New blog

Hi guys..
I'm starting a new family and baby blog. Let me know if you want the link!

A ton has happened!

I'll start with the bad...
We had to put my childhood dog to sleep this month. It was probably the hardest thing I've ever had to do. Poor Paloma couldn't walk any longer and it was just her time. She was ready to go to doggie heaven. And that's exactly where she is. She was the sweetest most loving and loyal dog you could ever meet. She had a rough life before us being severely beaten and starved before we got her. She sure lived like a princess once we had her. We'll miss you baby..

Onto positive things!
We are pregnant. I had an u/s on July 6th at 6w2d and the RE gave us a due date of March 1st 2010. We have one baby with one tiny heartbeat. She said things were looking great but wants me to stay on the Prometrium and stay on pelvic rest for another couple of weeks. FUN STUFF!! I am trying to take it VERY easy and not do what I don't have to do. I may be lazy but I'm keeping this kid in here, dammit! I've been feeling pretty crappy but trying to take it one day at a time. I know I will start feeling worse very soon. I just pray that this little thing stays in there for as long as it takes. I may be starting a pregnancy blog but we'll see.

YAY for baby!

I'm PREGNANT!!!!

More to come later!

The IUI worked!

I'm due Feb 28th 2010 and I'm 4w3d today.

Betas were 239 and 555 today!

Fun and more Fun.

I had a BLAST with Mandie and Matt. The best time ever. They are hilarious to be around and some of the funniest people I've ever met.

More fun is.... IUI next weekend!!!! AGHHHHH!!!!

I'm over blogging.

nuff said.

Who would have thought..

It would be so fucking hard to hear something that is great, and very sad at the same time...?

My appointment went well. Great, actually. I absolutely love my RE. We went over my issues, charts, labs and surgery findings. She review Ray's SAs and said that while he had high viscosity and 60% motility, she felt that he was just fine. So that's good news.
For me..she thinks its a combination of Endo, progesterone issues and ovulation issues. Which we kind of already knew.

She recommends Clomid (or Letrozole)for 5 days, then FSH injections twice a day for 10 days then HCG trigger with IUI.
She provided me with all the paperwork and information.

She did an ultrasound to find out why I'm on cd20 and still haven't ovulated or got a peak on my monitor. I have one 20mm follie on my right side ready to pop at any minute so she told us we have some homework tonight.

At the end of the appointment she brought up Selective Reduction and asked that we think about this. We've already had several conversations about it when I first started the Clomid, but this is obviously a little more serious.

Within 3 hours I've already received several OPINIONATED and DOUCHEBAGGISH comments about it, that were really uncalled for. Whether they were meant to be asshole comments or not, I'm just a tad sensitive right now.

I'm having a hard enough time as it is with this decision and don't need any added drama. I understand that not everyone is going to have the same opinion but sometimes friends just need to keep their opinions to themselves until they are in the position that they have to choose between possibly having no children, or on the flip.. having too many- that end up with a poor VERY poor quality of life because of my decisions.
I'm not saying whether I am for or against, as this is not something I can ultimately decide over night..but I do feel that I am in a position where I need to weight the pros and cons and not be judged by FRIENDS.

I'm feeling a ton of different emotions and need some time to figure things out.

Any comments that are not supportive and positive are not welcome.

RE APPOINTMENT

Doctor thinks it's time and so do I.

RE appointment on April 24th at 3pm.

I'm really excited.
