Okay ladies I need some help!

So lets start with the fact that I am spotting and waiting for CD1 to show up literally at any hour now… I never spot days before most the time I don’t even notice if I spot because it’s that quick of spot to start most of the time… So I figured I’d go pick up my blood results that I did on Day 3 of my last cycle so that I can turn them into my fertility clinic when I go in for the sonohystogram in the next 10 days…

The problem I can see my hormone levels but have no idea what they mean or if they are good or bad for Day 3 of the cycle… IF anyone could help me decipher these I’d be really really greatful 10 days seems like a really long time to wait when I’ve been waiting for 3 weeks to get these results…

AMH-> 4.74

FSH -> 8.8

Prolactin-> 6.3

TSH-> 2.18

Estradiol -> 30

Okay so what does this mean? What should these things be at? Help!!! I feel like I’m looking at a trig test… um the answer is pi?

*UPDATE* Period is here started at like 5:15pm and of course that means my clinic was closed so I will just have to call them in the morning and get things scheduled for the sono! I’m so excited that we are finally doing something! Another 10 weeks until we can start our cycle at a minimum so hopefully DH gets everything in there in time so that we can stay on track!

CD 31

Well obviously my cycle still hasn’t started yet so I’m just waiting on the plus side last cycle was super early so hopefully this means it is getting back to normal in that case I should be starting any day! But I’m happy it’s getting back to normal not just for regular reasons but because that will put cycle day 5-10 outside of this weekend so I shouldn’t have to take any days off work to get it done!!! woot woot!

I also got my big essay for my english class done! I have volunteering and my classroom observations this week on top of my normal class work load but I should be able to get it done as long as I stick to my schedule this week!!!

I even got my taxes done and my kitchen cleaned today!!!  Woohoo for being productive 3 more weeks of crazy busy classes! Last weeks paycheck sucked since I got an extra day off last week so hopefully I don’t get any more random days off from here til May! Still everything is coming together slowly but surely! in like 5-6 weeks we will be even closer I can’t wait! Things are looking good for us to start the IVF cycle during my May! I honestly hope it’s near the end of May just to push or possible due date that much further from december but at this point I really dont care as long as we are starting in May! 10 more weeks til may that will zoom by especially with being so busy with work and classes!

I can’t wait we are getting closer! Finally we are getting closer!!! Hurry up and start cycle I want to get my sono done and talk to the Dr. again!!!

CD 27! First time I’ve looked forward to a cycle starting…

Man oh man we are getting close to that sonohystogram! I think I’m on CD 27 I changed phones this month and somehow couldn’t sync my calander even though I go everything else to sync… and of course i have no clue where my old phone is… But I’m pretty sure I started on january 25 I know it was a sunday and it had started before cycle day 30 last month but I’m pretty sure that was the 25th… which would put me on CD 27 today and would explain why I’m bloated and my boobs are swollen I swear they go up almost a whole size when my period is on the way… I’m sure I’m gonna have giant pregnancy boobs which should make the husband happy but I wont allow him to touch when they are swollen it just hurts to much! Ugh I just know it is going to show up while I’m at work I hate that I’ll have to make sure I pack some tampons and tylonal or work is going to be hell…

Soon I get my sono somewhere between CD 5-10 done it feels like one more step and I’m happy that we are finally taking steps at all even though I know we have a long way to go still! I really hope that all is well and we don’t have anymore roadblocks!!! DH has been calling the dr. but hasn’t been able to get an apt. today they said they’d call him back but they never did…

As soon as my cycle starts I’ll be happy to call the fertility clinic and I’ll be even happier to go in again I haven’t been into the clinic since last June obviously we’ve kept in touch and I’m still a patient but it has been so very long!!! My dr. always boosts my confidence and since it’s been so loooong I could really use that boost! So lets hope that everything looks good at the sono!  I can’t believe we have been on this journey for 5 years!!!

Next week I will have so much on my plate it’s going to be hard to get it all accomplished! I have 15 hours of observing a kindergarten class for my education class… I also have 2 huge essays to read 6 chapters 4 tests 3 discussion forums to attend and now I will most likely need to do my sono as well…  It is going to be a crazy busy as all hell week oh and I will need to pick up a copy of my results from my blood work to take to the clinic as well! It is going to be extremely crazy week! Maybe I’ll get some homework in before I go to work so that Sunday I can get a jump start on the week by hitting it hard on my essays! I will try but it’s going to be rough with having to work a late grave shift all weekend I should be getting off work around 4 am and I start my shifts at 8pm…this is going to be crazy! Tomorrow I’m suppose to go meet my observing teacher to set up our schedule for next week!!!

Sorry this is so long and babbling I just have a lot on my mind!

Anything I should know about the sonohystogram? is it uncomfortable or is it like a regular pap type uncomfortable?  Any advice on what to expect?

Tralalala….

Thats where my mind has been to day! in LALA land… I’m having a hard time focusing today I had a bug over the weekend and I think I’m still shaking it and I get super moody when I’m sick pregnancy is not going to be fun for Red lol…

Schoolwork wasn’t productive today… last week even with my lack of motivation I got everything done…  I’m  at the half way point with two of my classes and I’m just really stressed I didn’t realize I overscheduled and now I’m paying for it but in 5 weeks things will calm down so thats nice I’ll get everything done it’s just stressful!!!

On the plus side as part of my present to myself for getting my truck paid off I am buying a new couch which is awesome cause reality is our couch now sucks bad! We got it from hubbys aunt when we first moved in together and it has paid it’s dues… Now I know this may sound silly but I wanted a couch before we got pregnant… because my MIL is in a wheelchair and living with us so we gave her the master bedroom and we added on a room for us but we share the other bathroom with our boys and it’s on the opposite end of the house from our bedroom… if I end up on bedrest or with bad morning sickness or constantly peeing I’m going to want to be closer to the bathroom which would put me on the couch and I would not sleep on the couch we have now… So this was one of my big goals to get before we start the IVF stuff… Today we picked out our couch and tomorrow morning I’ll be picking it up!!! I’m so fricken excited!!!

As soon as I get the living room rearranged tomorrow I need to get on my homework and bust butt and get as much as I possibly can! Thursday I want to try to get down to my school that I’ll be observing for 10 hours but it just depends how much work I can get done between tuesday and wednesday worst case I go down friday and meet the teacher and set up our schedule for the time requirements and then I also need to ask her if she’ll let me volunteer an extra 10 hours for my service learning… on top of this I have to construct an extensive research report and this is only one of my classes!

I get Saturday off this weekend which is nice for valentines day were planning a nice little family day out riding dirt bikes well the boys will be I will be soaking up the nice weather reading a book and drinking some Redds apple ale 🙂 I got a cute little lingerie outfit and some rose petals to decorate the bed with and surprise Red! Get a little extra romance going on! I’ve been trying to get extra bedroom time in since I know once were in the IVF game thats going to change a bit so I’m trying to enjoy as much as I can now!!! just sometimes with the stress of everything going on it’s easy to lose track of time and end up with not enough time to actually do anything I really need to figure out how to balance all this!

Hence why once my contract at work is up I’m going to quit and go full time student and just focus on getting pregnant!

Motivation please…

This week I have no idea why but I have had a hard time waking up on time and getting my schoolwork done in a timely manner! I really need to get a grip if it’s this hard now imagine what it will be like with a baby to take care of all day too!

I keep telling myself I will have plenty of time to get my crap together but this week has been a struggle I’m a little behind where I would like to be at this point in the week! 2 of my classes are double the work so it’s like I’m taking 6 classes right now… I didn’t mean to over schedule myself I just didn’t realize 2 of my classes were condensed courses and I really didn’t want to have any withdrawals on my record! But it’s okay after this week I will be half way done with those 2 courses and then when they are finished things will ease up a bit…  So it’s rough right now hopefully tomorrow I can complete my philosophy class for the week and focus on this huge research paper that I will have to turn the outline in at the end of the week…this is like the biggest project for the entire class and it will have to be 8-10 pages long… I’m just haven’t found the research that I would like to have by now… Guess I’m going to have to dig a little deeper… but hopefully I can get all that done tomorrow so that Sunday I have my easy class to get out of the way! I need some serious motivation!

Other than that I’m still waiting on my results for my blood work I will call next week to check on it and get copies of everything to put in my file at the fertility clinic… I have nothing scheduled until my next cycle and since I’m on like CD 12 I have a couple weeks before I will have to worry about the sonohystogram (spelling?) hopefully thats enough time to get hubby to stop procrastinating and get his blood work done!

I am really happy though this week I got to pay off my pathfinder! I’m so happy to have that expense off my mind!
