Trigger

Trigger shot is done and DW gave it to me. Totally shocked that she did it! She is squimish as hell and hates getting needles, did not think she would actually be able to go through with it. So glad she did tho. I don't think I could have done it by myself. Yay bring on our 1st IUI tomorrow :)

CD14 - Big update

6:30 am clinic appt, sixth day in a row and looks like we're finally ready!!!! I am a bit concerned cause they told me to trigger tonight at 8 pm and come in tomorrow at 9 am for the iui. The nurse said if I don't hear from her tonight just to come in tomorrow am. So there is a chance she may call tonight to change iui day to Saturday depending on my bloodwork from today. My bloodwork came back with Estrogen at 1517.0, LH at 22.78 and Progesterone at 0.43.  No call yet so it looks like tomorrow is the day. I was really freaking out earlier about the timing, everything I have read suggests to iui 24-36hrs after the trigger.  But I got a second opinion from another nurse and advice and reassurance from some lovely ladies on Babycentre. I think the timing will be ok, right? After all it is their job to time everything for me, this is the reason I have been going every bloody day for monitoring, right? Yup! So I just have to relax, trust the professionals and my body, be positive and keep happy. 

CD 12&13

Back to the clinic I went. CD12 showed the follie is still 19mm. Lining is 8.something, E2 is 512, LH 8.09 and progesterone 0.35. Not sure if those number were good but I had to go back the next day for more monitoring. Joy! I did't even know which arm to give them. Both have been poked to death! CD13 showed a 20mm'er and the nurse said it all depended on my bloodwork now. I told the receptionist that they should have beds there for clients lol booked my 6:30 am appt for the next day and went on my merry way. The bloodwork later showed E2 is 793, LH 10.55 and progesterone 0.42. The nurse said this was good. 

CD11

Oh lord! I thought my vjay hurt yesterday, well after today yesterday's pain seems like nothing. Today that wand went this way and that way and up and down, twisting and turning and all I could do was grip my sweater, squeeze my eyes shut and try not to squeel.

On a more pleasent note I have a 19mm and a 14mm follie!! And my lining is 7.3 :) Back I go tomorrow for a full bladder scan and more blood work. I wonder if tomorrow will be trigger day? She's sitting in my fridge just waitin.

That's all for now :)

CD10 Update

CD10 shows 1-16mm and 1-12mm and a few other ones the nurse said are still growing. I have to go back tomorrow again!  And my poor vjay hurts, too much probing and my arm hurts too. Tomorrow I will be sure to have blood drawn from the other arm. 

After the torture I went for some brunch and then headed my massage appointment. The massage was great as always, so relaxing! I picked up some Thai Express for dinner, yum then DW and I did a little Christmas shopping, following that I treated myself to a bubble/epsom salts bath. I had candles lit and played some baby inspiring songs.

CD9 Update

Today is CD9 and I have a 16mm & a 10mm! During my investigative cycle I had two 10mm at this point. So I guess the Femera helped. Now I have to go everyday until they tell me to trigger. I wonder when that day will be!! I pray to ovulate on Thursday or Friday as my work schedule is rammed Monday-Wednesday this week. But baby comes first so if that means calling in sick on a rammed day, so be it! 

Hope every is having a good weekend! Sending positive vibes and baby dust to all!!

Femera update

Tonight I'm taking the last pill!!! It hasn't been too bad really. I had a huge headache on Monday and Tuesday but no symptoms since then. It was so funny on Sunday night when I was taking it, I text DW saying I took the first pill. She texts back "Down the hatch or up the snatch?' lmfao I was showing her all the meds earlier that day and was explaining how I have to put the progesterone up there. Haha She's hilarious! Going in for monitoring on Saturday CD9, hope some of these lil follies grew!
