So, I realized I never checked back in after my last post and honestly, I think that once I had written down those crazy thoughts, I forgot about them…it was a release of negative energy that was draining me and all I needed to do was release it. They were some crazy thoughts, though, weren’t they? I looked back at them and marveled at how this journey and my mind go places that normally I don’t consciously choose to go.
So this week I went in for my follicle scan and had three good ones, 2 on my right ovary and 1 on my left ovary and based on what my RE saw he said that if he was going to draw up the ideal IUI cycle, this would be it….Whoohoooo!!!!!!! So, I had to do my HCG trigger shot at 3am Thursday morning (honestly, I don’t care because I usually wake up to take the dogs out in the middle of the night anyway) and this time the whole night turned out to be a circus. First, our foster dog Charlie had been having diarrhea for a couple of days and needed to go out at least 4 times per night, then Harley got the same thing on Wednesday so Wednesday night/Thursday morning, I was up with two sick dogs. The worst part was Harley messed her crate twice that night so I was up doing laundry (and trying not to throw up) and comforting two sick pups all night so I got zero sleep and had to give myself that shot in the middle of all of that. I wasn’t angry or annoyed, all I could think was that this is God preparing me for motherhood, right?!? Yep, I’m going with that…
Today was IUI #3 and I was so excited to see how Jon’s count turned out for this round….it more than TRIPLED from the last time!!!! I was so happy for him—last time he had 19 million post-wash and this time it was 68 million post-wash!!!! Those supplements are incredible!!! Everything went smooth, we prayed together in the car before the procedure, made sure to keep the day as stress-free as possible (no stressful topics of conversation or stressful activities) followed the doc’s instructions to baby-dance tonight and now the two week wait begins!
I guess I have to focus on some positive things for the next two weeks so I don’t go crazy waiting….I have a very good feeling about this time around….everything we could do we have done this time so now it is up the God to decide now is the time for us….Lord, please let this be our time!!!!
Love to all!
