My meds are all ready to go...my "trigger shot" is here, my clomid is kickin....now we just need some egg action and we'll be good!!
Last night I started Clomid. Just 50mg a night until Friday. It doesn't seem to have much of an effect on me other then the hot flashes and occasional nausea. It's all worth it if I can get a few good, mature follicles! We'll see next Tuesday!
God is good!
This little squirrel was just hanging out on our gate a few weeks ago. It just makes me laugh for some reason!
Can't EVEN put into words how excited I am to start on this project! GOODBYE 1970's tile back splash!!
We previously said goodbye to the same tile counter tops over Mothers Day weekend this year. That was SUCH an improvement to our kitchen!!!
While Clint was at baseball practice with Blake last Saturday, I took the opportunity to try and help out! I have SORE arms, but what a stress reliever!!! :)
Here's a pic of the mess! I tried to keep it picked up and control the dust....I think I did pretty good.
Here is after I busted tail for 2 hours.... Clint was very proud of me!!
So then it was Clint's turn to take over.
I am going to order the glass tile for the back splash next week. I am SUPER excited to get this going!I had my follow-up doc appointment yesterday with Dr. H. He said that everything looked good...my cyst had shrunk to a 7 (it was 18), so the Northindrone worked.
He told me to stop taking it because it had successfully suppressed my ovaries so much that I will probably not have a period now. Of course I was totally confused thinking, "great, now I wont be able to do another IUI until I get the stupid thing"...but apparently I was wrong. Since Dr. H is in total control of my "cycle" he can make it happen or not happen.
He said if I don't have a period by Monday the 30th then I am to call him and he will "create" a cycle day 1 for me. He wrote me the prescription for Clomid and ordered my HcG trigger shot (it will be delivered this week) and sent me on my way. Clint laughed and said he better order me two of them since I shattered the bottle last time.
I think this time I will open the box while sitting on the carpet...maybe even on top of a pillow for extra cushion!!
So I guess we will see what next week holds. I don't feel much of anything right now. Never wanting to get my hopes up or get excited about much of anything. I guess it comes with the territory!
Laynie had her first softball game last night. They won by 1 point and she played great! She's in 8th grade and is considered "Varsity" now. She LOVES that title!! ;)
I am really glad it's Friday. I have a couple DIY projects that I am eager to work on this weekend.
Monday I have an appointment with my RE (that's reproductive endocrinologist) and hopefully we find that the cyst has gone away and we can just wait for my next period and move forward!!!! I'll be praying for that all weekend.
Well today is the first day of school for the kids! The summer really flew by, but I must admit I am glad to see school roll around again. I'm a sucker for a schedule and routine! WOW...that made me sound really dorky!
Laynie is in 8th grade this year. She's excited that she's in Yearbook and I'm excited she's in a typing class....hee hee hee. She is in an accelerated Math class (NEVER could I EVER do that!! Smart cookie Laynie!) and is taking 2D Art and is playing softball this Fall!
She ended last year with straight A's and I know she will do just as good this year! She is such a smart, talented young lady and I enjoy her sweet, helpful spirit!!
Blake is in 5th grade this year. He has a sweet, young (no kids, not married) teacher this year....so that can either be a good thing (he loves to charm the ladies!) or it can be a bad thing (his talking could totally get on her nerves!)....we are praying for the first! Last year Mrs. Boswell always had nice things to say about Blake. That he's kind and helpful....and oh yea, that he TALKS non-stop! hA! That's our Blake!!!!
He is playing Fall baseball and really growing. I can see it in his face the most. It's not so "baby" anymore :(
He is funny and super energetic....and he is a sweetheart.
We are so proud of both of the kids and are looking forward to another great school year!!!!
(P.S. No, we didn't take up hunting.....they are at their Mom's this week!)
