It sure is Monday

I feel like I am 10 steps behind on everything so far today, I can only imagine how the rest of the day will go. At least the sun is shining and it is supposed to be in the 70's today and nice for most of the week. So I had plans to update after my ultrasound on Friday but when I got back to work it was a tad crazy and then Matt has hijacked my laptop and has taken it to the shop and there just isn't a conducive place to sit down and write out there.

Friday I was a nervous wreck and was putting every bad scenario into my head on my drive to Dr. S's (I have like an hour and a half drive so you can imagine the time I had to put these scenarios in my head). I, for the most part, was convinced that I did not produce any follicles. My body has been screwed up for too long so clomid wasn't going to give me follicles. Lo and behold I did have 2 pretty little follicles on my right ovary measuring 16 and 18. Given their sizes I did not get my trigger shot Friday but had to give it to myself this morning. Now I have given plenty of shots to cattle over the years but giving it to myself was a whole different ballgame. I managed and even Matt was impressed that I did it all on my own. So now, tomorrow night hopefully my body does what it is supposed to do and ovulate. I have a blood draw on the 27th and as long as my progesterone is above 12 I won't be getting a phone call. So I am hoping to not hear from the doctors office. I'm kind of nervous, I've never had a 2WW before (well at least that I know of).

On the weight loss side of thing, things have been a bit stagnant. I've lost a little bit but since coming back from Vegas, being on the provera and such I just feel like I need to restart and kick it into high gear. Which brings me to my next point of weekly goals.  My goal this week is to get my food journal back up and sticking with it. Wish me luck cause I have been ever so bad about it lately.

I had reflexology done on Thursday. I had no clue what reflexology was when I heard that the place where I tan and get my nails done (my 2 girly things that I do) was offering it once a week so I doing the only logical thing, I googled it. Basically there are trigger points in your feet that correspond to things in your body. So I make an appt and have it done Thursday thinking it might relax me for Friday. The girl gets started and mind you I had not said a word about anything fertility or hormonally related and she asks me if I have any hormonal issues. Umm well, yes, I am a hormonal train wreck actually. So she worked those areas extra hard, said she got a response and when I left I felt like I was walking on air. So I have another appointment Thursday so see if there is any improvement. Either way, my feet felt amazing and it was worth the money.

So here is to a new week and hoping that my Monday gets better.

  2. Awesome about the u/s and reflexology! They did some when I had the fertility massage and I've been working on those points on my own around ovulation time. Excited to see if it keeps working for you!

    Kudos on the shot! I've never given myself one and it's a way I can give J a not-so-fun IF related job!
    Come on now ovaries...it's your time to shine! Good luck!

    1. Matt was sure he was going to have to do it but I sucked it up! Would you go back and get another fertility massage?

    2. Yeah, I would! I'm thinking about next cycle when my doses will be higher. When I have optimum chances :)

  4. You are doing another cycle on Clomid, correct? Either way, that is SO EXCITING that your body is responding well to it. SUCH A HUGE STEP! And it's so exciting and nerve wracking to be in a position where getting pregnant is actually a possibility!

    1. Yes I took 150mg on CD3-7 and definetly had the hot flashes and clomid crazies.

  5. I'm glad the ultrasound came back better than you thought. Sometimes it is hard to stay optimistic when everything in your fertility world says negative, negative! Way to go on the shot! I will be making my husband give those too me, like Laura said, so he can have a role in this infertility business!
