TWW

We're 4 days into our 7th TWW. Insem went flawless. Our new donor sample was 31 million strong. K had 3 perfect follies.

No what if's. No negative thoughts. K wouldn't even let the nurse tell us the RE's plan if this cycle didn't work. She says this is it.

We test on the 31st. All positive thoughts this way... :)

Have a great Christmas everyone!

Lookin Good!

K's u/s this morning looked great. 3 beautiful follies. 2 are 13.5 and 1 at 14.5. We're right on track for a great cycle.

IRL - Things are still really busy for us. I'm back to working both jobs with no limitations anymore. The good thing is I'm feeling so much better. K's working as much as possible.

We're heading back to Chicago again for Christmas. I tried to find a dog sitter so I didn't have to drag the dogs 400 miles again, but that didn't work out. I'm kinda glad since I'd miss them terribly if they weren't with me.

That's about it for us. We're very positive and hopeful for this cycle.

Clean Ultrasound

K had a clean ultrasound yesterday! :) We are back in business.

Thanks to not just a blog friend but an old friend who is now pregnant with triplets we have enough injectable meds to get through this cycle and the next one if needed. But K believes this is the cycle.

Work has been so busy but in this economy I'd rather be busy.

I hope everyone is well and I'll have more updates later.

Update

Hello everyone. I know it's been a while since my last update. There really isn't alot but here's what's new.

K's cyst is still holding on strong so we're keeping her on BCP's for another 2 weeks. We picked a new donor who has only been with CCB for less then a year but already has over 5 reported pregnancies. Good swimmers!! Not to say that is going to make it happen this time, but I think it couldn't hurt. Thanks to one of my friends in blogland we have enough injectable meds for our next try. Our last try will probably be a clomid only try. We haven't totally decided to not buy the injectables for the last try, but if we did that would be another $2,000 and I just don't know if that will be possible. We'll see.

As for me. I'm getting better. I wouldn't have said that last week or even this past weekend, because I was having chest pain. Really more lung pain. I was really afraid that I was getting more clots (PE's) in my lungs. I went for a Chest CT yesterday and I was told that the clots in my lungs have been "resolved". I asked if that means they are gone and they said yes. GREAT NEWS. So, why the pain you ask.... I have pneumonia. I never thought I'd be so happy to hear I have pneumonia but I'll take that over clots anyday. After a week of medicine I'll be much better.

Someone asked me in my last post what is a good email to get a hold of me. I do check theultimategiftak@hotmail.com but not daily. If you want to email me I do check abarnhill29@hotmail.com almost daily. When emailing me please put TTC in the subject because I've had that email so long I get alot of junk so I click, click, click...delete if I don't know who the person is.

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving.

Round 6

After going back and forth about whether to try and again or not we have decided to take advantage of still having insurance that covers most of the cost and try again.

We went in yesterday so K's day 3 u/s and there was a cyst. K will be on BCP's for a couple weeks to calm things down and hopefully that cyst will go away. It looked like it was already starting to break up.

We are also busy trying to pick a new donor.

That's about it for us on the TTC subject.

I'm feeling alot better. I'm taking my blood thinners everyday and taking it easy so my body can do what it needs to do to break down the clots. I go back to working Job #2 this week. Even though I've loved all the time off I'm looking forward to getting back to work.
