left side....again

So for the second month in a row I am ovulating on the left side, ugh. This is so frustrating and emotionally draining. The 90 min drive home after hearing that news is never a good one. We are thinking of our options and trying to figure out what we want to do. We are going to try once again next month. This time, though, we are going to do a higher dose of clomid, schedule an ultrasound for day 12, and if we are on the right side then we will do a trigger shot. That will basically give the dr's a more accurate window of ovulation, about 36 hours. So after the trigger, we will return the next day or so to do the IUI. We are also going to look into having Shorty carry. We do have an advantage since we technically have 2 uteri to carry babies. However we get a baby, we just want to be parents (though it does need to be legal!) lol *sigh* so for now, just yet another 2ww until my cycle starts again, then a 2ww after that to see if we are right sided. ugh

january update

So, we did get to do an ultrasound on Monday...had amazing follicles! One was 30 one was 26, optimal for inseminating and lining was 12...perfect...and on the LEFT side...seriously???? this is why we do an ultrasound so that we aren't just guessing and hoping. We now have only had 2 official insem attempts, but have been working at it for 5 months. *sigh* trying to stay positive is difficult but we want this so much that we have to be. Try again next month...lets hope that the clomid is now syncing with my body and the follicles will be on the right and as big as they were in January...fingers crossed!

happy new year

ugh...as usual nothing is easy with ttc! we have to go to Medford for Shorty's carpal tunnel surgery on Wednesday...could we hope to have a pos opk on tuesday???? of course not! it had to be today, a holiday and the day before a federal holiday....ugh!

paged the Dr this morning and she said "well, i hate to say it but we may not be able to do it this month with the holiday" seriously????? We missed last month bc I ov early (don't know left or right) and with every other month a no go bc of the blocked tube....we can't afford not to try! but...it's a $500 shot in the dark without an ultrasound....omg I hate being in this predicament!
