Okay. I know it has been way too long. I’m very very sorry.
Disney World was amazing. Kinda cold, but amazing. I twisted my knee in the trolley car track at the Magic Kingdom, and the opposite ankle flared up and both killed me most of the time. But, HELLO!!! ITS DISNEY!!!!! I didn’t let it stop me! I limped and gimped my way through a blast of a time.
We did get disappointing news while there though.
We started our first round of Clomid at the end of December. Clomid is a drug, in a pill form, that you take once a day for five days starting on your fifth day of your cycle, and aids in ovulation. We then went in to the office on January 6th to have a sonogram to check my ovaries and see if there were any follicles brewing in there. (follicles have an egg in them) Well I had two good size follicles in each ovary and a smaller second in my right ovary. I had been using an ovulation prediction kit and hadn’t had a LH surge yet, and I had never had one in past months either. Debbie, my fertility nurse, told me if I didn’t get a surge by the 8th to come in on the 8th and she would give me a shot to make me ovulate. Well, I had to come in on the 8th for my shot and she had to perform another sonogram. During this sonogram we saw that one, maybe two, of my eggs may have gotten too mature and the smaller one had gotten to a good mature size. She gave me a shot. Now when you ovulate on your own you usually only release one egg, even if you have more up in there. However, when you get this shot it makes you release all of them in the next 24 hours. That part worked I got a surge the next two days. Two week wait period comes next. But about a week into that I had to go in for a blood test for progesterone to see if I ovulated well. Last test I had for this I had a 7 and she wanted at least 15. This time I had a level of 75!!! SCORE…..right????
Well….. Our first official full day in Disney World I started my period… wha whaaaaaaaa
So I called Debbie from Epcot about starting another round while we were there. I had to leave a message. She called my back and told me that she needed to do another sonogram before starting another round of clomid to check for any large cists in my ovaries because clomid could agitate them. Once again… wha whaaaaaaa….
Ok so if I wasn’t already totally upset, disappointed, and all around heartbroken over not being pregnant, now I have to wait another month to try this clomid thing.
Every month counts when you’re trying to get pregnant. It makes a year go by really fast. I only really have one shot a month to get pregnant and if I don’t than I have to wait till the next month. That is only 12 chances a year!!!! It sucks!!! It makes time fly and you sit there in deep depression realizing that a year and a half has passed and still no baby… Especially when you lose one and so you shouldn’t be going through this at all and should be a mom right now… wha whaaaaa….
la sigh
