Here we go....Again!

Okay, I needed somewher to vent a little about this whole experience....I have seen many blogs from my pregnant patients and friends (hi Meg) and decided this would be a great place to do so. Also, it is a great way to keep our families updated! So here goes.....

Well, aunt flo came (with force) yesterday. I was sad at first because it meant yet again....I was not pregnant. But I kind of figured it was coming anyway, so not a huge surprise. I made my usual phone call to Dr. Carnovale to let him know so I could go in for my next ultrasound. He scheduled my ultrasound for today...
I was nervous about this because the last ultrasound I had showed the Clomid I had been taking caused m ovaries to "get mad" and produce lots of cysts on them so I was told I had to wait until they went away! I don't think Dr. C gets how hard that is for me! I will admit, I am not a patient person when it comes to things I really want. I work hard, save hard, or do whatever I have to if it means a lot to me!

I got to my appt and Dr. C saw me through the window at the front desk and said "hey Kera"....that made me think...it is totally sad that I am there so much that he knows me without holding my chart in his hands!
They took me back and gave me the usual lines...take off everything from the waist down and sit on the chair with the pretty little paper drape and we will be back in a few minutes.
I was excited about this ultrasound, but also I was not allowing myself to get very hopeful since I knew that the cysts might still be there. I did what I was told and sat and waited....
He came in and got right to it. Ultrasound in....no big cysts (a few small ones, which he assured me would be okay). I was soo excited!! I then got dressed and met his nurse in her office to discuss the next steps.
This being my second IUI, I knew what was next....Clomid on days 5-9, ultrasound about 2-3 days after last dose, trigger shot when he says so, then IUI 2 days after that!
I start my Clomid (same dose as last time 100 mg) on Monday...I can't wait for all those lovely side effects to come back to me again. Last time I felt very exhausted and got these hot flashes at night. Matt loved it...he said I would all of a sudden wake up and start stripping in our bed while I was still asleep. He said at first he thought I was dreaming! Once I told him I was having these hot flashes he put it all together and laughed.
Matt is going out of town next week, so he will get to miss out on all this excitement (which I think he is secretly glad about).
I will try and keep everyone updated with this blog.....
