CD5 - Forward On We Go

It's been awhile. I've been OK, just really busy. Work is kicking my butt and I'm trying to get stuff done around the house too.

AF showed up on Saturday afternoon, which meant Sunday was really CD1, according to my doctor's rules. I went in for a baseline ultrasound and bloodwork on Tuesday morning and the needles commenced that evening. I go back for u/s and bw tomorrow (Friday).

Tom's going to be out of town Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, so we're hoping we can hold off on IUI until Thursday. Please everyone keep your fingers crossed for me on that one. I usually go early, so it's looking like it's doable and I let the doctor's office know. We'll see how that goes. We also discussed that we'll do another back-to-back IUI cycle, so there's two days in a row we'll be doing IUI. I kind of like the idea, making sure the odds are really good. That's really all I'm fighting here are the odds. Let's make them work in our favor.

My back is doing a lot better this month. There's no monstrous pain all the time when I'm sitting. I've had no need to try to pop pain killers to keep me less stressed about the pain. That was all I could do last month.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed here.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you Heather. Let's hope Thursday is the day!

I'm glad to hear your back is feeling better. No fun being in constant pain.

The Boys Are Here!!!

I'm trying to post this from the hospital Internet access, but I will be able to do this announcement better justice from home, but it is a very odd, but short birth story. They came so fast and furious there was nothing anyone could do. But the boys are in the NICU and doing well. They were born at 31 weeks 5 days gestation on 5/29/2009. I will post their names and information (no comments on names unless you like them, LOL): Baby A: Thomas Michael III born at 2:09 AM Weight - 3 lbs, 15 1/2 oz Length - 18 inches Baby B: Liam Jonathan born at 2:20 AM Weight - 4 lbs, 1.4 oz Length - 17 1/4 inches long Just a word on their health, Thomas's breathing is doing well and he did not need any help in that area so far. I had two steroid shots from when I was admitted until before they were born, so I think that helped. Liam was intubated and given surfactant when he arrived in the NICU and is now on CPAP, although he can't stand having the tubes in his nose. Both are under t...

IVF#2 - It Worked!!!!

OK all my Internet bloggy friends!!!! I'm pregnant with the best initial beta I've ever had!!! Could that mean multiples? We'll find out over the next week or two for sure. My initial beta was 660! I can't believe it! I'm so excited I want to cry. I was so nervous. I didn't want to test before I went there because of all the hcg boosts I had. And I was really starting to doubt if it would really work out or if I was going to have a major disappointment today. I go back on Thursday for a repeat beta and we'll see if we're doubling or better. Leo made a prediction last night of twins. I wonder if he's right. Of course we just want at least one healthy baby, but healthy boy/girl twins would be like winning the lottery. Of course we'll want to win the lottery to support them, but I'm like Scarlett O'Hara in that perspective - "I'll think about that tomorrow!"
