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.

The results:

Negative 🙁

My plan for the rest of the day: Ice cream and In Plain Sight episodes.

Going off pills and prepping for Round 2.

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.

I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July. I know that we did.

We were invited to our neighbors party and so we hung out there most of the day.

Around 6:30 cst, my mom texted me to say that they were heading to the hospital because my baby sister was in labor. At 10pm cst, another text saying that she was at 7 and just chilling out. At 11 cst, she is at 9.5 and her water broke. Should be soon. I stayed up and was hanging out even though I should have been in bed since I had to be at work at 8. :/

Finally couldn’t stay awake, so I went to bed. Put the phone on silent and went to sleep. Couldn’t sleep very well (but I haven’t been sleeping well for the last week), so I didn’t get to sleep until around 2.

Hazel Ayn was born at 11:06 pst July 4th coming in at 8lbs 9 oz and 21 inches long.

Congratulations to my beautiful baby sister on her beautiful baby girl!
