So... the last cycle was a bust, again. Sigh. As of this post, I'm on cycle day 1. I head to my baseline ultrasound on cycle day 3, and if everything looks good, we keep moving forward. Last cycle was stressful. My ovaries were being slow moving jerks. Steve and I got the flu. We … Continue reading Try Again You Must

Shots! Shots! Shots! (Updated)
Trigger shot today. Second one I’ve ever given myself. Third shot I’ve had this month. Video Below! Hope this works. Excuse the stomach in the pic.

Review (You can read in more detail on the following posts: Midpoint Mania and Update Time): First, it was the weird beginning of my cycle (what I thought was the start … Continue reading Third Time’s a What Now?
Update Time
I was able to go to round 2 of my Midpoint Ultrasound on Thursday. No fever for over 24 hours. I just felt super run-down and tired, but I powered through so that I had a chance of an IUI this month. (When I got home over an hour later, I was exhausted, coughing, and … Continue reading Update Time
Midpoint Mania
I woke up Monday, January 22nd, with a cough. It was one of those coughs that felt heavy in your chest. I ignored it because I felt okay, woke Steve up, and headed to Atlanta for my Midpoint Ultrasound. Traffic was great, and we got there early. Steve and I were led back to the … Continue reading Midpoint Mania

The second part is just stressed because I have to be out of the classroom for a day or so to deal with this. (Teacher problems...) The other part … Continue reading Hope and Disappointment

Reset the Clock
**Note: I know it is several days past my testing date, but I had to process everything before posting.*** My first IUI failed. Dammit. I knew that there was only a 20% chance of it working, but Steve and I really hoped we would be making a Christmas announcement. On Wednesday morning, I cried from … Continue reading Reset the Clock
