Tougher than solving a Rubik's Cube

Dr. Haas and I had another of our exciting and "predictable" visits today. By predictable, I mean completely baffling and mind-numbingly surprising. I took in my lovely temperature chart which he was not pleased with, and we talked about my OPT's which again he was not loving.

Back into the stirrups... So, we proceeded on with my ultrasound. He found a 14 mm follicle in my left ovary which isn't big enough to write home about. Next, we looked at microscope slides containing my cervical mucus. (Sorry you couldn't all be there for that). Again, my body threw this poor man off course because it was fernlike suggesting that ovulation had not occured, but there were white cells suggesting it had.

Final verdict in this long boring saga: My labwork just came back and my progesterone is really low which means that I have not ovulated. My estrogen is high which is good, meaning hopefully that little scrawny follicle will be growing up big and strong over the next few days.

What does this mean for me? Another doc's appointment in the morning (my day OFF) to get another cervical mucus check, ultrasound and probably labwork (he can't help himself). Luckily the man will be out of town this weekend or else I would be going in every flippin' day. I'll let you know how tomorrow goes. My guess is just more confusing news!!!

  1. I'm sorry love! I hate all the guess work and the confusion that goes with IF! I wish there really was a website where you could buy a sweet baby and have it shipped in 3-5 days!

    My body is out of commision too! I don't know if I ovulated or not and rather than waiting, I started taking provera (I'm on day 3...7 more lovely days and then off to clomid land!) I want to buy one of those fancy ovulation kits that are digital.

Meet Our Little Miracle, Paisley Kate

The post I have been waiting 2 years to write is finally here and I can't really believe it. On Saturday, I woke up at 8:30 a.m. with BAD contractions. By the 2nd one, I knew I was in "real" labor. They were SO different than the braxton-hicks. I got out of bed and decided that I'd take a bath, until water ran down both legs. The pain after that got pretty unbearable immediately and I was having contractions every 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. So, I called Aaron at work to tell him it was "the big day". He decided I was kidding until I nearly leapt through the phone to wring his neck. :) We got to the hospital an hour later and I was dilated to a 4 and having very active contractions. They quickly got me moved to an L&D room. I got my epidural ( AMAZING - we'll talk about this in its own post soon) at a 6 and then my doctor broke my water. (Apparently at home, it had just leaked a pocket of fluid). After he broke my water, labor started picking up ...

I'm Going to Let You in on a Little Secret

My dear blog readers, Those of you who know me well know that I do not keep secrets. It's actually physically impossible for me to keep a secret. So, it's going to really surprise many of you to find out that I've been staying silent about something pretty big. So, without further ado, I'd like to introduce you to the little miracle that came into our lives 13 weeks ago: We wanted to keep it to ourselves for a while to make sure things went okay this time. It's been a very terrifying 13 weeks and we are just now starting to feel that things could actually go well. We feel incredibly blessed to be pregnant with this baby and we are so grateful for every minute. To my friends who are still battling infertility , I'm not even sure where to start. You've been there with me through it all. You've held my hand and given me a shoulder to cry on when times are tough. You always know the right things to say because you've been there before. And you pray and ...
It has been WAY too long since I’ve posted here and I’m eager to rejoin the blogging world!!!  The kids are 5 and 7 and super fun, I’m working at a medspa doing injectables and lasers full time and I’m 14 years in to marriage now.   But here’s where life has now lead me!  I have been driven to do a medical mission trip over the past few weeks and I’m very set on Haiti.  Yes, they are currently having a temper tantrum over the increased fuel prices which they definitely can’t afford, but that country needs help!!!!!   So, I’m here to tell my story of how this all goes!  I’ll need lots of prayers and support in this crazy endeavor!
