Sooo......
I'm gonna get my head outta my ass and write in here more often...for real this time..lol. I am thinking of making this into a TTC journal, along with being just a regular journal. I took off my friends only, so pretty much everyone can see this. Not sure if it was such a good idea, but ya know what...fuck it. I don't care anymore.
My third IUI didn't work. I was disappointed. I really thought it worked, My chart was BEAUTIFUL, and then...BFN. Goes to show, just cause something looks good...doesn't always mean it is. So I had an appt with Dr. Erb on Thursday the 24th. After a physicans assistant came in to talk to us, I felt so bad...he was just a kid...and a guy at that. Asking me all kinds of questions about my cycles and about my acne and everything...I felt bad for him...lol. He left and Dr. Erb came in and said "Good news, I have a gameplan for you guys". At those words, I was excited. She proceeds to tell me that we are gonna do clomid, with an ovidrel trigger and then the IUI. She said she was comfortable doing up to 6 cycles of that if we wanted and hopefully I'd get pregnant in that time. Then she starts talking about side effects and the risks of taking it. I already knew all of that stuff, I had taken it before. Then she starts talking about "Well people with PCOS can end up with OHSS. I was confused. I didn't think I had PCOS. Turns out, she thinks I do now because my u/s last cycle to check for follicle growth showed that my left ovary was completely covered in about 100 small follicles, while my right one had 1 follicle. All the extra follicles is a sign of having PCOS. So is the acne I have...and then weight I can't seem to get rid of....and the excessive hair I have. Soo...I guess I have PCOS, eventhough my bloodwork is normal....I guess I have the "string of peals" on my ovaries...or atleast my left one. Explains alot I guess. Even if I don't have PCOS, she is treating me like I do, so hey, whatever works.
I have to have a sonohystogram done next cycle because she thinks that my polyp may have grown back and if it did that can be why the IUIs didn't work. I hope to god it didn't grow back, because I don't want to have surgery again. That will put us back atleast another cycle and I am sick of waiting. So our clomid cycles should begin in June, as long as everything goes okay. Dust is excited, he gets to give me the trigger shot. I've never seen anyone so excited to stab their wife with a needle before. Its very strange. But thats my husband for ya.
So thats that, and I am really excited to start medicated cycles. I know I will probably be totally miserable, fertility drugs make me a very not nice person, but I want a baby...so I'll deal with it. I just counted, and if my cycles are the way they have been for months, my first medicated IUI will be almost in the way of our vacation. I should ovulate on th drugs like I usually do I think, but I'll be in the 2ww while we are in Nags Head vacationing. Maybe thats a good thing, a whole week of not stressing out. Wow, that kinda works out perfectly. But I know I'll stress, thats just the way I am.
Well i bad better do something around this house sometime today. It needs cleaned, and I just don't feel like doing it....blah
