I shot myself

Tell me that is not funny!  I died laughing when I saw it.  Had to share... sorry, I have been out of school too long.  Normally, my cheesy jokes are wasted on the kids. hehehehe I wish my ovaries were 'easy'.  

I am feeling much better.  I am taking my Clo.mid and gave myself the 1st of 3 Folli.stem shots last night.  It was so easy.  Now I did have some tenderness which I hope is ovary action.  I dreamed of 5 little follie faces.  We'll see Thursday at my 1st ultrasound.  This will let me know if I need more Folli.stem shots or can trigger.  Have any of you gone through this?  I am hoping to not have to buy the gold that is Foll.istem again for this cycle.  But remember, this cycle it was free.  But everything else costs a buttload!  I am taking my vitamins and staying away for caffine like a champ.  Come on ovaries!

I am keeping busy making necklace and bracelets.  That is sooooo much harder than I 1st thought. but I must admit, it is a bit addictive.  Pics to come.

Crampy

So I am on my way!  This is a monster period from Hell!  Wow, crampy McCrampson is here. Normally, my periods are so light and easy come easy go 4 days and it's over.  I think since I didn't have a visit last month and had the septum surgery, it is Hello, Dolly this month.  In hopes of healthy follies, I have stopped drinking Diet Cokes and have weaned down to 1 tea or coffee a day.  Also, taking my vitamins and Folic Acid.  

Today is Clom.id day 1.  In the past I have had headaches and hot flashes.  I am not sure what to expect with Folli.stim.  Anyone have any warnings or things to expect?  My Lady RE is hoping to see 5 follies.  On Clom.id alone, I only had 1.  At that time, we did timed intercourse.  I had NO IDEA, that the RE considered this Clo.mid not working.  But we still triggered, tried, and tested.  uuuhhhhh I sure hope we have more than 1.  Yeah, I am already hoping...

Waiting

This is one of the many flowers from my little Sam's hibiscus tree.  It is so cute!  

I received my meds in the mail  this weekend.  I am trying to just stop and smell the roses while awaiting the arrival of AF.  I know that this cycle will be nerve wracking once it starts with the pill/ injectables combo.  I have been reading so many IF blogs that the people have finally gotten their wish.  I hope that this is my time.  My stomach and sides feel 90% better.  I am just careful with stretching and lifting.  But I am starting back at the gym  later this week.  I gotta keep my BP under control.  We are nervous and excited for where this ride will take us.  

Other than thinking about this, I have started planning for the upcoming school year. The beginning of school is so exciting.  A fresh start...an adventure.  

Here I go again

Here I go again!  I had my follow up with Lady RE today.  She told me we can jump right in with this upcoming cycle!?!  I am currently taking Prove.ra to trigger AF.  The it's off to the races with Clo.mid 150, Ovidre.l, Follis.tim, and IUI#1 here we come.  As she starts rattling off all this protocol, my head is spinning.  I hate waiting, but going up to the next step is very scary.  

We are running out of places to go-- injectables only + IUI or IVF will be all that is left after this.  I just told her, "Let's see what happens, before we start thinking about failing."  The awesome news?  Well they gave me this My Jour.ney card to get Clo.mid free for 3 doses and a free Follisim voucher!  So just $77 + IUI this cycle.  

Please pray for my ovaries and new and improved uterus.  Also, I'll be cheering on my husband's lowly 13 million guys to get the job done :)  Let the obsession begin (again).
