*Another* Beta today

I emailed our RE yesterday. I am now on something like Cycle day 38. Our Dr has this thing with letting me go longer than 5 weeks without AF showing up. So I emailed him. A nurse called me back and said he wants me to do another beta and then if it is Negative, I will do another round of Provera. I have some questions regarding this. If I took the trigger shot ( which makes me ovulate) then why on earth has AF not shown up yet? Did my trigger shot even work? Was last months IUI for nothing?

Today on lunch I will go do my beta, only knowing it will be Negative.

2WW and Results

Our 2 week wait went by fairly fast. During the last week though I began to get anxious and just wanted to take a test at home. I didn't tho.

On Dec. 29th we went to the Dr to have my blood taken for the Beta. We went shopping and all I could think about were the results. I finally called to get them and my hcg was at 1.

Onto cycle 2...

IUI day

It had already been decided that I would have the day off of work when I had IUI's done, so that was taken care of. The day of our IUI started as an early one. Caleb spent the night and went with us to the Sperm Bank to pick up our swimmers ( well they were frozen but swimmers none the less). We picked them up and off we went to drop them off at the Dr's. C took the cooler up and I stayed in the car with Caleb. She came down and we went to have lunch at my work.
     After lunch we dropped Caleb off at home and returned home. I was dead tired at this point and went to sleep around 1:45. C woke me up at about 2:15ish and we left.
     When we got to the Dr's office 3 ladies ( whom we have seen many times) were waiting for us. We were taken in the back and I did the usual, weight and blood pressure. I used the restroom before we went in for the procedure.
     The Dr we had for the IUI was the one that both C and I liked. So she prepped, I laid back and...it was over. I laid there for 10 mins and then we were gone...and onto the 2 week wait.

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
