Ultrasound update

My first u/s was today and I measured 6 weeks 4 days. Heartbeat was 113. It seemed a little low but my doctor wasn't concerned at all and said she wanted it to be over 100. I have one more u/s next monday and then I will graduate to an actual OB. Yay! Little guy is making mommy very sick. I can't eat much except for fruits and veggies. Even my normal cravings sound gross. I LOVE eggs with syrup on them. Yesterday I had some and I don't think I will ever have eggs with syrup again. Yuck! Oh and I don't think cake sounds good at all. Yes Megan Norman turned down cake. Jared is wonderful cause he is making supper every night since my stomach turns every time I smell food. No throwing up yet though. I do enjoy being sick since it gives me that reassurance that the baby is okay. Last week I was having crazy cravings and couldn't eat enough and I was worried because I'm not nauseous. This week I'm nauseous and I miss my cravings. I should probably just learn to enjoy the off days instead of worry about something being wrong when I have them.

And the Verdict Is.....



I'm sooo PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow. Who would have thought this would have actually worked?!? I sure didn't. My mind was already in the in vitro cycle and I didn't even realize that I should be testing. Okay so this is what happened.
I was 9 days past my hcg trigger shot and I decided to pick up a few dollar tree tests so I could see what a positive test actually looks like since the hcg shot makes me have false positives until the shot is all out of my system. So I take the test and it was negative?!?! WTH! I was so upset that my only chance to see a positive test was over cause the shot was already out of my system. The next day I took one and there was a LIGHT line. I thought it was the shot and was excited that I actually was able to see some of the shot lingering. 2 days later (I tested everyday) I took another test and it was even darker!! The trigger shot doesn't make tests get darker, they are supposed to get lighter. I started feeling optimistic so the next day I took a more expensive First Response test you can see the result above, its the top test. So I freaked out and called Jared and yelled "We're pregnant". He kinda already knew though but was excited. I took another test the next morning and it was much lighter. I was kinda nervous about that so I just took a digital just to make sure. It came up PREGNANT in no time at all. This was at about 6:00 am and I went and jumped on Jared and showed him the test. He didn't mind though. lol. So I called my doctor and told her I wanted a blood test. At the time I was 2 days too early for a blood test but my doctor agreed to do one anyway. I asked what number she would like to see me at and she said anywhere between 25 and 50 is great. Anything over that is doing really good. I got a call that afternoon saying that my blood test was 85!!! I had to come back in 2 days later to make sure it had doubled since that will tell them that I have a healthy pregnancy so far. My next blood test number was 211. So healthy baby so far. All last week I was sick and couldn't sleep but I'm starting to think it was nerves cause now that I got my 2nd blood test back I'm feeling a lot better. Feeling better did make me freak out a little though so I took another pregnancy test. This was at 15 days past my IUI


HA HA HA. Look at that pitiful control line! My test line dominated. Take that evil control!!!! So far I have taken 16 pregnancy tests this week. Dave Ramsey would be ashamed of my blown budget but I really don't even care right now. :)
I'm still very very nervous and I'm over analysing ever little ache and pain. I hate it when I wake up feeling good cause I want to know that my little guy is okay. And I'm cramping a LOT which apparently is a good sign, but it still makes me nervous. I would be even more nervous if I stopped cramping though. I am 4 weeks and 2 days along and I'm only sick occationally. Its ONLY when I smell stuff. I lit my favorite candle yesterday and had to blow it out and hold my nose as I stuffed it in the laundry room cause the smell was overwhelming and making me so sick. Today I have something in the crock pot and I gag everytime I go into the kitchen cause the onion soup packet is just way to powerful a smell. I think I will be able to relax a little once I get my u/s June 6th at 10 am.
This was the first cycle that I was administered to right after my treatment and I believe God blessed me when I finally just turned it all over to him. I should have done that all along. I'm cautiously optimistic that we will have a baby in January. My unofficial due date is January 27, 2012 although I'm hoping for January 30, 2012 for Grandma's birthday. :) That's all for now, I'll update more later.

Lots of HCG, no baby

So as I said in my last post, I got a shot of hcg on Thursday and let me tell you, it's just great being infertile with a ton on pregnancy hormone in my body. The infertility gives me a lot to be upset about and the pregnancy hormone makes me emotional so poor Jared has been so confused lately. lol. It's been almost 7 days since the shot so it should be out of my system by Friday. I can't test for pregnancy for awhile though cause the hormone will give me a false positive. We have kinda decided that October is when we will try to get in vitro if we aren't pregnant by then. It really is perfect timing. Jared will be starting school in August so if I get pregnant during my october cycle I can take off work for the summer and Jared will be able to work. During the summer we do well financially cause Jared gets income from SMMC, but he doesn't work there during the summer so he has income from a full time second job as well so I will be able to take off for maternity leave and not worry about the loss of my income. Also, We might be moving for Jareds school and if we do move I won't be pregnant during the move and I can just quit my job once the baby comes and then I won't be pregnant and trying to find a new job. We can't do in vitro any sooner cause we have to come up with money so October is really the soonest and the latest we can do it. So happy birthday to me!!! :) I'm trying to think of fundraising ideas so we won't go into extreme debt over this. The debt will be completely worth it, but I still would like to be living in a house once we have a baby and not a cardboard box. lol. I never thought it would come down to in vitro. I always suspected, but I just thought it was me being paranoid and pessimistic. Here are the odds I've beaten so far,

15% of couples are infertile most of those couples are over the age of 30
10% of infertiles have unexplained infertility
5% if infertiles will need in vitro

The odds were definatly in my favor, but I just HAD to prove everyone wrong and be that one that couldn't get pregnant with anything but in vitro.
I could be speaking too soon, maybe I'm pregnant right now and all of this will be void. Hopefully that's the case.

3 simple words, one BIG bill

In Vitro Fertilization.
That is what its gonna take to get me pregnant. I went to the doctor today and she said that she feels like we should start preparing ourselves for IVF. I did a u/s today and saw that I had 3 beautiful eggs ready to pop. I did a hcg trigger shot which makes me ovulate and I will get an IUI tomorrow. This will be our final IUI. We are on the road to IVF and we plan on doing it in the fall. We have to figure out how to save up some money and then find a bank that will give us a loan since IVF will be $12,000. Can't put a price on family though. IVF has a 70% success rate. My doctor did say that because of my age, we have a 40% chance of twins. That makes me nervous because twins make pregnancy higher risk but to only transfer 1 embryo would decrease my success rate and 2 is better then none at all. So that's where we are at. If this cycle is a bust we will be on the road to IVF!!!!!!!! I'm sooo nervous about spending that kind of money but I think this will work. We will be pregnant this year! :)

Update

I'm on cd 13 and I should have gotten a positive lh test by now but I haven't gotten even a slight positive. So I am suspicious that the Clomid did the opposite of what it was meant to do and it halted ovulation this month. I am slightly relieved because I don't want to do anymore unmonitored IUI's. They aren't working. I am working on paperwork to go to Reproductive Resource Center so I can get a second opinion from one of the most recognized RE in the area. I went to an infertility conference Saturday and I asked him about unmonitored IUI's. He asked me my age and then said that most doctors will put me on the slow route because they think I have plenty of time to figure out what is wrong. Well he said that yes age is on my side, but the fact that I'm so young is also a big concern because I should have been pregnant 2 years 7 months ago and the fact that I'm not tells him that something is seriously wrong and needs to be taken very seriously. That's what I've been thinking this whole time. I SHOULD be very fertile because of my age and the fact that I can't get pregnant is a big concern to me. We are looking into getting a loan and possibly doing 2 cycles of injectibles and then we will talk to the doctor about in vitro. I can't put up with the disappointment and is worth the peace of mind. I still need to talk to a doctor about what I want to do, but I have a feeling the doctors and I will both be on the same page, 3 years of infertility is a very long time. So this month is my break cycle. I might still be on a break next month as well to save up money because I think doing IUI's without having a ultrasound first is throwing away money. We have started talking about adoption but I think we are too young to be considered. We are still going to look into it though. Anyway thats my update. If I don't ovulate I will call my doctor and tell her I want to reevauate my treatment plan because I'm not happy.

I am 99% sure...

I'm out. I stopped progesterone Monday, but I am still on this cycle. If I don't get to Cycle day 1 again by tomorrow I will call my doctor cause I was supposed to be on Cycle day 1 Monday. I'm doing 1 more round of treatment with 50 mg of clomid this time and then I'm taking a break. I bought a puppy (it was supposed to be a 3 year old dog) and I have my hands full with him. We went to the pound and found this adorable chihuahua/ pomeranian mix. They told us he was 3 and potty trained. Well when I took him to the vet yesterday I found out he is not even a year old and he is very much NOT potty trained. He also developed a nice case of kennel cough last night so this is how my night went:
11:00 pm- went to bed
12:00 am- up with playful puppy
1:30- playful puppy strikes again
2:45- My two "children" get into a fight and puppy is scared
3:45- Puppy is now sick with kennel cough and has to go potty
4:10- Puppy is awake due to kennel cough
5:00- Puppy starts coughing again and is scared
6:30- Puppy is still sick and I am up anyway so I start my day.
Thats right folks, I don't even have a baby yet and I'm up all night. But the puppy (Bruiser) is a very nice distraction from infertility. I kinda feel like I want to just raise my dogs for awhile and enjoy life without kids cause I've been stressed out for so long about not being able to get pregnant that I haven't been able to really stop and think about the good parts of not having kids. So I'm taking a break after this next IUI and I'm going to regroup my scattered thoughts before I charge ahead. IUI's are pretty pointless for me anyway. I don't want to waste the money when I know I need surgery and IVF.


Oh and I have very EXCITING news!!! I got a letter from insurance today and (drumroll please) The hospital OWES ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Insurance covered EVERYTHING! We paid for a doctors visit already and the letter said that they sent out a payment for the same visit. So I no longer have to be afraid of the evil mailbox that always gives me bills cause I'm not gonna be getting any!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lost a furbaby and other updates

Well first of all I haven't been on to update much because I haven't had a lot of updates. I'm in the two week wait again and now that I'm on progesterone I can't tell what my body is doing. I've been having mood swings, I'm tired all the time, and I can't stop eating. It's great that I get an increased appetite right before swimsuit season. But all those things can be due to all the meds that I'm on. The only thing that is making me slightly excited is that my bbt (basal body temp) rose 3 days ago to become a triphasic chart. A study was done and 20% of pregnant women gets triphasic charts, and only 5% of non pregnant women get them. The other 75% don't see them at all. A chart become triphasic when there is a 3rd temp spike 6-10 days after ovulation and is usually due to the pregnancy hormone raising the temperature. Now don't get all excited and think that this is it for me. Progesterone causes temps to rise and since I'm on progesterone supps my amazing temps could be due to the extra progesterone that I'm on. I was slightly confused this morning when my temp rose slightly instead of fell since I'm 13 days past ovulation but I'm fully expecting it to fall tomorrow. I will get on here and let you all know what tomorrow's temperature brings.

Now about my furbaby Buddy. He is the cat you see in my blog. He was a mommy's boy and I loved him so much, but we had to get rid of him today. He peed in my closet for the last time. lol. Actually Jared hated Buddy and has been wanting to get rid of him awhile ago but I wouldn't let him. I finally realized that cleaning that litter box was probably not the best idea when we were trying to get pregnant and especially not good once we did get pregnant. I found a wonderful couple on craigslist who was looking for a long hair siamese and they fell in love with him the moment they saw him. I'm sad, but I think Cupid is happier now without buddy attacking her all the time. She actually is out with the family now instead of hiding under the bed. :) I hope he will be happy in his new home. I will miss laughing at his clumsiness though.

More updates to come soon because I have to test monday so I know if I have to continue the progesterone or stop it to allow af (aunt flo) to come and start a new month of treatment.

I am outraged!!!

Peta launched a new "contest" which is in "honor" of national infertility awareness week. Apparently if you get your dog or cat neutered in the month of April you are entered to win a free vasectomy. They actually said it was in honor of national infertility week which is the week of April 29. How cruel to mock the infertile community!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You would NEVER EVER mock people that had breast cancer. You would never run a national campaign to mock SIDS. Why would you mock infertile women. And to be quite honest why would you DARE to mock a group of millions of hormonal women that are all on drugs that make them even MORE hormonal. Who in there right mind would mess with us?!?!?!?!?!? That's like signing your own death warrent right there. I mean, I have only been on crazy hormone drugs for less than a month and I already feel like I can't control my emotions anymore.
So to add insult to injury, people are commenting on this campaign saying that it is pathetic to have a national infertility awareness week because there are 7 billion people already in the world so there is no reason for the infertile community to be upset that they can't add a few more. They are saying that we should just adopt. But why is it the infertiles responsibility to adopt the children that need homes? Fertile people are just as capable. I'm not against adoption at all, I would like to adopt someday. But is it SOOOOOOO wrong that I want to know what it feels like to have a baby move in me and have a little human that has my eyes and Jared's smile?!?! I DON'T THINK SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would like to know what IDIOT came to the Peta meeting that morning and said " I think the world is overpopulated, lets target the people that are contributing the LEAST to the overpopulation". GOOD GRIEF!
Alright now that I've calmed down I can give an update on myself. I have been taking progesterone for a couple days now and I have the side effect of major mood swings (gasp). So I've been trying to keep a low profile since I basically will get angry at the drop of a hat.Please see previous paragraphs for examples. lol. My temperatures are looking amazing, not that it matters right now because I'm technically way to early to be pregnant anyway. I did a stupid thing today and I looked at my due date if I were to get pregnant this month,
December 25! My stomach went into my throat when I saw that. That would be the best Christmas ever. Please God, all I want for Christmas this year is a baby. Although if we don't conceive this month I would be okay too. Christmas time would be extremely difficult if we were to have a baby because Jared's birthday is the 18th, our anniversary is the 22nd, and then there is Christmas, so to add a baby's birthday to the mix would be pretty stressful. (this is my way of trying to convince myself I won't be upset if we don't get pregnant this month) I MIGHT take a summer break from fertility treatments. I will be getting an IUI next month if this month doesn't work, but after that I don't know. During the summer I'm not as depressed about being infertile because I can lay out at the pool for hours and just forget about life for awhile. I want to be able to save up for an injection cycle which is $1500 and summer seems like the best time to do it.

Crosshairs. YAY YAY YAY

                                                               
So for those of you that don't know what crosshairs are, I chart my basal temperature every morning before I get up. I take my temp at  6:00 am and then add that temperature to an online chart I have. That chart then analyzes when I ovulate based on my temperatures. When ovulation occurs, a womans resting temperature shoots up and stays up until she is about to get her period. Crosshairs just show the day of ovulation.  That was your physiology lesson for the day. So let me back up. Sunday I got my iui, and afterwards I was in a huge funk because I ended up getting another positive ovulation test after I got back from the iui, which could have meant that I wasn't going to ovulate until the next day. Normal sperm can live for up to 4 days, but washed sperm like the kind they use in iui's only live for 24 hours. Some can live a little longer, but they aren't really all that good after 24 hours. I was convinced I timed the iui completely wrong and I just wasted $300. Well I just took my latest temp this morning and plugged it into fertility friend and I got crosshairs!!! Not just any crosshairs though, I got crosshairs on the day I got my iui!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I timed it right! Yay! I believe I ovulated later Sunday night which isn't PERFECT timing since they would like to do an iui 6 hours before or after ovulation, but it is as perfect as we could get since they only do the iui's in the mornings. I have been in pain for the last few days though. My left ovary hurts so bad. I guess I ovulated on the left side and since I'm in so much pain that either means I had a super strong ovulation or I ovulated more then one egg. Don't freak out family, that doesn't necessarily mean twins, that just means that I have a much better chance at actually conceiving this month. I feel confident though that I did everything possible this month to make a baby. If it doesn't happen this month, I will keep doing what I'm doing. Even with perfect timing my chances of conceiving are only about 10% every month, which is half of what chance a fertile person has every month. I just want SOMETHING to work this time. Even if I don't get my take home baby, I would love to at least know that my ovaries are good for something.

Round 2 here we go

                                                               
Quick update. I started taking ovulation tests yesterday and I got an almost positive this morning. The problem is that my test was "almost" positive which means I should consider it negative, but then this afternoon the second line was barely there. I called my doctor and told her the situation and she said to schedule IUI #2 for tomorrow. So we will go in for round 2 at 8:45 tomorrow morning. I am pretty nervous cause I feel like I'm in the dark as to if I'm timing this right, but we will see. I am on cycle day 11 and that is extremely early to be getting a positive, but I was on clomid and that will make ovulation sooner. I am feeling some cramping tonight so that's a good sign. Here's hoping that I will catch the egg. Clomid makes you ovulate sooner as well as ovulate more eggs so you would think that by placing 70 million sperm into the laps of a few eggs I would easily be able to get pregnant with at least ONE baby. Sperm meet egg, egg meet sperm. Good grief it shouldn't be THAT difficult.

Dear sweet clomid, I'm NOT going to miss you

                                                                       

Tonight is my last night of clomid and boy am I glad!. The first few days I had no side effects but last night I had clomid induced rage. Poor Jared was the victim of that and to make it worse, he laughed at me for my crazy mood swings. Thinking back on it I'm sure it was pretty funny to see me fly off the handle when all he was doing was sticking his tongue out at me. Then all during the night I had hot flashes. Today I'm extremely dizzy, I had a very hard time getting home from work because I was scared I would pass out right there on the highway. I'm curious about whats going on down there cause my ovaries have been killing me! Hopefully lots of eggs developing, but not TOO many. As much as my mom would like it, I would not be able to handle having 5 kids at once. My next IUI should be at the beginning of next week.
I'm going to attend an infertility conference April 30th and I'm pretty excited. It will be sooo nice to be around a bunch of people going through the same thing I am. For your reading pleasure I want you all to look at this link. It is the resolve website for people going through infertility and this is for family members. It gives a brief description of how it feels to go through infertility and what to say to the infertile family member. I think infertility is the hardest disease for family members and friends to deal with cause most of them can't possibly understand the pain associated with it. Many try to say the right things, and end up saying something hurtful. I don't get mad at the hurtful comments because I know most people don't know what to say and just don't understand. Anyway here is the link. There is 3 topics to read so I'll post all 3

And the verdict is...

                                                                    
Yep that's right. My first IUI failed. We both expected it though. It was a last minute deal so not a big chance it would work. One thing that was new was that I had symptoms of low progesterone this cycle. To get pregnant and maintain a pregnancy, most doctors like to see a luteal phase of 12 or more days. If any spotting or a period comes before that, then that means low progesterone. I had spotting for 4 days so I get the pleasure of starting my first round of progesterone supplements this cycle as well as clomid. (tmi? Ha! Nothing is tmi anymore when it comes to infertility. lol) I start clomid Friday and I'm kinda anxious since clomid has some side effects of extreme mood swings. Poor Jared. I'm on the lowest dose possible though so hopefully I won't have the side effects. So basically I start the clomid friday and stay on it for 5 days. Then I wait for a positive ovulation test, I get the iui, and then start progesterone until I either get a positive pregnancy test or go 15 days without a positive test.
I had MORE insurance problems today. Story of my life right now. They denied a claim for a diagnostic x-ray. I called them asking why they denied it. They said "well it says right here that we cover diagnostic only for infertility" So I responded "alright, let me read this claim off to you. It says right here DIAGNOSTIC x-ray. So please tell me why it wasn't covered". I need to take an insurance class cause clearly I'm doing their job for them. Jared is going to take care of it tomorrow hopefully.

Still Waiting....

So a lot of people have asked me for updates. My sister even asked me for an update 2 days after my iui. lol. Well the update is that...I'm still waiting. Sorry guys, but pregnancy doesn't happen overnight. Well it kinda does, but it won't show up on a test for another two weeks. :) This whole process is a waiting game. Waiting to get a lh surge, waiting to ovulate, waiting for a temp rise, and then waiting to test. It really is a boring process.  So there is nothing really to report yet. I'm not looking forward to testing so I'm going to wait till the last minute before I have to test. I wish there was a sure sign that a woman was pregnant other then taking that evil test! I hate searching for that darn pink line that never shows up but seems to mess with my mind.

MORE insurance problems and other ramblings

                                                                 

Okay for those that don't know yet, I've been at war with my insurance company. My insurance covers 90% of diagnostic testing for infertility, well lately they have covered 0% and I have made 4 phone calls to them already trying to get things straightened out. So today I got ANOTHER explanation of benefits saying that my claims have been denied. It will get straightened out eventually, but I just wish I could stop getting those stupid EOB forms cause they just create more worry and stress in my life. I'm so glad that I'm done with insurance for now. They don't cover any of my treatment and for right now I'm done with the diagnostic tests.
On to the good stuff. A couple months ago I felt led to read Dave Ramseys book and start his program. I started working on my emergency fund and then I found out I was going to start treatment sooner then expected. I didn't think we would have the money to do 6 rounds of treatment like the doctor wants to do. But I sat down and really went over finances and I've realized that somehow I have enough to pay cash for treatments and then probably do one round of injectibles and a monitored IUI. Injectibles means shots to stimulate egg growth and then shots to release the eggs. And when I do that I have to be monitored by occational ultrasounds so I don't produce to many eggs and end up as the next octomom. lol. So I guess I should be trusting God a little bit more and turning all my concerns all over to him cause I don't know how I'm ending up with the extra money to do these treatments so he must be taking control somehow.

On a Good Note

I'm gonna end this night on a good note. I was surfing the internet and found a conversation between a fertility specialist and a group of patients. One of the members asked " Are some of us with unexplained infertility possibly normal, it just takes longer to conceive?" The doctor replied "Yes. Unexplained infertility is referred by some as subfertility. The purpose of therapy is to shorten the time to conception"
So I might be subfertile. I like the sound of that. Gives me hope. Good night.

So many thoughts

I can't write everything down cause my thoughts are so jumbled right now. First of all I'm discouraged about the iui. I mean if it hasn't happened naturally after 2+ years, what makes me think it will happen now? I told Jared that next time he needs to make sure his sperm brings my egg flowers cause obviously my eggs have very high standards. I'm in a give up kinda mood right now. I do feel better, however, knowing that my RE is gonna take care of me and she will do everything she can to make this happen, even if it means we will be eating beans and water for the rest of our lives. lol
One good thing about infertility (I guess once you fail long enough at something, you can start to see the good in situations) is that I KNOW I'm going to be an incredible mom! If I hadn't gone through infertility, I wouldn't have a clue how to raise a child. This journey has opened my eyes to others parenting styles and techniques. I watch people and I take notes on what I will and won't do with my kids. I know that they will act up, but I can just think back to the long road it took to get them here, and I will be so much more forgiving. I'm going to write a letter to future Megan just to remind her of the struggles she went through. I don't want to dwell on the hard times, but when I have a hard time with my children, I want to be able to be reminded of how much I went through to get them here. Nothing is worse then infertility.

I'm Blogging!

                                                                             

Okay so I never thought I would start blogging. I now that I'm starting to loose my mind with baby fever, I needed a way to sort out my thoughts. In the back of my mind, I kinda knew this was going to be a difficult journey. I was hoping I was wrong, but I couldn't have been more right. Difficult is an understatement. The first month we started trying, two girls at work ended up pregnant. Those were the worst 9 months of my life. I felt like everywhere I turned people were reminding me that we were failing so miserably at conceiving. After about 1 year of trying, we decided to take a 5 month "break". Basically not trying, but not preventing either. We got better insurance and then started trying again. We are getting serious about this now. I am ready to be a mom!
In December we started infertility testing. My hubby passed his s/a with flying colors. I had 2 blood tests done and my numbers were perfect. Then came the dreaded hsg. Boy did that hurt! But I passed it. I did the hsg 3/3/11. We met with my RE again to discuss treatment options and she wanted to start off doing 1/2 a pill of clomid next month along with an iui. Since the hsg is supposed to make me more fertile, we decided to do an unmedicated iui this month, so we did that 3/9/10.
Fast forward to today. I'm feeling less confident about these iui's. I mean the success rate is so low, I'm having a horrible feeling that we are headed towards ivf. I have been so hormonal today and ended up getting so mad at Jared for not bringing a can of chicken broth home, that I ended up backing up into his car as I huffed off to the grocery store. (oops) So that's pretty much where I'm at right now.
