Busy Week and Bad News....

Sorry it has taken me so long to post but this week has been so busy. I'm thankful for that though because it has kept my mind off of things. First of all, af showed up on her own Thursday! SO SAD! So I went ahead and scheduled my base line ultrasound for Friday so we could go ahead and get the new cycle started. Well, the ultrasound showed that I had 3 BIG cysts on my ovaries which knocks us out of trying this month. I thought i would be devastated but actually I think I'm getting use to the negative tests. Sad, I know, but I am thankful that af showed up instead of having to wait anxiously on a phone call for the bad news. I keep telling myself that it will all happen in God's perfect timing! And i know it will.

On a happy note, DH had another SA done because it had been over a year since his last test and it came back ABOVE normal. Yea he had the "big head" all day bragging to me about his "Super Sperm"! Men are so proud. His numbers were 106 million with 65% motility. They say that average numbers should be above 30 million and 40% motility. So yay for some kind of good news.

On Saturday DH and I decided to go to a state park near us and take some pics using my new camera. We had so much fun spending the day together. He is such a sweetheart. My computer is not cooperating so i will have to post those pics later.

DH and I talked about our plans about having to take a break from the ART program and we decided to wait until after the first of the year to go back. I am going to attempt to lose some weight and hope that helps things along. Until next time!

Pregesterone Check....

I went for my progesterone check yesterday and got GREAT results. They usually say that they like your numbers to be over 15 to show that you have a great ovulation. Well mine were OVER 40!!!! YAY! They didn't tell me an exact number, just over 40. She said that means I had a GREAT ovulation. Although this doesn't mean anything else (like im pregnant) it is still good news. Keep your fingers crossed!!!!!! Next Friday is my blood pregnancy test!

IUI #1....Swim little guys SWIM!!!!

We went to the doctor Sunday but our ultrasound showed that our follicles were not mature yet. They said to do our shots for one more night and come back for another ultrasound the next day. Well about 2 hours later they called back with my bloodwork and said that my E2 levels were 1400 which was great so they wanted me to "coast" and not do my shots Sunday night and still come in for another ultrasound Monday. Well Mondays ultrasound went great. We had 4 mature follicles, 1 almost mature, and several smaller ones. The 4 mature measured 20, 19, 17, and 17. They said that the two 17's would me mature to 18 by the time i ovulate. Then our nearly mature egg was 16mm and the smaller ones were about 13 and lower.

So Dustin gave me m trigger shot Monday night and I had my IUI today (Wednesday). It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Didn't hurt a bit and only took like 5 minutes. I had to lay there with a pillow under my hips for 15 minutes and I was good to go. Now I'm just praying that God blesses us with a miracle! PLEASE....Cross your fingers and say a little pray for us!
