Hot mess
Literally. I am having hot flashes like I am menopausal. That is not the worst part. The worst part is that I am completely mentally unstable from these meds. My husband deserves a medal. He is a saint. At one point this morning while screaming and bawling (FOR NO REASON WHAT SO EVER) I yelled at him that I can’t stand him…. WHAT??? Where the heck did that come from? He responded that...

So it is my first day back at work and have been thrown in at the deep end - the one show are coming in tomorrow to film - how exciting.
BUT - today it is not a good day - I have period pain and am bleeding - I guess that means that I have my period. GAME OVER.
I don’t know what to do or how to…
I am so sorry to hear this. Was hoping for a different outcome for you. I hope you are...
Hormones...
My ovaries HURT. Like seriously painful. Mix that with my hot flashes and I am pretty much the most awesome person to hang out with right now.
Perhaps that’s why G is in the living room watching American Idol with my mom. My own personal hell……. the American Idol…….not my mom people!
YAY
Got FSH level back and it is 4.7 - anything under 10 is good to go!
If it would have been higher we might have had to alter the course of this cycle but now we don’t.
I am so lame that I have calculated the number of days until we will know for sure if this worked.
You know you wanna know…. 25 days not counting today.
Since no one in my real life reads this, I will probably share...

pins and needles
Had an insanely short cycle this month. I am starting Clomid tonight. Going in for blood work and a baseline ultrasound today. Meet with our RE again on the 2nd, go in for the trigger shot next Thursday, then we have 48 hours to “make it happen” and we wait 14 days to find out if it worked.
I am going back for acupuncture the next 2 Fridays in a row so we will see how it goes.

Rough one..
This is one of those days where I feel like everything I knew is no longer what I thought. It has been tough.
I am going to go get a manicure on my lunch and heading out early for acupuncture so hopefully that will help my spirits.
Sometimes things just seem way too hard.
Additional assistance...
I have been holding off on going down the acupuncture route for a bit because I have a hard time buying into things like that. I have done enough research to warrant giving a shot as it definitely cannot hurt things.
There is an IVF center here that has a Acupuncture Center connected to it that also has infertility yoga (wha?? - please tell me if someone really believes that this would work or am...
Good news...I think? The Internet = bad
(I am blogging about our struggle to have a baby so yes, some of this stuff is TMI….just wanted to put that out there)
Got the results back on the Sperm Analysis…. This is the email I just got from G….
Motility is good. Total is 68%, progressive is 61% which is both above normal.
Count is good – 55.3 million; normal is 40 million
Morphology was low – 4% vs. 14% but could be...

Cheesy? YES but man, I need to keep reminding myself of this……

We were featured on a wedding blog awhile back and thought I would share… to all 3 people who may or may not read this. :)

Answers...
We have some.
1. Apparently my ovaries are on the smaller side and have borderline - just enough eggs, meaning at my age, there should be a lot more. I have old eggs. Nice.
2. I am having an HSG done today - augh, painful but the awesome doc gave me pain pills.
3. Did I mention I LOVE our doc?! Love! He was voted #1 RE in Chicago Magazines Best Doctors issue. He is really smart and direct. Like...
