The start of a new cycle

Today is the 5th day of my cycle. Yesterday I went to the doctors and I had an ultrasound and bloodwork done. The bloodwork all came back normal and my ultrasound was fine as well however they did notice a very small cyst. It was 15mm and I was told it's nothing to worry about. It's not uncommon to have remainders from previous cycles. So I quit worrying about it. Tonight I will be starting the 100mg of clomid for the next 5 days. I've been told that many people that have been on the clomid have noticed dramatic side effects. I'm prepared and know what can happen and I'm hoping it won't with me. That's pretty much it with me! Dave had a nice getaway to Vegas and I'm glad he's back home. We can't believe how fast this summer is going, August is going to be over soon.

Back to square one

I went to the RE this morning for my beta reading and as much as I didn't want to hear this it came back that I wasn't pregnant. How frustrating is this going cycle to cycle and nothing good is coming out of it. Dave is in Vegas and the whole day since he's been gone I've been so sad and just crying! I can't help it it's so very frustrating. I never realized how hard it is to conceive a baby. I never imagined this! I thought it would be so easy, guess I thought wrong. Atleast my RE talked to me and she has a plan in place. This coming up cycle I'm going to do the clomid again but she's increasing the dose to 100 mg from 50 mg on the 5th day of taking the clomid she's going to have me take 2mg of estrace or something like that anyways, it's supposed to help the lining, I will still do the ovidrel shot and we will do our second IUI. I'm trying to look ahead and cheer up it's just so hard being alone! That's why I can't help the crying. Sorry this update is so short but I really don't have much to say! Hope all is well with everyone!

Sorry, it's been a long time since I've updated

Well it has definitely been a long time since I've updated. This year has been going so quickly, I can't believe we are in August already and summer just showed up for the first time last week.

I know it's been awhile since I've updated but I'll try my best to be better at this. Back in May I went to Texas to visit my in-laws and my new beautiful Niece Isabelle. I had a lot of fun, it was pretty hot out there but it was great to see everyone. I was gone for a week and Dave was a bit lonely I'd say. It's ok, I understand he really didn't have much to do without me around. I did miss him but needed to get away for a bit. While I was out in Texas Dave bought a new car, I did know he was looking but I didn't know he'd get one as quickly as he did. It's a 2006 Trailblazer, not quite sure on the year but the rest is correct. It's comfy I like it and we really don't drive it too much except on off days. Dave takes his work truck to and from work so that helps save on gas with us.

As you know Dave and I have been trying to start a family which has been very stressful. In May we started to see a fertility Dr who had diagnosed us with unexplained infertility. I guess in a way it's wonderful knowing there is nothing wrong with us, but in a way it's difficult too because I am getting so tired of seeing negative pregnancy results. My first cycle we tried clomid with ovidrel shot, unfortunately that didn't work. I talked with my Doctor and she told us she thinks it would increase our chances if we did the clomid/ovidrel shot with IUI (intra uterine insemination). I did the IUI on July 31st and tomorrow August 12th I go in for a pregnancy test. I'm trying not to look into the symptoms so much just incase I'm not pregnant. This has been a very frustrating journey and I'm hoping that this will be it.

Tomorrow Dave leaves for Vegas, he's only gone for 2 nights which is more than enough for over there. I got my time away in May so now it's his turn. I wish he was going to be around when I get my results tomorrow good or bad. But he will know becuase I'm not telling anyone else until he knows.

Dave's back has been not feeling the greatest he's been out of work all week and has been going to see a chiropracter. I hope it feels better soon, I don't like when he's uncomfortable.

I will try to update tomorrow after I get my results back from the pregnancy test. I can't believe summer is just about over. This year is going so crazily fast!
