Good news!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a relief! I went for my labs and ultrasound today. The first thing the nurse said when she came in the room was that my labs were great. That already relieved me a little to begin with because that meant that my eggs were in fact growing. Then she did the ultrasound and she said that there are 4 eggs!!!! They are almost big enough, but not quite. So that means 2 more days of injections (tonight and tomorrow morning) and then tomorrow night I give myself the last injection. That's the one that makes me ovulate. So.....that means we do the IUI on saturday morning. Yay! Yay! Yay! I'm so glad these injections worked. What a huge relief to know that I didn't spend $700 on nothing, well, not nothing, but I'm sure you know what I mean.

So that's where we are now. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers on saturday and hope this is it for us! We will be doing a pregnancy test on February 14th! Yup, on Valentine's day...perfect. :)

Something is happening!

So totally weird, maybe a couple of hours after I posted my last entry, I got my period on my own! Yay! (who knew I would get excited about getting my period...weird)

So I went to Dr. Synn's office, he did an ultrasound and everything looks great. They said my ovaries are perfect. I started my injections yesterday and I will be doing those for a week. On the 28th of this month, I will go back to the office and have some lab work. They will be checking my estradiol levels and then later that day I have an ultrasound to see how many eggs (if any) I have going on in there. If the egg count is good and they are the right size, I will be having my first IUI on the 30th! So keep your fingers and toes crossed and keep us in your prayers. I think the 2 weeks following the insemination will be the 2 hardest weeks ever. If only there was a way of knowing right away if the insemination worked or not...

I will let you know what happens.

I know, I suck

I know it's been a while, I just don't really have that much new stuff going on.

My trip to Montreal was wonderful. My new nephew is the cutest, sweetest thing in the world! Everybody was so nice to me when I was there. They knew that I wouldn't get that much time with Liam so they let me cuddle with him as much as I wanted. He's such a sweet little guy. It's hard not being there to see him grow up...hopefully we can get out of here soon and get to Indy so that I can be closer to family.

So the last time that I posted, I let you know that I was just waiting until I got back from Montreal to start Progesterone so that I could get a period since it had been 2 months since the last time that I had one. Once I take progesterone for a week, 2-3 days after I stop, I get a period. Then we were going to start injections to get me ready for an IUI. Well, of course, with my luck (not) I started my period while I was in Montreal. What does that mean for us you ask...well it means that we have to wait another month before we can start IUI's since I couldn't go to see Dr. Synn while I was in Canada. Stupid body! Anyhow, so now I am just waiting for my period once again. If I don't get it within the next couple of days, I will start progesterone and get the freakin ball rolling. So that's where we are now...waiting once again for something to happen.

So really that's all that is new for now. I will let you know what happens when something actually happens.
