Egg Retrieval Day

It's was a great morning. We got to sleep in have some pillow talk with ms brinley in our bed.

Call me crazy but I had time it all out.

It was a good morning, everything got done perfectly and I had a great time relaxing at the surgery center. 

It's hard not to have a good time when you are getting perfect pictures of your daughter back at home like this....

Here we are right before they are wheeling me in. After they gave me the good drugs to relax me and then when I went in the room they put me out before I could remember a thing.

When I woke up from recovery I remember looking at a clock. A few days earlier I remember them telling me that I would have until about noon to wake up and so I was watching the clock because I just wanted to lay there and sleep.
By the time noon came around I was fully awake and knew they would sent me on my way. We got in the car and came home. When I got home I went right back to sleep and rested the rest of the afternoon.
Earlier in the day (when I was fasting) I was dreaming about sushi, so I told Joe if I feel up to it I wanted to go out for Sushi that night.
He got Brinley in bed for me at 7pm and we were out for dinner by 7:30. I stayed out way to late, but it was worth all you can eat sushi!!!
It was a good, easy day for an egg retrieval.

Let the waiting begin...

I've done all I can do...now I will just sit here and wait!

Well, It's always so easy to update the blog after 2 days of IUI because I personally like to come straight home from the Dr. office and lay down as much of the day as I can, relax and help the miracle of IUI take place.
We had great outcome this cycle with the medication, ultrasounds look great, and high five to the husband who did his part and it was great numbers and all. I'm very pleased with this round and I want to say this did the trick...I will say that if it didn't take this round...I don't think anything else will do it but IVF, which we are open and ready for.  We all know follicles that drop don't mean much....but I just have to say for record...we had 4 and if one of those can't make it...well I'm convince my eggs are drying up or something.

We are starting tonight with the progesterone oil shots because I prefer them over the suppositories. So I know have to wait a week for 1st blood test then a week after that a blood test for HCG. Wish us luck!

follicle ultrasound!!

I'm so excited! Tomorrow is the first ultrasound scheduled on a weekend so my hubbys get to come with me! While he is less than excited to wake up early on the weekend and drive up to Newport Beach, we are so excited to see how big my follicles have gotten and if we are ready for an IUI this week!

Husbands know how to deal with us best

With every couple that struggles with infertility, I'm sure we can all say our husbands have really seen us in our true colors.
This was the day I noticed it, and well I'm still in denial that I over reacted (I'm not even medicated yet, oh help me now) but when I was reading Elise's comment about how I can seem positive in person and on the phone but when she reads my blog it reminds her of her days.
I do try to be more open with telling people, I've always been a more open person but I feel like when I write I am able to not feel like a crazy person in the grocery store screaming at her husband (oops, that happened today)
Kudos to all the husbands out there that have to make his clomid wife happy while everyone else is popping out kids. Even thought we have been living with my family for the past few months....they have not seen the depressed aubrey that joe has. So, what happened today....
First of all, I married my  husband for a reason (we are great together, I kid around that he is so much like one of my best friends in guy version) He loves to be sarcastic (he has cut down on that since he realized how sensitive I can be), He jokes around, loves to be positive about everything (this was hard when I didn't believe we could have kids and he did...I would get so angry at him and tell him he isn't God and doesn't know everything).
Well, at the grocery store today with my mom and sis, getting more prenatal and he looks at a organic baby oneise and we start commenting on it.  Then out of no where he says just  a few feet away " You should get on that and make one of those!"  oh I've never been so pissed at him! Out of all people he should know what WE are going through! Well, a few hours later and we patched things up.
until the next blow up.... remember to give your hunny a hug because he is sticking it through...all your true colors.
