HSG
When I called the RE on Monday to schedule my HSG she told me that as long as I was not having a heavy flow on the day of my HSG they would do it.
So C and I go in yesterday and I go to have it done. The Dr. who did the procedure did not explain any thing to me, I had no idea what was going on and when I asked the nurse she said " He is getting you ready", They then called in another Dr to take the x-rays and I was still not informed of what or when they were doing. They injected the dye without telling me and I flinched from the cramping. The catheter came out at the Dr said we would need to reschedule because there was still blood in my uterus. After I get off of the table the Dr looks at me and says " Well i hope you didn't pay to much for this" to which I reply " yes I did, it was almost $200!" I got a refund at the end. DW and i talked on the way home and she expressed that she was unsure as to why I needed one done in the first place. We read that HSG's are usually a common things for women undergoing fertility treatment to rule out complication in the uterus and tubes or women who have had miscarriages. We personally dont feel that it is necessary for us at this time and e-mailed our Dr last night.
When our Dr emailed back he said that it was not necessary and that we could speak more at our follow up apt.
I am relieved at this point but still know that it may be looming again in the future..and it hurt!

Jordan Baby
After arriving home from our trip we gathered our clothes and such and went to the in-laws house to spend the night. Before we get there I asked C “ Do you care if your parents know we are going to try for baby?” She says “ It doesn’t really mater to me who knows, I know you hate it when I say that but I don’t really”, So when we go to their house, we told them. Uneventfully and right out of the car I tell my MIL “ C is scared to tell you that we are going to have a baby, I mean not now but we are going to try for one in Jan.” She was shocked but that was the end of that. I think there are a lot of questions people in our family about how we will go about getting our little bundle of joy but they are scared to ask.
Back to today. So C is gone with her brother and im here at home, no one is here and its quiet. So I read and finished my book FINALLY!
1 more to finnish and 2 more to go through and take important info out of..
Tomorrow is my HSG. The women at the RE office told me that they will not perform it if I have a heavy flow but if im spotting they will. So I have to wait a few more hours to decide if im going to take the medicine I need to for tomorrow, I should just call the RE office. I don’t want to reschedule it but im afraid I will have to….grrr

The sum of our life
Lets see where to begin....
I finally scheduled my HSG for this upcoming Monday. I had to go today to take a pregnancy test (I wish I was!) and then Monday afternoon we go in. Im sad that C cant go in with me for the HSG but Im sure I will make it through just fine. I told C that after Monday I will call the RE to make our next apt. with our fertility DR. to see what steps are next. C is not all that into the DR apts and the lab work and could care less about it all and honestly, so could I.
We have yet to send in our paper work for the SB. Im not procrastinating I just cant seem to find a fax machine that works, then again im not trying that hard. We are in no real rush yet to send in the paper work just yet. I suppose after the DR. tells us what will happen next, we will have more of an idea as to when we should be sending the paper work in and deciding on donors.
After posting on thenest.com we talked about buying 3 vials from one donor. If after 3 months we are not pregnant from that donor, we will switch donors. Which will ease up on the savings before the New Year. Our initial plan for baby was to save 4-5,000 to spend on all the vials we would need, I didn’t think about what would happen if we needed or wanted to switch donors. Today when I told C about it she said “ didn’t I say that in the beginning?” She is ultimately always right!
We are so excited to start trying for baby and can hardly wait to find out what next steps are needed.
Guess who else caught baby fever? C’s sister. My SIL currently has one son whom C and I love very much. C spent most of the first 2 years of his life with him and we see him many times a week, he’s an awesome little guy (You got ants up your nose bay-bay?”) Anyway, my SIL and her husband said they are going to start trying for a new baby about the same time we are…
As for the 8 pounds I need to loose..Im not sure how Im doing. We don’t have a scale but I have been watching what I eat and have been drinking lots of water. Taking the stairs only etc etc, Small steps. I really need to use the gym at work, but using the gym at night means more time away from C and I hate that! We will figure something out..
O Baby, while your not even conceived yet we hope you know how much you are wanted and will be loved. Please find your way to us...
