Darrell & Sharyn

It is currently 12:02 Am which means that in less than 11 hours, we will be having our IUI. So exciting! So I am off to bed so we can wake up and drive the 2.5 hours to Ft. Worth.

**fingers crossed**

As of right now, I have 64 hours to go until IUI day! My U/S this morning went great! I don’t have any follicles on the Left side (at least none worth measuring) and I have a whopping 5 on the right. Only three of them are of the larger worth noting size which is why I haven’t been canceled.

Technology is not working very well for me it seems as I watched my OB’s office fax the results to the RE before I left, but the RE nurse (Amy) called and said she didn’t have it yet. I had to call the OB again, get things figured out and refaxed there. Then Amy called and said that I needed to take the Ovidrel shot tomorrow night and I told her I didn’t have it. Whoops! We were suppose to have that bought and delivered last week. So Amy had to call the pharmacy and have them call me to schedule payment and delivery.

The pharmacy didn’t call until 45 minutes after Amy said they were suppose to call in the next 5. I was about to flip out since there wasn’t any way I could get a hold of  Amy as it was almost 6 and she left the office at 6. Plus I needed the meds delivered tomorrow. Luckily, things worked out and we have ordered the meds and they will be here before noon. (Hopefully nothing goes wrong on the delivery side)

Oh, and another thing, the insurance isn’t covering any of the U/S because it is for infertility. Boo! But they are going to put the cost of them towards our yearly deductible. That’s at least something. Even though we probably won’t reach our deductible.

So that’s about it. We will be heading to Ft. Worth on Thursday Morning which is nice since I don’t have work and D is working extra this week so that he can just comp that day. 🙂 After the procedure in Ft. Worth, We are going to head over to Albany and hit up the Fort Griffin Fandangle. It’s an outdoor theater like the Ramona Pageant in SoCal.

I will try to write more this weekend.

The RE finally called me on Friday around 4:45PM to tell me that they hadn’t gotten my results yet and that the OB’s office was closed. This was what I was dreading happening. Luckily, since I actually had the U/S at the Hospital, they were still there and the RE was able to get the results before 5:30. We were told that things looked great (no numbers, but we can do with a great) and that they were putting me on some more meds. So now I am using estrogen pills twice a day. It’s not a lot, only about 4mg/day, but it is more meds. I have no idea exactly how long I will be taking them for, but the pharmacy gave me a 30 day supply. 🙂

I also have to call the OB on Monday morning and schedule another U/S for that day. We are getting close. We should be driving to Ft. Worth for the insemination sometime this week. I am hoping that we will be doing it on Thursday as I have work on Wednesday and Orkin is coming by (usually, they just do the outside, but we want them to spray inside this time as we have started getting ants and want them to also spray for fleas). We shall wait and see what day we are told to come into the office.
