Murphy's law can suck it!

Hello puppets
So, I was supposed to take a pregnancy test on the 25th. Well, I decided that I would take it a day early. The reason for this is that September 24th was my granddad's birthday. Anybody who knows me well, knows that my granddad is the most important man in my life...well, until I met my wonderful husband. My granddad passed away almost 13 years ago and when he died, a huge piece of my heart died with him. He was more of a father to me than my biological father ever was and I miss him dearly. So the 24th is a special day in my heart and I figured that it might bring me luck. Well, it didn't. Negativo one more time. And of course, since I spent money on a pregnancy test, I get my period that same afternoon. I should have waited one more day before I went and wasted a test. Stupid murphy's law just cost me $ grrrr! Oh well, what can you do. The combination of the negative result, missing my granddad Henri and having a shitty night at work made it a yucky day. Seriously, work is absolute crap right now. So many people are ready to quit because one person is making our lives miserable. We have to constantly watch our backs and it makes it a horrible environment to work in. Even the doctors are commenting on that fact. I am soooooo ready to move to Indy it's not even funny.

So what's next for us? Well I went and had my blood work drawn today. which was day 3 of my cycle and I called the fertility doc's office to let them know when cycle day one was so that they can book my hystersalpingogram. They are very nice at that office. I had heard some negative comments about the staff there, but they have been wonderful so far.

I am actually off for 4 days in a row...yay yay yay! Tonight I am chillin' like bob dylan. Mike is at a race so i have the place to myself. I will catch up on my shows from this week, take a nice long hot shower and start some laundry and just enjoy the evening. Hell, maybe I'll even bust out a nice bottle of wine.

I have booked my flight to Montreal in december. I am excited to go back home for a bit although, I am dreading the snow a bit. I'd rather go to Montreal in early fall or late spring but I have a very important reason to go in the dead of winter. I'm going to be an auntie and I cannot wait to meet my new nephew!

I bid you goodnight

Tests, tests and more tests

Well, the appointment yesterday went well. I really like this Dr. He's quite nice...has a horrible comb over, but he's really nice. Actually, all the staff that I met yesterday was wonderful and helpful.

So he went over my entire history and pretty much said that he is going to be putting me through more tests. First, he wants to check my hormone levels on the third day of my next cycle...on that exact day, no earlier, no later. I guess that determines how many good eggs I have. Then on the 7th day of that cycle, I am to go do a hystersalpingogram to check and see if my tubes are in fact open. He was really surprised that my prior doctors had not performed those tests on me. Once those are done, he will most likely start me on fertility shots. I guess that clomid increases your chances for pregnancy just the first 3-4 months, after that, it decreases your chances. Go figure.

So that's where we are. If I don't have a period by September 25th, I am to do a pregnancy test. If it's negative, I am to start progesterone again to get my period and then do the tests like he said. If it's positive, well, our work is done. He does not want me to use clomid anymore, but he does want me to continue with the dreaded Glucophage...and the gassy-ness continues!

I just hope that my insurance covers some of this stuff. Thankfully, it covered yesterday's consult. As for the hystersalpingogram, they put my diagnosis as "irregular menses", not 'infertility" so hopefully the insurance will cover it.

So, once again, it's wait and see all over again

Pineapple Express

Saw it when it first came out and it's hilarious. Totally want to go see it again. Just had to share

Anyway, so tomorrow is the day that I go to my first Fertility doc appointment. I'm a little nervous...no excited...no anxious to go. I don't know what I'm feeling, I'm just hoping this gets figured out. Like my GP said, I'm getting "egg-old" so I need this done. According to my grandmother's friend (she is an astrologer...is that even a word? She does tarot card readings and stuff) she says that I will be pregnant by my next birthday. I know a lot of people think that stuff is a bunch of crap, but I totally believe in it. Maybe that belief is what makes things happen, but who gives a shit as long as it works right? It's just like when I was having a lot of nightmares and I got a dreamcatcher and the nightmares stopped...probably all psychological but who cares as long as it works.

Lily, Ned and Chuck are coming to visit! Lily, Ned and Chuck are coming to visit! I can't wait!

Oh and Smashbox make-up rocks.
