It Gets Better!!

This week continues to move in an upwards direction! We got a call last night from my sister telling us that she's ENGAGED!! How exciting is that?!?

I now totally feel like we're getting old. This is the same younger sister who I used to play circus and synchronized swimmers with in the basement, get her to do things for me by telling her I was timing her to see how fast it would take for her to get me a drink from the fridge and the one who I would totally freak out by turning off all the lights, sneak into her room and make loud breathing noises until she screamed.

Amy and I are both so happy for her and of course for her fiance too. Poor guy is coming into a family full of women. So you know he has to be pretty amazing to deal with something like us.


This picture was taken at our wedding. Next picture will be taken at theirs!

Done and Done

So now we wait. IUI #1 and #2 are complete. I really think our luck is turning around so I hope it carries us through the next two weeks.

1. Amy's company is paying for 100% of the cost to fix her car

2. We don't need a new roof but a friend of a friend said he could fix it for half the price we were quoted from another company.

3. I lost my key in Garden Ridge yesterday and found it again. It was seriously a needle in a haystack situation. I thought I was on an episode of the Amazing Race where my "Road Block" was to search through all the silk flowers in the store and find my key. I still can't believe I actually found it.

So now all I have to do is keep my mind busy. So far I'm going to go see Heather Armstrong (aka Dooce) at a book signing tonight, I'm going to make a bag so I have a place to put my keys when I go into stores and we have a wedding to go to this weekend. Then there is LOST tonight so I think I'm good for this week. Better start planning activities for next week ASAP.

Trigger Tonight

The doctor was VERY impressed with my body's reaction to the Follistim. We trigger tonight and do IUI#1 tomorrow and IUI#2 on Wednesday. Another twist to this cycle is the addition of progesterone, guess we'll see how that goes.

CD6: 100IU
CD7: 50IU

Things Are Moving Along Quickly

Had our scan today (CD6) and have been inundated with information that I'm still trying to weed through. In summary:

Follistim:
CD3-5: 150IU
CD6: 100IU
CD7: 50IU

Estradiol(E2):
CD6: 466

Endo Lining:
CD6: 8.3mm

Follicles:
Right side: 2-14mm, 2-11mm, 2-10mm and 9mm
Left side: 13mm, 11mm and 10mm

We go in again for another scan Monday morning. That's the good news. Now for the bad news. This has been a heinous week. Not only did 1/4 of our roof shingles blow off our house on Tuesday but on Friday I dented/scraped Amy's passenger side door of her car (not going to lie it's pretty bad).

We've been told by a previous adjuster that our roof is crap so we're hoping that this adjuster tells us we need a whole new roof instead of just a patch job(which will get covered under insurance) and since Amy's car is a company car we're hoping any out-of-pocket expenses we are responsible for are minimal.

I'm hoping this is the universe's way of dumping loads of crap on us so that we can be extra happy when the good news comes later this month in the form of a BFP :)

In Hiding

I feel so pathetic right now. My boss brought his 3month old into the office for everyone to naturally ooohh and aaah over. I went over and did the polite quick visit and threw in a "beautiful baby" comment and have since high tailed it to the other side of the office where I can't see or hear the baby. A place that is safe from the pregnancy and children discussions that all the moms on the other side are having.

I'm in a phase right now where it is physically and emotionally to difficult to be around babies. I've skirted every opportunity of being in their presence. I notice that I go through these phases. At times I can't get enough of being able to visit and play with other people's babies and other times I can't run away from them fast enough.

Hopefully this ends soon cause I hate making excuses and hiding from people. *sigh*
