More bed! More cats!

It's another cold day in the 'hood. Dashboard says 17° again which does not really please me. I have some frantic running around to do today - a home visit in Roxbury at 9:30 and then I have to make it to my doctor's appointment in Quincy at 11:00. I suppose it's doable but I get kind of paranoid about lateness, especially when I don't really know this doctor's policy on such things, since I've only been there once. Still, I should be able to make it.

Speaking of, still no temperature shift. I know I shouldn't be TOO frustrated, not yet anyway, because it's only Day 17 and therefore it's not impossible that I will ovulate, since I had been running a 45-70 day cycle before upping my medication. Besides, stress doesn't help, either. But yeah - I had definitely hoped to go into this appointment with the suspicion that I ovulated but oh well. Hopefully I will ovulate sometime, whenever really, and then at least I will know that it happened.

So tired. I keep waking up at 6:30am or so and I wish I wouldn't. I could really use that extra hour of sleep. Drat!

We are no longer soulmates.

1. 17° is about 15 degrees warmer than I like it. I am aware that I live in the wrong place.

2. I woke up at 6:30am yesterday morning in a panic because I'd overslept so much. I still made it into the office by 7:05am, and, fortunately, my customer was running late as well.

We're criss-crossed soulmates! Because, let's face it, 17° is about 55 degrees colder than I'd like it.

AND, if you're getting up before 6:00, that's okay, because that's when I'm getting into work in the EST. So see? It all works out!

Ooh, you have a point there!

Maybe we're doppelgangers! This could explain a lot.

The question I simply can't answer is: "Which one of us is the *EVIL* twin??"

Muuaahahahahahaa!!

Who says only /one/ of us has to be evil?

It really amazes me how similar we are in our PCOS stuff. I know you don't want to take the clomid but usually you can get pregnant fairly quickly with it especially with in-vetro I assume. So maybe it will be better you try over Jen anyway!

Well, we're not pursuing in-vitro, just using IUIs (Intrauterine Inseminations - when they inject the sperm right into your uterus instead of near the cervix) to try to get pregnant. If it got to the point where they thought I needed in-vitro to get pregnant, I don't think I would.

I still want to see if I ovulate on my own this cycle (still have those darned high hopes!), though I'm going to take Clomid next cycle (NEXT CYCLE!!! !!! :O !!!) and use my new monitor and hope for the best.

And then we will be doing it together! :)

p.s. Someday I want to see a picture of you (and Ryan) so I can put a face to a name.

Interesting! I didn't know IUI was different than in-vitro - I just thought it was the same thing with a different name so you've taught me something new.

Wooo hooo clomid next cycle! You'll be pregnant before you know it! It took me 2 tries on clomid to get pregnant the first time (when I had my miscarriage) & 4 tries after that to get pregnant with Devin. This time it's not working as well, I'm not sure why but this will be my 4th try of clomid though I did take lethrozole the first try so I guess this will be my 5th round of fertility drugs this cycle. It's so stressful that the clomid didn't work last cycle. She uped me to 3 pills a day. i hope that will work. I think my period just started today so here I go again....

So when is next cycle starting exactly? Any ideas? A month? I'm so excited - start now instead!!!!

Didn't you see our London pictures? I'll email you a link.

My current plan is to start my next cycle (provided it doesn't come on its own before then) a couple of days before we go to New Orleans at the end of the month (so take Provera a week before we're supposed to go)... and then I can get the IUI hopefully when we come back, provided the Clomid works.

I'm so scared that this isn't going to work after shelling out all of the money. I think we decided on a donor, which is nice. Now we'll drop $1000 or so on sperm ($300/vial and $75 shipping; we'll probably start with three vials) and another $330 storage fee at the clinic so they will keep our sperm all stored up. So frustrating! All of that without even STARTING to pay for the IUIs!!

Augh! I just hope this is successful. I'm scared that after all of this expense, it won't even work. We'll see.

*sigh*

This is just so exciting! I'm wishing you good luck & lots of bab dust.

Sorry about the cost but in the end it will be all worth it!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

It will be worth it if it WORKS.

fingers crossed for both of us!
