Doing Better

I won't lie. I was crushed yesterday. I was so hopeful with this cycle because my P4 level was wonderful! I'm doing better, but my cycle hasn't started. I haven't had the 3 days of bleeding that is a constant reminder of the failure I am as a woman.

John and I have decided to have is s/a done along with any other test he can get done. Unfortunately the Dr. feels that it has to be an issue on his end because my body is doing everything 'normally'. John mentioned wanting to have his testosterone checked and I will be researching herbal supplements that he can take. We have also decided that we will be doing an IUI this month. He told me that his boss will have to deal with him being late to work one day because having a baby is more important to him. This is why I love this man with all my heart!

On to happier news, I had a dentist appointment. It was uncomfortable as usual, mad worse by the medication I have taken in the last 30 days. But NO CAVITIES!!!! That is great news for me. My teeth are soft and I can count on one hand the number of times I have gone for a cleaning and not had a cavity. Not often. It is nice to hear! Now I don't have to go back until October!

Jocelynn is great. She seemed to realize that I was upset yesterday. She kept hugging and kissing me and saying, "Mommy, I love you." I am truly blessed to have her. She knows exactly what I need to feel better.

Follow-up appointment.

Went to the Dr. again this morning for a follow-up u/s and blood work. Things are great!

Follicle size:
Left: 18.26 & 21.55
Right: 12.55, 13.71, 14.03, 14.11 & 16.78

The 3 bigger ones will most likely be a go, so she gave me the injection to ovulate. The next 2 Mondays I will be going in for blood work, 4-6-09 will be a progesterone level check and 4-13-09 is a blood pregnancy test (BETA). I am excited, still have some 'work' to do to give us every opportunity of getting a positive test.

My blood work from CD 3 came back good and the Dr. isn't really worried anymore about my ovarian reserves. That makes me feel better. FSH: 6.8, LH: 5.9 and E2: 63. I know this information means nothing to most people, but this blog is more of a journal for my life!


Jocelynn did WONDERFUL at her dentist appointment! It did take a little convincing, but not as much as I thought. She wouldn't sit in the chair by herself, but was willing to sit on my lap. The hygienist was even able to polish her teeth with the 'tooth tickler'. I was very pleasantly surprised and feel silly for feeling so anxious about the appointment.
