Update....

Okay so I haven't been very talkative on here lately because I didn't want to be disappointed again and have to see the pity looks from friends and family when they see me.... I think that all the concern is wonderful and I truly appreciate it but some of the looks I get are saddening.... But I decided that the looks are not that of disappointment or pity, but it's the looks of concern from truly concern people! So I'm back!!!

On Saturday morning we went in for our monthly monitoring @ 7:30... The technician was so cold and anti social, not sure if it was because Michelle came in with me, She look back when I was waiting for Michelle like who is she?!?!? So she starts looking and she's not saying anything (not like the other techs before) and she didn't let me see the screen! So I asked her what she was seeing and she said 1 follicle and then I had to ask her the size and she told me 25. Then she tells me the nurse will call me... So the nurse calls me @ 10:30 and tells me that I only had 1 mature follicle (25mm) for it being CD 8... So the nurse tells me to use the Ovidrel that night and inseminate Sunday and Monday..... So I called the KD and told him and he thought we should inseminate everyday this week... So we have inseminated everyday this week so far.... I was wondering before should I use the CBEFM or the OPK and I decided that I would and for the last 2 days I have gotten a smiley face on the OPK and the CBEFM had shown the "egg" for Sunday and Monday but today went back to the 2nd notch.... So I don't know what I should think of that... I am not stressing over the outcome because like I said before God will make it happen when it's suppose to....

CBEFM

Okay so today is CD 6, and my CBEFM was signaling for me to take a pee sample... I did and of course it didn't show anything, I think the monitor is still getting to know my body... But I got to thinking do I really need to do the OPK or CBEFM this month since we decided to use the Ovidrel (oh yeah I didn't mention that before, huh?). I figured that since we are not using the Menopur we should use the Ovidrel since it triggers ovulation and it would give us a better window of opportunity (meaning giving us a clearer picture of when the egg is released)... Because if calculations are correct I didn't ovulate til CD 16??? I came up with that because of the day my new cycle started.... And remember I said that your cycle starts 14 days after you ovulate.... But I have been thinking that I have a late luteal cycle...

So I go in for monthly monitoring on Saturday morning... I can't wait to see how the medicine is working for me...

Testing...

So woke up @ 7:30 with the dying urge to use the bathroom, but of course I have to open 2 pee sticks before I can release!! So, I finally get them both open as I'm hopping around by the toilet. So I relax and saturate both stick so now I have to watch blinking symbols for 3-5 minutes as they read my pee... So today I decide I would just sit on the toilet and wait because when I get up I always forget to look right away, and I'm thinking that's why I can't get positive results!! (but of course that's not the truth) I'm sitting there for what seems like forever! And then the big fat "O", when you what to see a big fat smiley face!! So of course I go to thinking "What's wrong with me?" And the other one didn't change from yesterday, but that's expected....

So we're having lunch with some of our friends from church who's been where we are now and they succeed!! Hoping to get some good information and advise from them... Didn't tell you that last night they gave us enough OPK and pregnancy tests to have an army! And some great books!! I tell you that "our community/family" is the best!!! So meeting in Royal Oak for lunch can't wait!!!

Girls Day...

So today I was hanging out with my niece.. We woke up @ 8 am and watched the Sprout channel, too much singing if you ask me... So then we decided to go have breakfast, pancakes was the consensus hers with chocolate chips. Then to the bookstore to read books and do some of her homework.. Finally to end the day we went to the movies... While we we're @ the bookstore she asked me why I want to have a baby??? My answer was because I really want a daughter and also because I want another chance @ having that feeling of giving unconditional love and receiving it. Even though I didn't think she really understood my answer, she came back and said "you have me so you can stop trying now!" and she's only 5!!

Also, so remember last month I brought the CBEFM, been wanting to use it since I got it but the rules say you have to wait until the monitor tells you to use it, well this morning it said use me!!! And I was so happy to pee on the stick!! you would've thought it said I won the lottery!!! Still haven't figured it out but I can't wait to do it again tomorrow....


Okay so let's see what my next 2 days of meds do for me....
