Hi Ladies!
Sorry it has been a while since I posted and I finally had a minute to sit down and catch up.
to those who were hit by
. Really this the best way to describe all of this is beyond frustrating.
This has been a hectic month for me. A brief overview. Maybe not so brief but he goes-
All along we had planned on IUI this cycle, I got my hopes up (even post-poned vacation plans)!
Had my HSG on a Monday morning- went well, all normal. Per RE, plan was still for IUI. Then that afternoon I went in for an ultrasound to check my follicles. Had 9! Hopes higher!
Then the RE said, well, "the day we should do it I will be out of town so just try again naturally." SO DISAPPOINTED!
But convinced myself it wasn't meant to be this month...move on. Changed vacation plans back to original.
A few days later RE calls. Guess what, her plans changed, she will be available to do it at 9am Saturday. I call DH, we discuss and decided to just try again naturally this month because we would have to change our flights again and all of this has been taking a toll on us both. I am at peace with this plan. He says he will call RE. About 30 minutes later he sends me a text, "IUI Saturday at 7am. That way we will make our flight" I swear between DH and RE I am going to be driven crazy.
FastForward a few days. I stop in to the RE office (it is in the same hospital that I work at). She gives me a script for my trigger shot. I fill it, throw it in my purse and go back to work. I am supposed to give this at 9pm. I have dinner plans at 830 so I will have to sneak off and give it in the bathroom, no problem. At 8pm I pull it out of purse to check it out. problem- I have the intramuscular shot and no syringe. The pharmacy gave me the wrong thing. Luckily, I am in health care as is DH so we run to the nearest pharmacy and are able to order a syringe...a REALLY BIG syringe (that is all they have). So there I am in a tiny little bathroom in a tiny little restaurant mixing this solution and jabbing myslef in the stomach with a GIANT needle. Now, needles do not usually bother me, but this one was BIG, and it hurt, and I bled. Quickly cleaned myself, and the bathroom up and returned to dinner.
Thank goodness the IUI went on Saturday Sept 19 without any problems. DH had plenty of "robust"
. We made our flight and had a very nice vacation. We both got some much needed
Now back to reality.
I am not very hopeful
But then again, Im not sure that I will ever feel hopeful about all of this having been disappointed so many times. I just feel like I am on this crazy roller coaster and I really want to get off. Somedays I feel like I am hanging on by a thread, others are not so bad. I don't know...
Will have a blood test Thursday to see if it worked. Im not going to test early. Just trying to keep busy until then.
Fingers crossed for lots of
soon!
Sorry for the long post but thanks for letting me get that all out!
