Another month

Update…. YAY!!!!!! I know J
Well in March we did our 2nd round of Clomid. I took it according to period math as before and then went in to get a sonogram and shot on day 15. I had 3 mature follicles. YES, THREE!!! Debbie was nervous about giving me the shot to make me release the eggs. Because she didn’t want me to get pregnant with triplets, she wanted to one of the doctors. Ben missed this appointment, which normally doesn’t happen but with so many appointments he just can’t miss so much work anymore. So as I sat there, I frantically texted Ben what was going on.  I was so scared that I wasn’t going to get the shot. I wanted to guarantee my ovulation and giving us the highest chance to fertilize at least one egg.  Well Debbie came back in saying she would go ahead a give me the shot. YAY!!!!!!!
I came in about 10 days later for the blood test to check my progesterone level.  It was an 81. Pretty good right?
Nope. Started my period L I went in for another sonogram to make sure no large cists were starting. (Ben came with) Debbie walked in to the room and said “well I am totally shocked to be seeing you. I was so sure it was going to work”. Not a good sign that she doesn’t understand why this is happening.  Well no large cists.  We then discussed what was going to go on this month. I hadn’t had this procedure where they shoot dye into my fallopian tubes and take x-rays to see if they are open because I had gotten pregnant before.  Well they decided to go ahead and have me have it done just to make sure. Plus, Debbie said if there was any little stuff on the tubes the dye could blow it out and clean it up.
After the test, it was concluded that my tubes were open. And we have done another round of Clomid.
Ben reminds me that the definition of being insane is doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome. Well our hands are tied at the moment. Our insurance is amazing, but the infertility coverage won’t start until May 16 (hmmm also our 3 year anniversary) Ben had to argue to get it there from June but whatever, I’m very tired of fighting battles so this is one I’ll let go. I’m also not in the mood to vent about it so I will do that later J Because of this, we can’t move any further (trying IUI or IVF).
SOOOOOOOO, we are doing Clomid again this month. I had 3 mature follicles and 1 a little smaller than mature. After last month, Debbie just went ahead and gave me the shot.
Now, it’s the waiting game again……
