Trick or Treat FedEx Guy!

Today I got my goodie box delivered by FedEx. I set my alarm for 10:00 this morning so that I would be up and ready for the delivery. I only had to wait an hour and a half for FedEx to get here and I think I kinda scared the delivery guy too. I thought I heard a noise outside, so I got up to look and saw the truck out front. Before he could knock or anything, heck he was still about three feet from the porch, I opened the door. I had to resist the urge to say "Trick or treat", which was the funny idea that popped into my head right before he got here. lol My goodie box had three 600 unit Follistim cartridges, a huge bottle of Prometrium and my Ovidrel trigger. It's strange how happy I still get to get these packages. I guess I see it as hope that maybe this cycle will work and that we have another chance at reaching out goal. *crossing my fingers*

It's been two days since we had our back to back IUIs and I'm really trying not to think about how long it is until I have my bloodwork drawn. I went in for monitoring on Saturday 10-10 after being on Follistim at 50ius for two days. I was worried about the fact that the previous u/s showed too many follies growing. However, this one showed a nice 16mm follie on the left and a big, healthy 23mm on the right!! The nurse gave me my Ovidrell trigger right there in the office, it hurt a bit more then when I gave myself the shot last time. After that I got my instructions for my IUIs for the next two days. Hubby was not very pleased that he would have to be getting up at the buttcrack of dawn for two days, but he was still excited. So Sunday it was off to Norwalk, CT at o' dark-thirty, aka 6:15 am. We made it to the office around 7:45, and after hubby did his thing, we hung out waiting for the procedure. We even took some time to ponder the origins of the "materials" in the rooms for the guys and had a few good laughs. Around 9:15 they called us back into the room, then after a little lamp issue (the one in the room didn't work and they had to find another...it lead to jokes about usuing cellphones as flashlights..too funny!) it was all done. We went out to dinner that night with our friends who were celebrating their first anniversary and also to celebrate our anniversary which was the next day. Monday morning arrived bright and early, and it was off to Danbury this time for a 7:45 appointment. We had the procedure done around 9:15 (it was the magic time for this cycle lol). It was hard trying not to read too much into the fact that we were having our IUI done on our anniversary, but maybe it will be better luck than having it done on 9-9-09 was. The rest of our 6th anniversary was spent climbing in and around WWII planes, which was totally kick ass! Then we went to dinner at our usual anniversary spot, Red Lobster (I had a 1/2 pound of snow crab legs with coconut shirmp..yummmm!!). Right now we are on vacay and have been working on painting the bathroom and hallway, tomorrow we will hopefully go pick up the paint and start putting it on the walls.
