Support group

If any of you know of a group that I could join for multiple miscarriages along with diagnosed immune issues, would you let me know? Since I have been newly diagnosed with all of the immune stuff I would really love to find a place to get support and information.

Thanks!

Funny Infertility Friday

Yes last night at the Rocky Horror Show we did the time warp?  Brad (Asshole) Janet ( Slut). It was fantastic, nasty and just plain freaking awesome!

Here are some pics during intermission as you can take pics of the set. We got in trouble :)

This performance was done at the smaller theater in town and only has 250 seats. You are very up close and personal.

A day full of rockstars and transvestites

Well lets start off with my iui today. We walked into the clinic and were called back by my favorite nurse within five minutes. I asked her if Dr. H had been practicing because of all the hard transfers we've had to date. She laughed and said she was going to give it a shot today because Dr. H was gone and she had back up just in case. I won't lie, I was pretty upset. These IUI and IVF transfers usually cause me to bleed, there is a lot of pain and it takes forever to get the catheter in my uterus. She came in the room and asked if I was ready and reluctantly I said yes. We asked about the sperm count and she replied that we had 56 million with 91% swimming around super fast. Score!  Then the most amazing thing happened, the catheter went into place within a few minutes. There it was on the u/s and then we saw the beautiful white blob of sperms go right into place. No pain, no bleeding and under five minutes.  We were all applauding and smiling. Being so happy, Nurse M printed off a picture to show Dr. H and said she was going to brag all day long at the clinic. When we were leaving all the nurses said they heard that nurse M did a fantastic job. She is hired! So today has been a huge success all around.

Now on to transvestites, LOL

My boss gave me two tickets for the Rocky Picture Horror at the Lyric Theater tonight! Al and I are going to have a nice dinner and then go to the show. Any RHPS fans out there?

And before I forget today the two awards for rock star of the day goes to .......................

My DH Al for his stellar sperm
AND
Nurse M for doing the best transfer ever, ever, ever............

Update on IUI

Well I just got a call from my clinic. Guess this may not be my cycle. My progesterone levels were 1.10 so my IUI has been moved to 11 am tomorrow. I am a little concerned that my E2 levels are only 464 and  I have four mature follicles. I have to go home and take another 100 IU of Follistim and do the trigger.

Some times the wonky cycles are the ones that work, right!

Cd12

Well I just got back from the clinic. Looks like we have 4 mature follicles to work with this month. Of course lefty is the winner winner chicken dinner with having 3 of the 4 follicles. Righty, well as always I don't have much to say about her :) I trigger tonight at 11 and my IUI is scheduled for Friday at 11 am.

To be very honest, I am not very sure this will work (at least) this month. I just started all my new medications and I am sure they all need time to work effectively. Regardless I am just over the moon happy to be trying again. I know it is all going to work out.

Updates & FB Group

Just wanted to let all my group members know that there is an issue going on with facebook this morning. It won't let anyone post in the group. I have sent a message to them and hopefully it will be taken care of quickly. 

Today was my CD10 u/s. I have one Lone Ranger follicle trying to mess up the party for the rest of my guests. It is measuring at 16 and the doctor thinks I could ovulate before our iui on Friday. He doesn't want to trigger me yet because the other four are only around 13mm. He wants me to start using my ovulation strips tonight . I go back in for another u/s on Wednesday and should trigger that evening if I haven't already ovulated. I guess at this point it is really a waiting game. I don't want to spend the money on iui if I only have one follicle that will be mature. Of course this cycle won't be a bust either way. If I ovulate early then we will just do it the natural way and wait for next month. Still feeling hopeful either way :)

Asshole of the year award

Today I should get the asshole of the year award, maybe even asshole of the century award. Al had Porter put down this morning. I can tell you that my heart is truly broken and I feel like such a jerk. I know in my heart it was the right thing, but I just keep thinking that we took a life and that feeling is the worst feeling ever. He trusted us as his caretakers, he loved us. I can't help but think that if I never would have moved in with Al and brought my dogs, Porter would still be alive. Earlier this week after our huge fight Al said he called the vet and was going to take Porter in Saturday. I broke down and we had a very long talk on any other possible options. Since he was 13 years old (which I thought he was 10) and he was becoming more agitated easily, also startled easily. Al was afraid since we were keeping all the dogs separated and Cierra was feeding them in the afternoons, there could be something set him off and she would be caught in the middle. I told him to think about it and I would support whatever decision was made. I know this broke his heart and I know this had to be one of the toughest decisions he has ever made. So today I sit here knowing I am the asshole wife that put all of this in motion.

Because of me, a dog lost his life. That is not a very good feeling to have.

Cycle update:

Today is CD7 and day five of Femara. I had my u/s this morning. My lining is 5.5, right ovary had (4) measurable follicles around 6-8mm. Left ovary  had (5) measurable follicles around 9 mm. Start Follistim tonight and next u/s on Monday. Looks like lucky IUI#6 will be around next Thursday. Excited about the possibilities for the first time in a long time. I also know that if this cycle doesn't work there are more to come within the next year.

I foresee baby Rapp in 2014!

American Horror Story

I am a HUGE American Horror Story fan.... Jessica Lang is such an amazing and talented actress.  I know this show is not for everyone as the episodes are on the dark side. This season is Coven and has been the best season so far. One of the "good" witches in this season has infertility. They have tried clomid and other drugs to get pregnant but it has been a no go. Her husband suggested she try some magic to conceive. I am so excited to see what kind of baby will be born. Also Kathy Bates is playing Delphine LaLaurie. If you are not familiar with her, she was a serial killer back in the mid 1800's and killed/tortured about 20 of her slaves. Kathy Bates is straight up crazy evil in this season.

My favorite quote from last nights episode

" I couldn't even toast a piece of bread with the heat they put on you" LOL yes that was Jessica Lang's character. She is a mean evil dark magic witch.

Any other AHS fans???
