Soooooooo Over Waiting.

I just want to let everyone know that this is a very long two weeks.  And I still have 7 days to go! Soooo, in seven days we get to find out if we are pregnant....then I get to wait 3 months to tell everyone....then I have to wait 9 months to meet the kid (if all goes well).  That is a lot of waiting, and I am sooooooooo over waiting. 

It is Thursday night and I have almost made it through the week.  That is a lot to say because as a teacher, the week before any vacation is a doosey!  But no fears!  

Let me catch you up since the last blog.  I ended the Femara on Saturday night.  For some reason I got terrible headaches from it, do not know if it was that or the kids, but I am going to assume it was the Femara (my students are fabulous).  On Wednesday morning (6:30 am and the dr. office is an hour away from home!!!) I had another ultra-sound to see how many mature follicules I had.  It also tells us when to take the Ovidrel shot.  Thank Jesus I had my second "good news" ultra-sound :)  I have three mature folliculues (a normal woman has one mature follicule a month, one on the left one month, and then on the right the next month).  I have two on the right ready and one on the left.  I think this is fabulous for I am not opposed, like my husband, for having twins....I just want whatever I can get, and that he/she are happy and healthy :)  Soooo, Wednesday night at 10:15pm I gave myself the Ovidrel shot (yikes....that was something for the books...not fun)...and tomorrow (Friday) I go into the Dr.'s at 10:30am and Kevin goes in at 8:30am...IUI here we come.  This is pretty much the same regiment we went through with the first pregnancy, so we are hoping for a positive result again.  That is where you come in.  Pray.  Please pray.  This is such an expensive, time consuming adventure that we are quick to want it to end.  We would rather spend the money on the kid, not making the kid :)   Again, thank you for your prayers and words of encouragement for they are often times priceless.  Have a very Merry Christmas and wonderfully Happy New Year.  I will update you in the new year!

God Bless You,

Sad News AGAIN!

Since my last blog....forever ago....I had ANOTHER D&C.  Yes, you do not need to re-read that.  I had another one.  For some reason, the first D&C did not get all the products of misconception out.  How did they know, you ask?  My HCG levels never went down to zero.  The lowest it got was 9.  Immediately after the second D&C, it went fast down to 2.9.  That was November 18th.  Then one week later, it was finally at ZERO!    Praise GOD!!!  Then 4 weeks later, last week, I got a real period!  Plus I got the green light to start a medicated cycle.  That means since Tuesday, I have been taking Femara.  This is a breast cancer drug that actually promotes mature follicles.  Then this Thursday, I am going to the Dr. for another ultra-sound (if I a dollar for every ultra-sound I would be rich), and if the follicles look mature I am going to have a shot called Ovidrel.  This makes the egg or eggs erupt from the follicle, and then 24 hours later, I have the IUI.  That is if everything goes according to plan.  That is my prayer request, that everything goes according to plan....this is exactly how I got pregnant last time.  Please pray that 1) I do get pregnant 2) I carry the baby to term and 3) the baby and me are healthy.  

Thanks again, and I promise to make the posts more frequent...although, I do not think anyone actually reads them~

Love and Blessings~
