Well, we have to do an HSG this cycle just to make sure that my tubes are open and everything is doing what it should be. Just got off the phone with the Hospital where I have to go for it and my portion of the bill is $840. OUCH!

Luckily it goes towards our deductible, but it is still a huge number. But unfortunately, it means that this is our last cycle. At least for awhile. So we are hoping that it works, but if not, we won’t be able to try again until November at the earliest. 🙁

There is however an upside! If this cycle doesn’t work, Darrell and I have talked about taking time and some of our new friends are going on a cruise in April, so we have talked about going with them. So, no baby then it’s cruise time. I am hoping that we can’t go, but at least it will give us something to look forward to in case it doesn’t work.

3 weeks to go.

The meds:

Clockwise from left: Follistim pen & needles, Follistim Cartridge, Ovidrel HCG Trigger Shot, Prometrium, Clomid, and Estradiol.

Don’t they look like so much fun? I’m okay with the pills. We shall soon see how I adapt to the needles as I absolutely hate needles. Good thing I have a husband who doesn’t mind shooting me up. 🙂

As for the Baseline Ultrasound. We are sitting at on the left: a 6.5, a 4, and four 5’s. On the right: an 11.5 and a 5.

Nurse isn’t to worried about the 11.5. But it’s looking good as we have 7 follicles all within the same size right now. So hopefully they will all grow around the same rate. Fingers crossed on that one. Last month we only had 6 follicles total and 2 of them were about 6 and 4 of them were smaller than 5.

Now I have my next appointment on Tuesday. That will be a big day as I have the Ultrasound in the morning to see how I have responded to the clomid and Follistim and then I have my HSG that afternoon at 1. Yipee? We shall see, we shall see.

Aunt Flow decided to show today. This puts us in position to start Round 2.

I have the first ultrasound tomorrow morning.

I also have an HSG scheduled for next Tuesday. That’ll be fun :/

So we get started with Clomid and injectables.

Fingers crossed once again.

Getting Antsy

Here we are… Less than 18 hours till our blood test. I am getting nervous and excited all at the same time. I’m nervous that we will get a negative, but I am excited that there is a possibility of getting a positive. I don’t know exactly how long it will take to get the blood results back, but I’m hoping that it will be tomorrow afternoon.

I have been really good about not POAS. I want to do an hpt, but I don’t know if I could handle the results. I think I would rather have the blood test tell me since they are WAY more accurate than an hpt. There is a huge part of me that wants to know NOW, and as many people who know me know, I am a planner and I hate not knowing things. I know that the statistics are against me, but I’m hoping that statistics are taking the month off :).

So hopefully I will have good news by the time I get off of work tomorrow. That is a measly 26 hours away, but it seems so far away!!!! I know a lot of this post seems like whining, but I’m mildly stressed and not sure what I will do if it is a negative. I know we can try again next month. It just means waiting another 4 weeks before another test. But I guess I can think about that tomorrow night if need be.

Fingers crossed.
