swimmers on board!

Ok, we had a great insemination today! I read somewhere that my lucky color today was red so I wore a red shirt, a bra with red in it and red undies...I went all out! lol We did the trigger shot Tuesday night around 9pm. On our way to the Dr today, around 9am, i swear I felt a crazy ovulation pain! that would be exactly 36 hours after the shot which is crazy. We inseminated 2.5 hours later which was perfect timing the Dr said. She had to grab my cervix again but it didn't hurt as much this time as last. We both feel good about it. I know, we have to feel good about it every month because if we didn't, why would we do it, right? Well somehow we both just feel better about it this time than the other times. I am very ready for a BFP +++ It seems that things this month are falling into place. Shorty finally got a decision on her 100% disability from the VA, and it was approved! With that, we got 19 months worth of backpay that helped to pay off pretty much everything. We also found our dream house...just waiting for things to fall off of her credit so we can get a pre-approval and make an offer. Fingers crossed that we have a new house for a new baby very soon!!!

Its a miracle

Omg...two months in a row we actually get to inseminate! The largest follicles yet. 31 on the left (even though we don't care about that) and 29 on the right! Trigger shot tonight and iui on thursday!

that was a short two weeks...

wow, I can't believe it has already been two weeks since we found out we were not pg. That means it is, in fact, time for another ultrasound for follicle check. headed to medford after class for some errands and a visit to the Dr. I am feeling bloated this month so I guess that means the clomid is working lol. lets just hope its working on the right side!

ultrasound # 110 (or something like that)

Tuesday afternoon we will once again be staring at a screen hoping to see some very big follicles formed in my RIGHT ovary. Trigger shot in the fridge, sperm should have arrived at the office today and I took 150 mg clomid per day this month....we are ready for this dangit!

not this month

today is day 30 and the test was negative. I guess I will stop the progesterone and wait for AF. :-( ugh to quote my dad, this sucks. Oh well, pick yourself up and start again, right? that's all you can do.

Still waiting

So, we tested early and had a negative test. We decided to just wait it out and see what happens. Today oz day 29 of my cycle, my usual start day is 28-30 so we will see what happens. If I haven't started tomorrow we are going to evaluate our next move...do we test at home thursday morning knowing that it should be pretty accurate by then, or do we go for a blood test for an absolute definitive? We will know by tomorrow night what to do and by thursday should know for sure whether we are going to be in a 9 month wait or another 2ww...

ok i gave in

I was feeling blech all day so when I came home for lunch, I POAS-it was negative :-( It could very well be too early. AF isn't due for anywhere from 2 days to 4 days not accounting for the lateness possibilities of the progesterone. If it is, in fact, still 4 days out, then yes it would quite possibly be too early. We will wait until Monday or Tuesday...maybe Wednesday, or maybe I will go for a blood test bc by this time it should be definitive. We shall see. For now, as much as I know it could still be positive I am feeling defeated, yet again, and I am tired of this feeling

it feels like xmas eve

This morning is day 3 of a headache. Yesterday during class it was so bad I thought I was going to have to leave, the lights were killing me and everytime I tried to look at the powerpoint it made it worse. I also feel very bloated today. It is a cruel joke that the side of effects of progesterone mimic the signs of pg! And that taking progesterone can actually delay your AF (mine isn't due yet so I'm not sure if it will delay mine or not!)

It is like xmas eve because I was very tempted this morning to POAS...very tempted! Its like wanting to open all the presents, but I didn't. Shorty said yesterday-well if you're going to waste one by doing it tomorrow then I will go ahead and pee on one lmao point taken dear, point taken!

I also understand that tomorrow mornings test may not be the definitive. Tomorrow is day 27 and I am usually (I am pretty clockwork when not on fert drugs) 28-30 days. I should be close enough to AF and far enough after the IUI (tomorrow is day 14). Fingers crossed! More news tomorrow!!

just a few more days

This morning, if I didn't know better, I would have been sure that I was about get AF. I had the exact cramps I have the first day of my cycle. But there was nothing, thank goodness! I am experiencing the indigestion again too. I have it pretty often but not usually all day long. Whether its pg symptoms or side effects of the progesterone, I can't wait for Sunday. I think I am actually being a little patient because I am so afraid of seeing a BFN again...excited to know but very scared!

is it Sunday yet?

Seriously, it isn't Sunday yet? lol Yesterday I was not feeling well all day, just kind of indigestion. Thought I was hungry but when I ate, it didn't help. Today, feeling better but still a little indigestion and starving. I am doing my best to NOT read into anything but does anyone actually succeed at that?

Less than a week...almost

So we are almost less than a week away from being able to do a HPT and find out if we are expecting! I have a feeling that day, Easter Sunday, the test will be negative, only because I think it might be too early to since my cycle isn't due to start until 4 or 5 days later...this means that our wait could be a bit longer. But who knows, maybe that will be our big Easter surprise, a nice BFP! I am still feeling a few different things than before. Still a little crampy and some twinges. Trying to ignore them and think they are just the progesterone lol
