November 1 I went back to the doctor after being on birth control for a month because of cysts. My ultrasound went great the cysts were gone so on the 3rd I started injections again. This time she started me at 100 units and I went back the following Friday. At that ultrasound there weren't any front runners and after getting my estrogen blood work they called and said to increase to 200 and come back Tuesday. On Tuesday I had a follie (egg) measuring at 17 which was great! A single front runner! So I did one more night of injections and on Wednesday night I triggered! That means on Friday we were doing IUI! I was extremely nervous for the trigger shot because David had to administer it in the muscle but he was so wonderful I didn't feel more then a prick of the needle. On Friday we went up and did the insemination! And the wait began! Two long weeks of waiting before I could test. My estrogen level that day was over 800. For one good egg they like it a over 200 so mine was exceptional! My lining was great and David's numbers were gold star achievable! Everything was perfect! Then finally today was the day to test. I have been thinking about it nonstop for two days. Wasn't sure I would be able to sleep last night! I was afraid to test because if it was negative it would be real. Until that lonely one line I could imagine the what ifs. Well reality had to hit and it hit me snack in the gut. One lonely line it was. It isn't fair. I wanted it to be positive so bad but no matter how hard I looked at it it wasn't changing. No cute ultrasound reveals at Christmas for family. No getting to tell Delainee finally there is a baby in my tummy, that she will be a big sister. We are taking a break until after the holidays. Treatments take up a lot of time. Ultrasounds 2-3 days a week and being hormonal. I would much rather enjoy the holidays and Delainee's Christmas break without that. So next year we will have a new start. And let's face it that is only just over a month away!
Here is a picture of my first tree that is up :)
Love my "nature tree". Can't wait to put more trees up! Decorating and having trees up is one of my favorite things! The end result is my favorite of course! Enjoy your Thanksgiving with family or friends and I will update when all my trees are up!
