Cycle 4- CD 13 Positive OPK

I have to say I absolutely hate the way I feel after HCG injections, it makes me mean. I had been kind of grumpy all day yesterday but I kind of flipped out last night. I totally picked a fight with Gary about nothing at all. I feel bad this morning for being so petty. Luckily he is the best guy on the plant and realized that I was under the influence of HCG.

Since we have been first talking about me getting pregnant he has been adamant that he did not want to be in the delivery room when our baby is born. He finally told me last night he passed out when his daughter was born and that is the reason he doesn't want to be there. That was 26 year ago so it must have been really bad. I suppose all I can do it educate ourselves and if he is unable to be there for that moment I will have to figure something else out.

I finally seen a smiley face on a OPK today. I don't know if the HCG injection makes the OPK positive but it was nice to see it!

I'm feeling pretty confident this cycle. The timing just feels right this month. Gary and I are going on vacation to Branson, MO this Friday and I can't wait, we are both in desperate need for some time away. Gary has National Guard dills Friday night, Saturday and Sunday so I will have some time to go exploring that part of the state and have some "me" time. Saturday I am driving to Carthage, MO to visit the Precious Moments Chapel and then Sunday night we will drive to Branson.

Cycle 4-CD 12

Tonight at 10:00 I had to do my HCG injection. I was totally fretting giving it to myself & luckily my neighbor who is an RN was home and she gave it to me. This morning I took a OPK and it was negative.

Cycle 4-CD 11 Happy Halloween!

I had an ultrasound this morning to do a follicle check. I have one dominant follie that is 20 mm. Dr. Marshall and I discussed changing the timing of the IUI to 36 hours after the HCG injection so I will do the injection myself Saturday night giving it time to grow a little more before the injection. We will do the insemination around 10:00 a.m. on Monday.

Swimmers Arrived!

I have my swimmers delivered to my office instead of the doctors office purely for my own piece of mind. After the first month with Fed Ex not delivering on time I would rather know exactly when they are delivered rather than having to call the doctors office & bug them. I work in a small office so when they Fed-Ex lady comes someone always pipes off "Kim your boyfriends are here". It's not like you can have a cryo tank discretely delivered when it says Bio Shipper on the side of the box.

Messed up!

I totally messed up and started taking the Femara on cycle day two instead of three. I'm not stressing over it. Actually the pharmacy messed up and gave me seven tablets instead of five so I'm going to take it days 2-7, we will see what happens.

Cycle 4-CD 2

Today I had a baseline ultrasound to make sure that there aren't any left over follicles from last month. Everything looks good and I got my script for Femara 2.5 mg cycle day 3-7.

Cycle 3- CD 31 - I Really thought I was pregnant this month!

AF was two days late and I was really getting my hopes up, took a HPT and it was negative. AF finally showed up October 21st.
