Updates to try number two

So we got through the first half of the process with number two. I was freaking out a little bit because we had to do the insemination on a day that michael was supposed to work in American Fork (he leaves about 5:30am) and I didn't have a car. So we talked to Michael's bosses and said it was absoultly necessary that he gets the car back at a certain time.  They were okay with that because of our situation, and gave him an hour lunch break instead of the normal half hour.  I felt better, but still a little nervous because you never really know with the hospital. Leaving or taking lunch at a certain time is very very difficult because you never know what is going to come at you, or when they will suddenly have a need.  Anyway, five o clock the next morning we get a call saying they don't need him in American Fork anymore and he was on call.  Thankfully he didn't get called in until 6:45 in Provo. Matthew got up, and I was able to take him to work....WAHOO!  Check point one, have a car. Now the next item is with the IUI things need to be timed just so, this was going to be tricky again with hospital schedule. Michael told them he needed a break right at a certain time, and thankfully that happened.   So I was able to take everything and go to the doctor who did the IUI. She said everything went just fine, counts were good and so forth.  So cross our fingers again.
Other interesting things...four eggs this time. Three on the right, one on the left.  Two on the right were not big enough to mature (they gave us a printout of the egg sizes, kind of funny, but whatever).  So virtually one on each side.
Also when I gave the shot to myself (yes I did it myself!) I had a reaction,nothing serious. I had them look at the area, just very red about an inch or so around the shot area and a little swollen.  They told me to just watch it, make sure it dosen't get any bigger and put some creme on it to help take away burning or itching and some slight pain.

That's about all, as eventful as it gets folks :)

Here we go again!

So we got the okay to try again.  I am probably not going to post all the details again, so wish us luck!  We are excited (well kind of...lol) to start again.I am not a fan of taking the progrestrone (hot flashes were awful!), and not excited about the needle or the stress of going to the doctor muliple times in a week, but other than that I guess you could say we are.  I will let you know if anything different happens, or if anything changes.  From my ultrasound today the doc said I was "boringly normal."  Ha, guess that's one situation where that would be a good thing!

try try again....

So the insemination didn't work this time, so we will try again.  Not super excited about all the hormones and injection to take, but that's what you gotta do.  We are a little disappointed, but not totally bummed as we are kind of getting used to this news at this point.  However, we are still hoping for the best and will still proceed! :).  Orginally the nurse told us we might have to wait a month to try again (i'm not sure why) but the lady on the phone said to call her and we'll get the ball rolling for a second time soon.  So we will see when we can get things started.  Thanks your continued prayers are appreciated!!! We are not giving up yet! :)
