Post Surgery Day # 3

Well, the diagnostic laproscopy went well according to Dr. S. The cyst that everyone was so concerned about was reabsorbed. Everything looks wonderful from the inside. I woke up, however, screaming and writhing in pain. After the morphein and dilaudid, they send me home. I left like something was stabbing me in the lower gut. To top that pain off, all of the excess gas that they couldn't remove, has ended up in my shoulders and neck. I have been in more pain the last few days that I can ever remember being in.

They took some nice pictures and on Wednesday, I will actually be told what I am looking at. Mom came down to help out for a few days and for that I am extremely greatful. Not that hubby isn't great at taking care of me, but the whole sergeant shouting orders at me thing just isn't very therapeutic all the time.

So I recover....

Strike 3

Took a test this morning and it was negative again. Really sad about this time. Hoping for October baby.
:-(
Wondering if GIFT is an option. Expensive. Don't really like the idea of laproscopy but...

Baby Attempt # 3

Well, we had some weird weather overnight. When I went to bed, it was flurrying. All night, the wind was whipping. Got up to put all 5 of the doggies (yes, Dot and Phoebe too) outside and it was 67 degrees.

the wind is still crazy and now we are expecting sever inches of rain. Welcome to the Delaware Valley! If you don't like the weather, wait a minute.

Off to have more bloodwork and another Ultrasound again. We should try tomorrow or Friday and keep our fingers crossed.

The doctor wants to do a laproscopy to see if I have endometriosis. I think he is out of his gourd. No symptoms, no family history...but the insurance will cover it!!!

Maybe the weather is a sign...... a wind of change.....

No Go For Baby Again

Well, no go again this month. I am starting to wonder if something is wrong with me and they just haven't found it yet.
Would like to try again this month but with the christmas holiday, I am not sure that the scheduling will work out.
Today is Dean's Birthday!
We got his his company Christmas party tonight.
Will try to keep my spirits up.

Black Friday

Well, I am off for yet another ultrasound and HCG injection. We go for the 2nd try tomorrow morning at 7:30. I have a better feeling about this month. The last ultrasound showed 4 eggs on the left and one big one on the right. Not looking forward to driving anywhere near the Willow Grove Mall. Then it is off to work immediately after the appointment.

keeping our fingers crossed.

My uterus on tv

Today is the ultrasound and FSH again and the joyful hysteroscopy.

more later...

Another Saturday

WEll, day # 2 of Clomid. Not as bad as last month. No hot and cold flashes. It is about 29 degrees outside, I could use a warm flash right now. Losing 35 pounds makes winter a little different this year. I have lost my thick layer of blubber and now get cold so easily.

Wednesday is another ultrasound and FSH. If I am ready to ovulate, they will give me the HCG again and then Black Friday will be try # 2. Also, having the wonderful hysteroscopy. Oh joy! My uterus on TV IN LIVING COLOR. There are just somethings that I do not need to see. More cramping, how fun.

Trying to stay calm and positive. Still have cold (3 weeks) and am hoping that it does not turn into bronchitis like it did in the spring.

Off to work......

It's a NO-GO this month...

woke up to discover that I am definately not pregnant this month. I had a feeling and I refuse to psych myself out with this ordeal. I have been a complete bitch and then the cruel fate of my face breaking out told the story. So, another round of ultrasounds, clomid, and the joys of a hyteroscopy and endometrial biospy await me this month. I am kind of bummed. I was veryhopeful that it would take since everything else went so smoothly. Maybe they just did it too early. I don't ever remember ovulating at day 10 in my cycle. They are the experts and I am not being fair to them by second guessign their abilities. They have done this a heck of a lot more than I have. patience. patience.

patience.

patience.

...sigh...

Hum Drum

Okay...I am not liking the WAITING game. I would just like to pee in a cup every morning until something happens. Woke up at 3 am for no reason. Supposed to go to Halloween Party tonight...Brilliant Costume......A "DEVIL"ed egg. Really cute. Not usre if I will even be awake for it. Truck is acting funny so I got up with Hubby to take him to work and drop the truck off to get looked at. Just what we need, another $600 repair bill for our 10 year old truck.

May go through some junk in the basement while Hubby is at work. Should go grocery shopping too. Although, it will be more for Dean than me. If I even smell food right now I fell like I am going to HONK everywhere. Someone actually told me that I looked GREEN when I was at work yesterday.

This should be fun....

The Big Day

Well, it went better than I thought. We arrived early...and waited, and waited, and waited. Finally got taken back where I was prepped. No doctor, just two nurses (younger than me). In 2 minutes it was done. Then you lay there for a few minutes....

Got crampy and lightheaded. Stayed that way until 3 in the afternoon. Finally felt like eating. Wen to bed early. Woke up ready to honk again.

They want to do and endometrial biopsy next Friday. Not too keen on that. Don't want to ruina good thing if it is happening.

Calling the Dr. jay today...

the baby deal

so, after a week of checking FSH levels, Clomid, Cipro, and ultrasounds, I went into Abington for my hystersalpinogram. Okay, this is like the worst cramp that you can imagine, doubled, and then lasting for 45 seconds. Not too fun, especially when you feel like passing out.

Heading in for my HCG shot and ultrasound to prpare for tomorrow, THE BIG DAY.

Getting tired of the commute back and forth to the Hospital.
