Bad Blogger-Baseline Scans

So in the last post I said that we had our first baseline scan scheduled-here is how it went

CD 3 1st Baseline Scan

     Despite bleeding and thinking it was well gross, the baseline scan went well. No cysts and my lining was thick and to the dr's liking. She had said in thebegining that if everything looked okay we would start the Clomid and Metformin. She didn't really say when she was done that we could start the meds or not she just said to meet her in the hallway when I was doe getting dressed. To our surprise she said to start both the Clomid and Metformin that day! We were elated! We also scheduled a follow up baseline scan on CD 12 to see how things were going.

CD 12- 2nd Baseline Scan

     The Dr whom we saw for our first scan was not the same one that we had for our second. The Dr we saw I hated. He basically said nothing was growing and that was it. He scheduled ANOTHER follow up Baseline 5 days later on Monday and we were off.

 The whole 5 days I prayed that something, any thing was happening

CD 17-3rd and final Baseline Scan

     3 days after the last baseline DW gave me an early x mas present. It was a beautiful star necklace, I wore it hoping it would be our good luck charm. The day of our 3rd baseline scan I set my self up for failure. I told myself and DW that this would not be our month to start and we would again have to wait. In comes the Dr ( the one I like this time) and we get to it. She looks at my right ovary which is easier to find and doesn't see any thing ( strike 1). So she moves onto my left and hidden ovary, she searches for about 5 mins to find it and BAM there it is. She measures and says that it looks really good. At this point she did not say how big it was but only asked if I brought my trigger shot with me. Really?! I tell her yes and then she asks " Can you pick up your sperm today or tomorrow? We are going to schedule your IUI for tomorrow. What?! Really?! Holy crap! DW gets her phone out ad stumbles to find the phone number to the Sperm Bank. The Dr leaves and says to meet her in the hall way. I call the Sperm Bank and set an apt to pick up our sperm the next morning. I also find out the follie was 27 almost 28mm.

I wanted her here but man

We waited and waited and waited for AF to arrive and now that she's here its a bummer. Im not sure if it was the Provera or what but I have had such bad cramps the last few days, it wakes me up at night. So i went and bought Midol today ( now that I think of it i havnt taken any...whoops!) C is helping my FIL put in a new kitchen so we are staying here tonight.

I called the RE yesterday to tell them that my cycle had started and we scheduled a Baseline Scan for Monday at 3:40pm. So I will be off work at 2:30 and C and I will be on our way to the DR. I hope it all goes well so that the DR will put me on my meds and we can be on our way to TTC #1!!!

She's here..

AF showed up this evening, Thanksgiving of all days. We were getting ready for our second dinner at our house and there she was. Light still ( began about 2 hours ago) and the bad thing is that we are going shopping tonight! The first day of every cycle is possibly the start of a pregnancy...we will see

Popping Pills

I couldn't think of a better name for this post, anyway. This month is the start of our TTC so we waited for AF and waited and then I could not wait any longer. I emailed our RE and told him the trouble, I was sent for a Pregnancy Test ( which we all knew was negative) and then was put on Provera for 10 days. Im hoping that AF shows...

More waiting

OMG OMG OMG

So the first 2 vials are ordered!!!!!

Its so close!!!!!!!!

Sperm Shortage

So I was looking over the Semen order form from our SB the other day and noticed that it said that they advise you to call one month in advance to make sure that your donor is still available and all that jazz. I didn't really think any thing of it but decided yesterday to give them a call. So i call them up and they are always so nice and asked about our D and the women said " hold on let me check" she comes back and says " He has 4 vials available, 2 washed (which is what we need) and 2 raw (that just sounds gross). I told her our situation and she then explained that he will be going in for a blood test (procedure) and once his blood is cleared again he can then come in to "release" but that he wont have any more washed vials but these 2 until December. That's to late for us! We need those 2 now! So lucky us we have lots of money saved and on Friday we will be buying our first 2 vials of D's hopefully strong swimmers.

On the other hand the Semen Order Form has to have my RE's signature. So now we are scrambling to get him to sign it and get it back to us by tomorrow so that we can pay for these 2 before someone snatches them up! I have faith that no one will but also wonder what we will do if there is. I suppose we could always buy the 2 raw vials and have them washed at the RE office.

Its always something in the land o' baby makin

Good Times

A few weeks back, C, her 3 year old nephew and I were browsing through Pottery Barn Kids when we came across this book..

Its filled with lists of what you will NEED before the baby comes. It has suggestions of how many to buy ( like washcloths, onsies etc). It has price ranges for things like strollers etc. We both loved it but didn't buy it. So yesterday we had to go to the mall to get C a new iPod and we stopped in Pottery Barn Kids to buy the book! Then to top it off, that morning before we had left my mom had come home from a garage sale across the street. She came in and said " I found you something you might like". It was What to Expect when your expecting and The EVERYTHING pregnancy book ( I think thats what its called) Any way she bought them both for 50 cents! I thanked her and told her that that was a wonderful price, being that just one book is like 15 dollars at the store!

Plus, On Friday night I found out that the company I work for is giving us a bonus of 1k! The money comes at an amazing time and helps alot!
