Changes

I don’t know if many of you have checked in the last few days, but I decided to change the layout of our webpage. Unfortunately, when I did that, I ended up accidentally preventing myself from being able to log in. (D’oh!)

So I had to have Darrell fix it for me (it’s so nice to have tech support in my own house :P).

Darrell did end up fixing it (as you can tell), and told me that he didn’t like the new layout. So I made him sit here with me and pick one we liked. It took us a little bit and a few changes, but we are happy (for the time being) with what we got

I hope that y’all like the new layout. Darrell changed his website as well (and added a link on the right hand side of the page) if you are so inclined to head over that way. Can’t always tell you what it will be on, but it’s there!

I hope everyone is enjoying their respective Thanksgivings. I know we are. We were not able to travel for this Thanksgiving as we are planning on traveling for Christmas. We decided to spend the day at home making our own small(-ish) meal and enjoying each other.

These are the things I am thankful for:

1.) My wonderful, loving, funny, caring, passionate husband.


2.) Our Family & Friends

3.) Our Cats – Zeddicus & Poleeko – who always seem to know when we need a good laugh.

4.) Science and our RE. – They are what make it possible for Darrell and I to do what we can to try to have a baby. Without them, we would be forced to adopt.

5.) I am also Thankful for everyday that I wake up and go to sleep. We might not like it here in Texas specifically, but we force ourselves to succeed so we will someday be able to move back. So I am thankful as each day comes because it means we are one day closer to our goal.

I hope you all have things you are thankful for. I hope that you express your thanks in many ways instead of just on this holiday.

Even the RE and the nurses are hopeful. We had a great stimulation.

We have 3 follicles that are mature. Possibly another 2 might make it, but highly doubtful.

Our sperm count today was 41 million! That is 2.5 times more than last time!

My hopes are up. RE’s hopes are up. Nurses hopes are up. Darrell still remains optimistic. 🙂

We now have the 2 week wait ahead of us. Luckily, we have a few things planned this weekend and then we have Thanksgiving next week. Plus my work has been really busy, so I have been working a ton!

We find out the results the day after my birthday. I am still trying to debate myself as to whether I want to do an hpt on my birthday to find out, or if I want to wait the extra 24 hours. Decisions, decisions.

I took my last shot of menopur last night. Of course, the last shot was the one that hurt the most huh?

Went in to Fort Worth this morning. We are good to go. The doc measured 3 follicles: 20, 18, 18. There were some others on the right side, but she doesn’t think they will ovulate.

So Trigger shot tonight. We go in for the IUI on Friday morning. Which means that we should know whether or not it works by Dec 2.

Fingers Crossed.

I drove to Ft. Worth this morning for my ultrasound. I had my fingers crossed that we would see some good numbers and things wouldn’t look hopeless for this cycle.

The appointment started about half an hour late. Seems to be a lot of women doing cycles right now. Gotta love the holidays!

I have 4 good sized follicles. 3 on the right measuring 14, 14, 13 and 1 on the left measuring 12. There are a lot of little ones around, but the RE only measures the larger ones. Which definitely makes the ultrasound nicer on the lady bits. 🙂

So we are looking at two more days of stimulation and then go back for another ultrasound on Wednesday. If the follicles continue to grow like they have been, the doc thinks we shall be triggering on Wednesday night and going in for the IUI on Friday morning.

Fingers crossed for Wednesday appointment!
