Dirty Tricks or Symptoms??

We did insems on Monday and Tuesday and started Prometrium yesterday. While the weepiness and sore boobs haven’t kicked in yet I have been sleeping all weekend and ravenous. Prometrium is a dirty trick to play on a woman TTC. The progesterone gives you all of the symptoms of pregnancy without necessarily being pregnant. After last time’s BFN I’m trying not to be overly optimistic, but at the same time I can’t help thinking that this isn’t the Prometrium but our own little bub after all!

And Now, We Wait

The second insem went off without a hitch yesterday. Nurse Nicey wasn’t there, but Nurse Efficient who attended my vaginal ultrasound when we first started there was there with Nurse Newbie who walked in a took a center stage seat at my crotch without bothering to introduce herself until I looked her straight in the eye and asked “What did you say your name was again?” I told her that we should at least be on a first name basis if she was gonna be cervix gazing with Nurse Efficient. Two like Nurse Efficient because she had no problem getting my cervix to pop into the speculum, but I still prefer the less clinical, more familiar joviality of Nurse Nicey!

That being said I am feeling really good about this cycle. I was worried about the accuracy of the OPK because I had yet to see EWCM, but when I went in on Monday cervical gazing Nurse Nicey told me that it was DEFINITELY there and Monday night and Tuesday it hit the light of day so to speak.  I want to think that the pelvic level cramps and twitches that I had last night after the second insem were caused by the frolicking between the sperm and my ever ready eggs!

So now, we wait. We have a BETA set for the 29th and I start the Prometrium (yeah!) on Saturday. I am not going to drive myself crazy with the temping during the TWW because the Prometrium does weird things to my body temp. What use is monitoring BBT when I wake up on fire every morning anyway?

And We’re Off!

I woke uo this morning, peed on a stick, got a positive (OPK) and called Dr. McDreamy’s office. I drove down at about 2 and did the deed. Tomorrow I have to go back tomorrow for a follow up. Nurse Nicey said that everything looked good in terms of the CM. She also said that if I get pregnant this month that it is all because of her. She wanted that to be known because she actually won’t be there tomorrow and has to pass me off to another nurse. Two made a joke about my reproductive bits being used to her and not appreciating having to break in a new nurse.

Feeling pretty good about the whole thing, a bit crampy but good. So tomorrow I get to go to work and then head back down to the big city.

Holding Patterns

It’s been pretty quite. Today is CD10 and I started peeing on a stick (OPK) waiting to go and visit Dr. McDreamy.

Two and I have taken little weekend trips the last couple of weekends to do some shopping and to have some away time. I’m pretty sure that the dog hates up by now. Last weekend we did some spoil us shopping this weekend we did some desperately needed for the house shopping. Now we need to stop shopping or we’ll run out of money to put Dr. McDreamy’s 8 kids through college!!

Sticky baby thoughts to all.

Double the Femara, Double the Fun

I have to say that this month’s cycle hasn’t been fun yet. I spent like two hours balling yesterday. I wish I could say that it was for no reason, but the odd thing is that I don’t usually cry about things in my life. Two’s has health issue, but that has been the case since we met and I’ve known it all along. We’re dealing with it. My career is secure, we have a great house, but every time I look at Two I keep thinking of worst case scenarios. This can’t be a good way to go into a TWW. I know that it is the hormones, but that doesn’t make it any easier.

If previous cycles are any indication I should be headed to Dr. McDreamy’s office Tuesday and Wednesday or somewhere thereabouts. * sigh *

Damn, I’ve Got Good Instincts!

I called Dr. McDreamy’s office yesterday to get them to call in the new super dosage of Letrozole thinking that I was ahead of the game, being that it was CD22 and all. Guess what? Yep…you guessed it. AF started today! My days got all thrown off with all of the Prometrium/spotting/whothehellknowswhenmyperiodactuallystarted stuff from last month. I guess that I am back in the game sooner than expected!

Now I just have to make sure that they get the meds called in so that I can start taking them tomorrow!
