Quick Update

Just a quick update to say that we got our IVF orientation date for February 3rd. So I get to drive up to DC by myself and try and find a parking spot. I've been told that parking is hell right around Walter Reed, eep.

I'm nervous and excited for it. Just one step closed to actually doing the IVF. So far we're looking at cycling in in April. I only have to get the saline sono done (needs to be done between CD 5 and 12 so next cycle) and Jeff needs to do their in depth SA. But they said it was OK for him to do it in March since he's not home right now.

We're moving in a little over a month. I think we've *hopefully* found a place to live, we're just waiting to hear back from the realtor about it. It's really nice though.. I'll share some pics once we hear word..

Well thats it, nothing much is going on over here.

Just need to get some things out....

AF showed today.. I mean I knew I wasn't pregnant, the test was negative. But still, I'm so freaking bummed about it. I really don't know how much longer I can do this.. how much more I can go through.. how much more I can put myself through... This month marks month 15.. Seriously..it's not supposed to be this hard to get pregnant.. You shouldn't have to inject yourself with drugs and use artificial insemination. It should be natural. I'm so sad that I can't just have sex with my husband.

I'm so tired of everyone around me in real life and online getting pregnant so easily. It's not fair. Why do we have to go through all this? What the fuck did we do wrong? Are we not meant to have children together? It breaks my heart that we can't seem to get pregnant. It's so unfair.

I hate that we have to resort to IVF in order for us to have a baby. I hate that we have to wait so long to do the IVF. We've been waiting long enough. I hate this.

Another one..

Well I tested yesterday at 12DPIUI.. of course it was negative. I don't know why I let my hopes get up, I just felt sooo pregnant (I've been before I know what it feels like). The test completely broke my heart, I cried for awhile. To top it off, I had to bring Jeff to the airport yesterday so he could go back to Florida.. not really what I wanted to happen on that day.

That was our last shot before having to do IVF and that won't happen until March/April at the earliest. Walter Reed has a wait list so it could potentially be September before we cycle in. I still have to get some blood work done (CD 3 labs), a pap smear and physical done. O and Jeff has some more blood work to do as well. Once I get those results I have to fax them up there, then we'll officially get accepted into the program and get our orientation dates. I'm hoping to do the saline sonogram at Portsmouth and do the orientation up at Walter Reed in one day w/o Jeff. The only thing I'm concerned about is Jeff has to do a SA for them... hopefully they'll waive it since he's in Florida at the moment and he's already done 3. I'm really hoping that we'll be able to cycle in right after we move up to Fort Meade, that way (if it works) we'll be do in December! I really don't want to wait until 2010 to have a baby. I'm so ready now.

2nd IUI

Well we had our second IUI today.

Jeff did his sample at home and then we rushed over to the RE's office, dropped it off and then went to Target. We went back to the doc's office an hour later and finally get called back to do our procedure..

Are you ready for this??

His count was 950,000!!!! I know that's not really that high, but for us thats really really good so I'm extremely happy. It was almost triple what it was last time (357,000), so that means the Clomid is really actually working!!

We both have our fingers crossed that at least one of my eggs gets fertilized, what an awesome Christmas gift that would be :0). I'll be testing on January 4th, I'll be 12DPIUI and it's also when Jeff leaves to go back to Florida. Hopefully I have some good news for him. :0)

O, our IVF packet came in the mail the other day, what a lot of paperwork!! All that's left is to get the rest of my bloodwork results back, get a physical/pap done and also get Jeff's blood work. Then we fax that all up there and get officially accepted. Once that happens we'll get an orientation date. I really hope the IUI works and we won't need to do the IVF, but its really nice to have that as a backup.
