Hello! Sorry that I have not been blogging every much. I have excuses though! This time of year for a teacher is really busy!! Anyways~ I will catch you up since the last blog:
May 16th got the dreaded period. Not such a good note…but on a better note Kevin and I did go to Carowinds. We had a great time. We got there right as the park opened up and then left a swift 3 hours later. We rode all the rides and had a great time ☺ Don’t I have a great husband ☺
May 19th! I went to the CMC Woman’s Institute Infertility Clinic and they did a vaginal ultrasound (I know too much information) and everything looked great (of course)…and they ran a whole bunch of blood work, which again was normal. Soo..the next set of directions was to take Femera and then come back in on the 26th.
May 26th! Femera was a walk in the park. Just had some minor stomach problems, but honestly that could have been from something I ate. Today was the day that I had another vaginal ultrasound. Results were that they found a minor cyst, but said that it was normal when producing lining of the uterus, and that I should not be alarmed. It was not really that big. I also had one follicle ready and that it was time for the ovradrel. They did mention that it was disappointing that I only had one follicle ready. I should have had more because I was on Femera. But, they said that one was all they needed so the ovradrel was good to go. Ovradel is an HcG shot that makes the mature follicle push out an egg…thus makes me ovulate. This is a self-injected shot. Thank you JESUS and I really do mean thank you JESUS, that I was able to get it at the Dr. office during the visit. If not, Kevin or I would have had to give me the shot in the tummy. Not good. So I was totally overjoyed when the nurse said that she was going to give it to me ☺ Praise Jesus! The shot was not that bad, I took in standing up. Maybe all those acupuncture appointments helped me with my fear of shots. Anyways~ the next set of directions was to come back tomorrow. Kevin at 8:30 for the semen analysis and wash, and me at 10:30 for the IUI.
May 27th! IUI day. Kevin was such a trooper and did what he was supposed to do. His end went fine and now I had to go in at 10:30. Kevin checked out great, they explained the IUI, and then it was time for me to lie down. The whole this was very similar to pap smear, so it really was no biggie…just sad. My journey had lead me to getting pregnant, not by making love, but by a turkey bester…lol…our God for sure had a personality ☺ The nurse told me that I should not take a pregnancies test until day 12-14 after the IUI, because the ovradrel might give it a false positive.
May 27th-June 8th! Waiting. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting.
June 8th! Day 13 and I took a home pregnancy test. POSITIVE! POSITIVE! I have never in the two years of this got a positive test! PRASIE JESUS! THANK YOU GOD. However, this might be a result of the shot, so we will retest tomorrow ☺
June 9th! POSITIVE POSITIVE POSITIVE!! I cannot wait. I called the doctor and she said to come in tomorrow for the pg blood test…….I am so nervous!
June 10th! Get there at 7 am and they said that they would call before lunch with the results. I was so nervous, I had diarrhea the whole day!! 1:45 she calls (that is soooo NOT lunch time) and it is POSITIVE! I am for sure pregnant and she said that my levels were good. 118. Great. Just got to know what that means! She also gave directions to come in on the 12th for another blood test to be for sure.
AND HERE WE ARE TOMORROW IS JUNE 12TH. WILL BLOG WHEN I GET BACK. I AM NOW ON SUMMER BREAK SO I SHOUD BE MUCH BETTER AT BLOGGING.
Lots of love and blessings and keep the prayers coming! Praise God.
