Okay Okay, I know you've probably been wondering what's been happening with the whole baby topic. Well, we are back on track. Well sorta.....
Went to the Dr. yesterday for a Follicle test & obviously my body isn't doing what it's supposed to be doing. Sooooo (thanks mom) my Gonal-F shots have been up'd. It was sitting at 75mg, now it's at 112.5mg. Yay! Me!
I go back here in 2 days for another test. And if I'm Ovulating then I get the trigger shot. Hopefully but not holding my breath.
Last month we past our 2 year mark. I can't believe that it's taking so long. I know that we took multiple breaks but still. And yes, I know other people go much longer than 2 years. It's just frustrating.

Okay, we've hit a road bump for a while. Not sure for how long but at least a month. Technically we will be still trying, like if it happens, it happens, but we won't be using any Meds, to help. Dh is having issues with his migraines & we figured we would try to sort it out a little bit first before moving forward any further on TTC.
So until then, no updates for a while. Hope to be back soon.

Onto Cycle 14
Well 1st cycle with Injectables is a NO. Had 2 days of spotting, and of course had wishful thinking. Then this morning, AF came full force. Had a 24 day cycle, which is odd, because I haven't had that short of a cycle in a LONG time. I'm not going to say never because I'm sure in the past my body actually liked me.
I will be making a call in the morning to my nurse. Which she's probably gonna have me come in a pick up my second round.
Now we weren't able to do the IUI like planned, and we for the second round we won't be able to do it either. We want to try to do it will the Injectables for 2-3 cycles first, since it is stronger medication than the Clomid.

Injections & Trigger
Well went to the Dr. this morning at 6am & finally got to see my actual Dr. this time instead of nurses. Well did the ultrasound & saw my follicles, and they wanted me to schedule the IUI for Monday, but unfortunately we weren't able to afford it this month. It's not that fact we can't afford it at all, but not this month. It's not the IUI procedure, it's the sperm wash that's not covered by the insurance. Which I thought was weird. If this cycle isn't it, then we will look at it next time.
But I did bring home the Trigger Shot (HCG), Ovidrel, & the nurse will call me back to let me know when to take it. Since this is my first time dealing with shots, my best guess is to take it after my last shot?....I dunno we will see.
Did a little research tho, and apparently the rumors are that your supposed to Ov. within 36 hours of receiving the shot. So what will probably happen is I take the shot, then the next day take care of business. lol.
Info. I copied:
HCG helps in the follicle maturation process and triggers the release of mature eggs from the follicles.
HCG from the trigger shot can remain in your body for up to 14 days after you have received the injection. Your doctor may advise you to wait two weeks before taking a home pregnancy test.
Since hCG is produced by the body during pregnancy, the side effects of this drug are like those of early pregnancy. Nausea, breast tenderness, swelling and mild abdominal cramps are common side effects of the hCG trigger shot. The shot also may result in the release of more than one matured egg, which increases the risk of multiple births.

Cycle 13
So Monday I started Cycle 13. Boo! Called my Nurse and told her that I was ready for the next step. So she called me back later that day and asked me to come in on Wednesday (yesterday) & she'd help keep me started on shots. Sooooo......I went in yesterday and got my first FSH shot. Gonal-f, I have 12 days of it, where I give myself a needle into my stomach. This better work.
This Monday me & DH will be going in at 6am in the morning, why, no clue, but will be getting an ultrasound to see if I'm even ovulating, and if I am then we have the option of doing an IUI. Not sure how much we are going to have to pay for it, if we do at all, but will find that out on Monday.
Information on IUI's
I've already warned DH that if I start to get REALLY pissy with him, to not take it personally.

Okay so yesterday's little addition didn't give much information. I was in a hurry. So basically my nurse thought that since I've already have 2 rounds of unsuccessful Clomid that it would be time for an IUI with injections. But after my little visit this morning, I talked with her a bit and thought about the IUI vs. Clomid. So I decided to go with another round of Clomid, and if it's unsuccessful then we will go with the IUI.
So today, on cycle day 4, I started on Clomid. Yippee!
Well a little back track here, the blood test that I got done last week told me that I am Ovulating so the problem isn't that. And we already covered the sperm issue. So in the dark here. Probably cervical mucus. Which wouldn't surprise me much if that's the reason.
