Yikes...so much for blogging on a consistent basis....it's been 2+ weeks! Sorry to all of my followers...although at this point I think I am follower-less :(. Starting to feel like I'm back in high school eating lunch in my chorus teachers room 'cause no one wanted to be my friend....sigh...another topic for another post....LOL.
So time marches on and so does our journey in TTC land! Here's what went on during our brief commercial break...
* Prometrium went well and AF arrived even before I was completely finished with the pills! Yippee!
* I started taking the dreaded BCP's...but luckily have had no side effects so far! Yay!
* I scheduled and underwent my HSG, but not before practically having a nervous breakdown worrying about it beforehand! Ha! A note to all of those out there who are facing an impending HSG: Get a good doctor, take some good drugs (I had Valium and some Tylenol), and don't worry about it! I read at least 100 internet postings about how HORRIBLE and PAINFUL it would be and I had myself so worked into a frenzy that I think I lost about 5 lbs. due to my "nervous stomach"...HA! It was a breeze! Some mild cramping, but nothing worse than what comes with AF, and it was over in about 5-10 mins! And the best news is....the tubes are in great shape and totally clear!! Our doc said they look "textbook perfect"....I have to say this made me proud! Ha! I knew I could grow a nice pair of tubes! ;)
* So when we arrived home, we promptly ordered 4 units of the best, most manly and fierce swimmers on the planet from Fairfax! The donor is a military guy, so I can only imagine that these spermies will each come equipped with tiny sperm Humvees and GPS targeted on the egg or eggs that roll down those perfect tubes of mine....heeheehee....a girl can dream right?
Anyways -- so that's where we're at right now. Papa-cicles will arrive at our clinic next Wednesday and lay in wait until mid-March for our "big day". Can we say "Thank God" for a RE clinic with its own storage facility that stores for FREE if you're an active patient?? I love our RE clinic!!
And with that positive note, I'd also like to send some good thoughts and prayers to our good friend Carey, who recommended the wonderful RE doc to us and has been doing battle with the infertility demons for a few years now :(. She lost one of her twins today and I can't imagine the sadness she and her partner are feeling. If anyone out there is reading this, please keep my friend in your thoughts and prayers as she fights to keep baby "B" safe and cozy in her belly for the next 4 months!! You can do it girl! Our future baby is going to need a friend!! :)
