Good Thoughts!

Good news!  My emotional roller coaster is currently up on the top of the hill! (And hopefully will be staying up this time.)  We had our second RE appointment today to discuss the results of my blood work and to plan our IUI.  I assumed that I wouldn't have any good looking follicles yet and that I'd have to come back for regular monitoring throughout the week and eventually do the trigger shot.

Well, surprise, surprise!  I had 2 follicles that looked great.  One was at 19 mm and one at 21 mm, they want to see somewhere between 18 and 22.  My lining also looked great so I got the prescription for the Ovidrel trigger shot and get to do it tonight.  That means that our IUI is planned for Wednesday morning!  I'm so excited and once again feeling very positive.  As I've said before, I really hope this is our month.  The hope is that by doing the IUI we will bypass many of the issues we've had that have been holding us back.

My first (and hopefully only) self administered Ovidrel Shot.  

On a completely different note.  I got really annoyed this afternoon at dismissal time when families were picking up our students.  One family was parked in front of the school waiting for someone.  They had the side door open to the van so I could see where they had a baby, maybe 6 months old, in a rear-facing infant car seat facing forward.  The seat looked so old that I'm sure by now the safety ratings on it are expired.  Then to add insult to injury the mom, in an attempt to get the baby to stop crying, handed her the tiny remnants of her sucker!  REALLY???!!!!  You gave your infant baby a sucker?  A sucker?

Ok... I'm going to stop there before this becomes a tirade.  If she can have a baby then I most certainly deserve to have a baby, too!
