Well I have to start off by saying that it has been quite a week for both Doug and myself.
We had our first appointment on Tuesday...which was already day13 this is the day we did the procedure the last month. We went in for our baseline app and the results were that the ovaries were almost there but not quite. So what I have learned from this is my one ovary is very ahead in schedule compared to the other ovary. We were told to come in the next day to see where things were at by then. We also learned that my uterine lining is looking better than what it did last month..but I am still to take the uterine lining pills to assist the thickness for the egg to attach better.
Wednesday we went in for yet again another ultrasound and the doctor had decided to wait some more. "We could do it tomorrow, but i would rather wait until Friday due to their will be a chance of you have to follicles ready". So we went on our way..booked our appointment for Friday morning and took our orange plastic cup with us for the deposit.
Thursday Night I ended up giving my self the HCG shot in my stomach...all alone. I do not like needles at all..but it had to be done. It hurt a little..I felt all tingly later on..and was waiting for the awful side effects of the headaches. After bringing the injection with us to the doctors all week...I was kinda bummed that I had to inject myself. I have a whole new respect for insulin diabetics.
Friday Feb 11, 2011. Today was the date of our second IUI. Our appointment was at 11:15...we came around 11...dropped off our liquid gold..as Doug calls it..and waited in the room. We got called in around 12pm and went into the room with the eggs picture once again. This time it was a bit different..we knew what to expect. The doctor handed the catheter to Doug full of his liquid gold and told him to hold it but do not press the button. He used the same tools and light and the room was kinda cool...but we knew what to expect..except for the cough. After the old metal heated duck lips were in...I was asked to cough to open up my cervix. Last time he did not ask me to do this...I am kinda curious on if that is why it did not work last time..not to mention we only had one egg he was working with,...and now we have the better possibility of 2.
We were told to lay there for 10 Min's..last time we had it done..the secretary let us know when the time was done...we waited and waited and thought we should have gotten up by then..thinking maybe they had forgotten about us. Finally the doctor came back in and says " You realize it has been way past 10 Min's". We explained last time we were told when to get up....so we just assumed that is the protocol. We came out got our prescription slips for the progesterone suppositories and metformin.
He then informed us that he will be away for 2 weeks when we should be testing and getting a result. So we were also given a beta hcg blood test form form the Secretary and let him know that last time my cycle came way later than when it normally did and he had forced it. He said that it was very odd and we would have to look into that if it happens again. We paid the secretary and went on our way.
Hopefully the cough helped...and we have a better chance of getting pregnant with two eggs. Thinking baby dust...lots of it..today could be the day we created new life...Doug..me and the doctor. lmao.
If you read this blog from the very first post it will show you all the ins and outs and obstacles my husband took to conceive our world our family.It will take you through our pregnancy's and how we are doing month to month..updates on our children. Hopefully this will help others learn there is hope and other people out there with similar issues in trying to conceive.

New Month New Start
We finally got ahold of the doctors office last wednesday..we booked an appointment for Tuesday the 8ths of Febuary at 3:15. Despite it being 2 days past the time frame in which we are supposed to see him for our baseline appointment...lets just hope that all goes well.
The day we are doing the baseline appointment just happens to be the day he did the IUI on last month after he had forced me to ovulate with the injection the night before. So we are kinda hoping we did not miss anything that is happening somewhat naturally on its own right about now. My body sometimes feels so unpredictable in these circumstances and I don't know what to do. We are as you would say going with the flow..or flying by the seat of our pants.
Now I am assuming since he forced us to ovulate faster that we should all be fine..but I guess I have to wait and see what will happen tomorrow. I will be sure to update what will be happening. Doug and I are assuming that we will be going in the next day for the procedure. I had to work the work schedule ahead of time before i even knew I had any appointments and at what time. Right now is a very hectate time in our lives already...due to lots of drama..extra people in our house..and he just happens to be a wee bit stressed (not that he would admit to it) with work and all of the traveling he will be doing quite soon.
Rest assurred I was informed by yours truly (DOUG) that what we are doing with our life situation is way more a priority than the traveling for work. Considering we have been doing this together for 2 1/2 years already...I was glad to hear him tell me that. Now we just have to hope that everything else is that understanding.
As for tomorrow we go for our appointment at 3:15pm..with an open mind...and injection in hand..due to I am certainly not giving it to myself...and possitive thinking. I am just glad we both know what to kind of expect this time. We are not walking blindly as you would say.
On a bright note...totally off topic..my brother and his now fiance jen just got engaged last night...So am super excited about that. I am secretly hoping this means good things to come for everyone in the month of February. After all this is the only month I have ever been pregnant in..maybe this is our month. Smiles!
I am thinking possitive...going to take some extra methods to stay calm...already emailed my reflexologist..and wishing to bring lots of baby dust...!
Now for all of you whom do not really understand just maybe how hard it is to conceive for others or the trouble ect they go through. When you are on sights that have forums ect for ppl who are having trouble wish others babydust.
Well baby dust is used when someone is ttc a child it’s kind of like sending them good luck. Instead of sending luck u send Baby Dust it’s just a cute term to tell ppl you wish you could help or understand where their comming from.
Here goes nothing!
