My day of pee...part 2

Not to worry, this isn't gross or disgusting or anything like that. This is actually really cute and once again, if this cycle works, it'll be nice to have it documented. If not, well, I'm knocked up so we won't even go there. :)

Anyway, after my near-spillage-of-pee event in my truck, we went home. We had Peyton with us with the goal of their parents hoping she'll take a nap at our house before going to a parade later that night in our town.

I think we have "sucker" written all over our faces.

Anyway, Mark, Peyton and I get home. Of course Peyton is wide awake at our house. So, I'm pouring pee from the baggie into a cup getting ready to test with a digital. She's watching me and wanting to know what's in there and what I'm doing. Trying to explain it to a 2-year-old is next to impossible. Finally, I dip the digital into my pee, put the cap on and hand it to Peyton. I hold her we had to see if there was a happy face with a smile. Peyton nods and says "Okay, a happy face...a happy face...a happy face". I swear to God that chanting helped because lo and behold our happy face came. When she saw my happy face, she had the biggest grin on her face. So, Peyton and I were dancing in the bathroom doing our "happy face dance". It was so cute.

Then, Tyler had spent the night after the parade (I'm telling ya..."sucker"). I had to go in for an IUI at 8 the next morning so I was explaining to him that I would have to leave for a bit and Mark would take care of him. Of course Tyler's at the age where he asks A LOT of questions.

Tyler: Where do you have to go?
Tammy: Down to the doctor.
Tyler: Why?
Tammy: Because I just have to.
Tyler: But why?
Tammy: Well, if you must know, we're hoping to have a baby.
Tyler: They have babies there?
Tammy: No, we're hoping to have one.
Tyler: How?
**Picture Mark in the background DYING of laughter**
Tammy: Well, let's just say the doctor is going to help.
Tyler: How is he going to help?
Tammy: He's a she.
Tyler: How is she going to help?
Tammy: Why don't you ask your mom and dad?
Tyler: But I want to know now.

I finally bribed him to shut up with candy, popcorn and a movie. Whew.

My day of pee

I have quite the interesting story about my pee which, if this cycle works, will make a very interesting entry in the baby book, so I wanted to share.

**WARNING** Flat out, this may be gross. Just keep in mind, this is my 12th IUI and desperate times call for desperate measures.

It was recommended to me to save my pee in case I was close to a surge so that I can backtrack and retest. My initial thought was okay, that's disgusting. Cups of pee all over the house? But, I am very desperate at this point, so I thought what have I got to lose? As it turned out, it saved me this cycle as I got my smiley because I saved my pee.

So, yes, I was saving my pee and had cups of pee on my dresser. Saturday morning, I was going to be gone and wasn't sure how I was going to save it. I thought of it too late that I couldn't go to a drug store to find something that would work..that would've been way too easy. So, my friend gave me a few suggestions. One was to pee into a baggie, put it in another baggie and then when I come home, put it into a cup. So, once again, desperate times call for desperate measures. Only, I wasn't comfortable putting it in 2 baggies, I used 4 and used a big freezer gallon bag to seal the deal...there was noooo way I was going to spill pee in my purse.

Okay, so I go into the gas station and into the restroom. If you've ever tried peeing into a baggie without getting it on you, it's pretty dang hard...but I did it. I had baggies everywhere and my cheapie test strip out. Thank God they don't have cameras in those bathrooms....or I hope not. So I've got my baggies sprewed out everywhere and I'm praying no one comes and knocks on the door.

So, I have my pee in my purse and my cheapie test strip in there waiting to show me the results. Mark was really wanting some nuts so I'm in the store looking for nuts. Then, I start thinking about the situation. Okay, so I'm here, looking for nuts with a bag of pee in my purse. What if we get robbed? They're going to think I'm a freak. Needless to say, I got out of there real quick.

Nuts and pee....nice combo.

Anyway (sorry, this is getting long), I go to the truck and take out the cheapie and lo and behold, it's a dark positive. I'm thinking the surge is way too early, so I'm thinking I better test with a First Response which I had luckily brought with just in case. So, I'm holding my bag of pee and testing and patiently waiting for the test results. Suddenly the door flies open. Luckily I didn't spill any pee but it was close. Apparently my mom was worried because it was taking me so long and she was worried something was wrong with Mark or something. So, she sees me holding my pee with a stick in the other hand. Thankfully, my mom was completely understanding and didn't think I was too weird...or I hope not.

Can you imagine the story I could tell our peanut?

My friend who had this pee idea had a great way of trying to explain this to a judge if I was ever stopped and was found with pee in my purse:

"Your honor, this lady in Arizona off the internet... no I've never met her... well she told me to do that... no your honor I would not jump off a bridge if a stranger told me to... yes your honor it was for medical reasons and my purse was a portable lab for the day... no your honor it had nothing to do with supplying urine for drug tests to drug addicts.... no your honor I am not smart mouthing you...."

These are the days of our lives.

It's go time!!

Yay! I'm so excited you guys! I got my smiley today at 10! I'm so grateful to chocodaisy who sent me some cheapies. I got a + on the cheapies, but a - on the First Response...then did a digital and got a smiley!! So, my first IUI is at 10 in the morning and then the second at 10 p.m. on Sunday!! Woohoo!!! I'm so excited you guys! It's like it's my first time. :)

Thanks again for all the support!! You guys are the best!!!

TTC update

Thanks so much to everyone for your comments on my hair! That was so sweet of you guys to notice! (((HUGS)))

Just wanted to give a quick TTC update. I'm on CD8. It looks like the inseminations will be early next week....possibly this weekend, but I'm leaning towards early next week. I did see my midwife in the clinic yesterday and she's all set to go! She felt really bad about not calling me back. She's been really busy as she delivered 6 babies this week and has been running around with her kids' sporting events. But she said to just call when I need her and she'll be there. I have her house and cell number so she can't get away from me. :) Poor thing.

Thanks so much for all your support and prayers! It means so much!

TTC update

I want to say thanks for all your support! I've heard that people dealing with infertility are the most caring, supportive, patient people in the world....and I couldn't agree more, even if our patience is tested a little much. :) Thanks so much for all the support!

I'm currently on CD22 and should be getting AF in the next week. But, check out this perfect pregnancy chart:

http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/186e65

Too bad there is no possible way I'm pregnant. :) It must be all the changes I've made.

(I don't understand why it doesn't show a link and just the web address no matter what I do...anyone know what I'm doing wrong???)

Anyway, the plan is to do a natural cycle next month...no meds, no trigger, no ultrasounds. I still have to talk to my MW about it, but I think she'll be okay with it. With all the work I've done, I want to see how my body does. I've also bought a saliva microscope which is another test to help pinpoint things. I'm definitely not going to miss my surge this month. :) We'll be trying next month! I can't believe it's been 3 months since trying....in some ways it's gone so fast and in other ways, way too slow.

I've also decided that when I'm done with TTC, I will be donating my monitor and saliva microscope in hopes of it helping someone else. I talked to Mark about it and he was in full agreement, saying that once I get pregnant we can donate them. I told him I wanted to wait until I had a baby in my arms as anything can happen and that even with our baby, I still wasn't sure how "done" I would be, so it might be awhile before donating the items.

I think Mark's eyes were just about going to fall out of his head...his face turned white. I think panic set in. Oh, no! She's talking about more than ONE!

My detox

First of all, thanks sooo much for the annivesary wishes! You guys are great!

Here's a picture of the supplements I have to take.

So far, it's been a struggle. I've thrown up every morning but Monday since I started this. They think I'm a little too sensitive to the detox program, so we're cutting back just a little. I guess that sometimes happens. They wanted to really push it for me, but I'm just too sensitive to it. Man, I hope this is all worth it. I had an emotional breakdown to Mark yesterday morning when I was so sick. I kept thinking if I can't handle this, how am I going to handle being pregnant? And of course, the familiar questions an IF person ask "Why me?", "Why do I have to struggle so much for something someone else doesn't have to?", "Why does this have to be so hard?", etc. We all know those questions. :)

Thanks again for the support you guys! It means so much! :) (((HUGS)))

Update

I'm soooo sorry you guys! I've been pretty busy. :(

First of all, Mark is doing much, much better. He's no longer sick to his stomach. I think it was just a little bug, but he's doing a lot better. Thanks so much for your concern everyone! And Peyton is doing good. :) I could hardly see the bump anymore.

Thursday, I went to see a chiropractor/nutritionist who has a special interest in pregnancy. I mostly wanted to start seeing a chiropractor because I've had problems with my back since high school when I was a gymnast and I had heard that if your back is out, it can significantly hurt your chances. Right away when she touched my back, she could tell I had a lot of damage in my back and neck. :( It didn't surprise me at all because my low back gave me the most problems in high school and I landed on my neck quite a few times and had fallen and gotten a bad case of whiplash in high school, too. She noticed I had a lot of damage on the right side of my neck and asked if I had injured that side. I had actually fallen on my neck on that side during a meet. My parents had taped it and my loving brother brought it to his Biology class the next day and showed it to them....first regular speed, then slow motion, then backwards. So, I clearly remember that fall and I just love my brother for sharing that special moment, too. :)

Anyway, so they ran a bunch of films and I found out I have many twisted vertebrae in my back. My spine is actually twisted in the upper back. I have bone degeneration in my hips and pelvis. So now, I'm on a chiropractic program which I'm hoping will help increase our chances with everything they found. I do have some back pain, but not a whole lot. She thought I had the pain tolerance of a horse to live with that pain and not think there was a problem.....maybe a dead horse? :)

Oh, and Mom, I do want to thank you for letting me be in gymnastics...and no sarcasm there. I loved the sport and everything about it and I wouldn't have changed it for the world. I'm glad I got to experience it. I can imagine you're feeling a little guilty, but don't. :) I feel bad I made you drag me everywhere to all the appointments, ERs and everything....I'm sorry. :(

So, anyway.....this is getting long...I'm sorry. :( Along with the chiropractic care, I was also started on a detox diet, and that's no fun. :( I have to take a lot of supplements along with no sugar, wheat, gluten, you name it. I had heard about detox diets and how it could help and I knew if I didn't at least try it, I would always wonder if it would've helped. So, I started that today. I can't believe how much I can't eat. :( But if it helps, it's all worth it. It started out rough, though. :( I actually got sick this morning and threw up. Conveniently I didn't make it to the bathroom in time....that's never fun. :( Then I went shopping with my mom later today (which was fun...thanks Mom!) and felt better until the way home when I got sick again. :( I took an hour nap and I feel better now. I keep telling myself if this helps me get pregnant, it's definitely worth it. I'd keep doing it over and over.

So, that's my exciting life the last few days. I left the chiropractic office $1200 poorer. :( Unfortunately that office is out of network for our insurance, so it won't cover it. But, like I've rambled on and on about, if it works, it's worth it. Mark has been soooo supportive. He's been with to both appts (about 45 min away) and he doesn't do good with car rides so it means a lot to me that he goes. Then, I was worried about the $ and he said he could try to get a part-time job. What a sweetheart. I know he wouldn't be able to handle that, plus we'd lose the diability, but that fact that he was thinking about it meant the world to me. After he said that, I stopped complaining about the money.

I'm sorry I've bored you. I'll give you all a cookie for reading everything!
cookie
Dang that looks good.....and I can't even have it. :(

Love to you all!

It's hit me.....

I knew it would. I thought I was taking this BFN a little too well. Yesterday afternoon, it hit me. I'm not a mother. We are now on our 12th try. I was in Wal-Mart yesterday and walked by a pregnant lady and a bunch of questions went through my mind. What am I doing wrong? What makes her so special that she gets to have a baby and I don't? Am I being punished? Would I be a horrible mother? Haven't I been through enough? I then went over to the liquor store and got a nice big bottle of Arbor Mist.

I know there's nothing I'm doing wrong, nobody's more special, I'm not being punished, I'd be a good mother and there are a lot of other people that have been through more than I have. But when I get my bad days, it seems I focus so much on the negative and not on the positive. The last couple days have been really hard. I just want to be a mother so bad and it seems so close and yet so far away. Sometimes I just go through a little slump, feel sorry for myself for a few days and then bounce back.

Our hot tub broke down this weekend. :( This is the third time it's started leaking so we aren't going to fix it again. Plus, it doesn't make much sense to fix it because Mark never uses it and I can't use it during the TWW and if I get pregnant, I can't use it for at least 9 months.....so realistically, it doesn't make much sense to fix it. We've decided we're going to make the room into my scrapbooking room. :) My dad's gonna make a table top to put on top of the hot tub so I can have my table. I'm pretty excited about it.

I'm hoping in a few years, we can get a brand new hot tub (this one was used and we only paid $300...just goes to show the cheap comes out expensive). Although Mark does not want a new one. We're still debating on that. I would love to get another one but Mark says there is no way we'll get another one. I'm not too happy with him right now......I still think he's the best husband, though. :)

The first IUI this month

I had my IUI yesterday morning. My MW had a couple emergencys so she was an hour late. So, our "markers" sat out for an hour and 15 min. At first my MW thought I was upset because of the timing and then, in between tears, I told her the sample was out too long and nothing was going right this cycle. She said she didn't realize that...how can you not? I mean, duh, obviously with an IUI, something is out, you know?

Anyway, I'm frustrated. I know it wasn't my MW's fault and next time we decided I'd call ahead and make sure she's running on time. It's just frustrating when nothing goes right. We have another IUI scheduled for tomorrow morning....but if the timing is right on that, by my calculations, my eggies would be in the mid-30s which is way too big I think.

So, like Mark said "Operation Get Knocked Up...take 12". I'm pretty sure we're looking at try #12.

Oh, and when I was talking to the nurse about the sample and it being out, she asked what kind of sample.

Okay, duh. I'm here for an IUI. Do you think I'm talking about a sample of cheese or something?

So, on a positive note, here are a couple pictures from Easter:

Tyler and Peyton with the Easter baskets the Easter bunny left at our house.
Peyton just hanging out, waiting to eat.
This was my bruise from my trigger shot. :( I know it's not very big. I never get a bruise, though, so I was surprised. Mark felt really bad. So, at least I'm getting a little sympathy. Anyone else get a bruise from the trigger? This month is just going soooo "great". :)

The plan

Yesterday was a very frustrating Monday. I had an ultrasound yesterday morning that showed 2 eggs at 28 mm. I was really bumming...they were too big. I thought about skipping this month but I knew I would always wonder. Anyway, I called and left a message for my MW at 10....called again at 1....called again at 4:30. I finally get a call from her at 5:15. Apparently other stuff got put on my message and she didn't get it. I was so frustrated. Anyway, at first she wanted to do an IUI at 36 and then one at 40 post trigger. I did not want to do that so I told her I wanted to do one at 12 and 36. She must get really frustrated with me because it seems I'm always second guessing her. But, we spend $450/month so I'm going to get what I want. I'm sure according to my mom, I always get what I want all the time....right Mom? I'm pretty demanding. :)

So, I have an IUI at 11 this morning and one at 9 tomorrow morning. Honestly, I don't feel good about this cycle. I think we overcooked the eggs. But, I'd rather give it a shot than not. I'm just frustrated. I wish one month would go right.

I do know if it's meant to happen, God will let it happen. I have to keep focused on that. But sometimes it's so hard to stay positive.

The plan for this month

I'm sorry that I've kind of let you guys wonder what was going on this month. I didn't really know myself until yesterday. It was rather frustrating. I did finally get a hold of my MW Monday night at 9 p.m. (I think I was seriously going to have a nervous breakdown before then). She was concerned about my lining when I told her the numbers. At first she thought we should maybe skip this month but I told her I wasn't sure about that because I know we have to take next month off.

So, she called my RE's office who suggested we continue with the plan but add in estrogen supplements. Thanks you guys who told me about that. :) So this is the plan:

Today is CD7.
CD8-10: Estrogen.
CD9: Bravelle shot (and that STINGS!!)
CD12: U/S to check follies.

I hope this works. We've decided to go with 2 IUIs this month because we're skipping next month. It's more $ but I want to go 100%. If this month doesn't work, we're stopping the Clomid.

At what point do they tell you to do IVF? With how emotional and stressful it was for Michelle and watching others on the board go through it like Tracey and Michell with it not working, I'm not sure if we really want to do that. But, I want a baby. I'm just curious if anyone knows.

Thanks again for support, comments and everything! It means a lot. :)

BFN

It hurts so bad. I know if it was meant to be, it would've happened. I do think God has a reason for everything and I know He's watching over me. But no matter how much I think that, it still hurts.

Although I'm disappointed about my BFN, I'm more upset about Michelle. I would've given up any BFP for her to have this one stick. I want so much to be there with her and hold her. She doesn't deserve this.

Thanks again for the support you guys.

Progesterone is EVIL!!!

I broke down...


I wasn't going to buy any more PM stuff because I kind of felt like I was jinxing myself and I think my mom was getting a little irritated at me that I was buying stuff and not leaving anything for her to buy. Well, I got my quarterly Lakeside Collection magazine and they had the cutest PM stuff and I just had to buy it. Here are the banks I bought. I had to buy a girl and a boy one because I don't know what we're going to have....although according to my mom she thinks one of each. :) I also bought PM photo frames (boy and girl) and a wall plaque (boy and girl). They are so adorable. The pictures doesn't do it justice.

Not much else to report. Still in the TWW. AF isn't due until next Tuesday. I hope she stays away. I have signs she's coming but I've boarded up the house really good. That should help.

Hope you guys are all having a great week!

Hockey stick procedure results!

I had my u/s this morning. I had 3 eggs that were 20-21 mm (considered mature) and 1 potential mature one at 16! Like whoa!! So we're doing the trigger tonight at 7 and will do the IUI Sunday morning at 9 which is 38 hours past trigger...seems a little late to me, but that was what the infertility clinic recommended doing. Texas2 from the board had the exact same regimen (several eggs, triggered and IUI 38 hours past) and they ended up with twins! Whoa!!

I do believe that if it's meant to happen, it doesn't matter how many eggs and what the timing is....God will let it happen.

Mom, just remember, if it's twins or anything more, you're moving in. Dad's fending for himself. :)

Thursday, February 14, 2008

The plan

Well, we're taking a "backseat" approach so to speak. I'm not doing anything...not temping, no OPKs, no monitor. We'll see how that goes. I just don't want to put the extra pressure on myself that I have been. I realize that it's gonna happen when God wants it to and it doesn't matter how many eggs or swimmers I have.

So the plan:

CD3-7: Clomid 100 mg.
CD9: Bravelle shot
CD11: Ultrasound and estradiol level. Ovidrel if mature follies. If not, more Bravelle
CD13: Same as CD11 and then every other day until mature follies

It's a lot less pressure on myself...I just show up and they do the work. I'm not sure how it's gonna go but I'm trying a different approach. I realize it's gonna be hard to keep track of me, but I'll keep you guys posted. :)

Wednesday, February 13, 2008

A little update

Thanks so much everyone for the support! It's very appreciated. I feel a little better, but still not real good. I was throwing up again a couple nights ago and yesterday only had Malt-O-Meal to eat for supper and that was it. Then I was in bed at 6. :( I feel like I'm going downhill again. Plus, I haven't been able to take my Zoloft because I haven't been able to stomach that, so I've been having emotional breakdowns. :( I've heard the influenza takes a couple weeks so I'm not too worried, but I'm supposed to be hosting a baby shower on Sunday and I can't imagine getting everything ready for that...yikes.

On TTC news, I got AF yesterday! It was the first time ever that when I've gotten AF, I haven't sobbed in my bed. :) The plan for this month is that I'm basically not going to do anything. I've decided to take a more "It's in God's hands" approach this month. I'm not temping, not testing on my monitor or OPKs. I talked to my midwife about it who's going to talk to the infertility clinic we've gone to and come up with a plan. I think I'm going to be on Clomid this month but I don't even know. I'm taking a more relaxed approach. I realize that it doesn't matter how many eggs or swimmers we have...if it's meant to be, it'll happen.

I'll keep you guys posted on the plan. Thanks for all the support! Oh, and Cindy....sorry but the hula in the coconut bra just isn't gonna happen. :)

We had an ultrasound!!!!

I bet you thought it was me....well, gotcha. :) It was Mark. He had an ultrasound of his heart. Just a checkup to make sure things are okay. We don't know the results yet. When Mark first heard he had to have an ultrasound, he was panicking because they would see his "fat belly" and he needed to do more sit-ups. :)

We are so immature. We try to make the clinic visits fun. :) Every time we go to the elevator, we always try to beat each other to push the button. It's just a little game we play...I'm sure other people think we're goons. :) Then, when we're in the elevator, if there's no one there, we make out until the next floor. Pretty cool, huh? :) Well, this time, when we got in the elevator, Mark didn't see that there was someone in there and started kissing me. You should've seen the look on their face...and then Mark's got so red. :) It was so funny.

Then we went to the drug store to get some medication. Mark was going to drop off some movies at the video store at the same time. So, I'm waiting for the medication and then I feel someone grab my butt. I was just about gonna turn and smack someone only to see Mark there. I just said "hi"....but I was so embarrassed because I was so caught off guard. Mark thought it was hilarous.

Never a dull moment with the Wondras. :)

Onto #10

It's over. I was gonna test this morning, but based on my chart this morning (take a look: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/186e65) and the fact that I have horrible cramps, it's over.

Saturday, January 12, 2008

Saturday thoughts

Thanks again so much you guys for the support. It means more than you know. (((HUGS)))

I'm pretty sure AF is right around the corner. She's due tomorrow so I'm thinking she'll be here. I've been more angry right now, but I'm sure the depression and tears will soon be coming...probably when I see her evil face. The cramps are still here...yay! **sarcasm if you didn't catch that** and my back is still killing me.

Wow...am I negative....I'm sorry. :(

On a positive note, we have decided that we are going to take a vacation to Hawaii during our month off! I've always wanted to go and we figured that if we had to go somewhere warm and a beach (doctor's orders :)), we might as well go somewhere we really want to go. We have no money, but I guess we'll splurge. Too bad insurance won't pay for it if it's doctor's orders. :)

A couple days ago, I wrote this and I wanted to share here:

I admit, I was one of those people who thought getting pregnant was so easy. Have sex 2 weeks after your period, sperm meets egg and bada boom, bada bing...you've got yourself a baby. Now I realize how naive I was.

Mark and I have dealt with a lot during our marriage with his health issues, but inferility has been the hardest. To have a dream that seems so close yet so far away. As my friend, Michelle, said, us TTC'ers live different, think different and feel different. I couldn't have said it better myself.

I start each month at CD1-the day AF shows and the hope for that month is officially over. Sometimes I just sit on the toilet crying until I can't cry anymore. Sometimes Mark has to help me up because I have no strength because I hurt so much.

CD3: Still emotionally raw, I have to go in for what some of my TTC friends call a "hockey stick procedure" and they aren't fun. I pray they find no cysts so we can try again that month. Cysts are evil when TTC. I also start Clomid or what some of my TTC friends call the "Devil Dots" for the next 5 days. If you're lucky, you won't have side effects, but for most of us, the name says it all.

CD10: I go in for another "hockey stick procedure". I hope and pray that there is more than 1 egg in there. I have to do these fun procedures every day until my eggs are mature. I also start testing with my fertility monitor and OPKs every day, having to watch what I drink and not pee for 4 hours--a lot harder than it sounds.

Finally, when my eggs are mature, it's time for the trigger shot to release my eggs. It ends up being 4 shots in my hips. 12 hours after the shot, we do an IUI. Another one is done 36 hours after the shot. Because of the "Devil Dots", I get painful ovulation. For a few hours, I feel nauseous and sick and have pain in my ovaries.

Then it's the dreaded TWW when I look for any symptoms, praying to throw up in the morning, praying to be so exhausted I can't keep my eyes open and praying for my basal temp, which I've taken every morning for the last year, to stay up. I have to use progesterone suppositories in my body twice a day, having discharge 24/7 and always feeling like I've wet my pants...icky.

I go through all this only to see that red once again and confirming my shattered dreams, hope gone, my baby once again shattered from my heart and crying until there are no tears.

Why do I go through this? Because of love. I love my baby and I love Mark and I won't give up on either of them.

Even though every month and shattered dream is hard, I do find comfort that:
1. I have found so many wonderful friends through this journey.
2. My marriage has become stronger.
3. I appreciate my nieces and nephew so much more.
4. I will love my baby so much more.
5. Even though I've cried more through this journey, I've prayed more.
6. I've gotten closer to the people in my life.
7. I realize so many people love me and I am blessed.

What do you guys think? I've thought about sharing this with my family....of course warning them about TMI :)....so they know what's it's like every month. But, I'm afraid I'm too negative.

Thanks again you guys for being here and your wonderful support! Hope you all have a great weekend!

So much for triplets.....second post of the day

The ultrasound this morning showed the 2 eggs on my right at 35 and 25. The one on the left has shrunk to 17. So, sorry mom....no triplets....but could be twins. :) I'll still let you quit your job if that's the case. :)

So, the plan is to do the Ovridel tonight at 8:30 and then do an IUI tomorrow morning at 8:30 and then Sunday at 8:30.

Oh....the pharmacy called today and said the HCG arrived today.....gee thanks. At least we'll have it for next month. Wait a minute, there won't be a next month. :)

Thanks again for the wonderful support guys!
