nystatin-Triamcinolone Ointment three times a day for 10 days. Thanks antibiotics!
IVF # 3 is set in motion. I met with RE a few weeks ago and we're a go. To my surprise, he thought the platelet transfusion was borderline hocus pocus. He's still hashing it out with the Hematologist to decide whether to do it or not. Hopefully, they'll come to an agreement soon because IVF # 3 will at long, long, long last kick if a week or so. Here's keeping my fingers crossed this actually works.. with simplicity and lack of drama. Because I'm tired of being the 2% of the 1% of the 5% of the 2%. I want to bring home a baby and here's hoping the odds are in my favor this time around.
