Fourth Time Is Not A Charm

So apparently the Christmas spirit didn't make any difference on our last IUI...it was negative. It's a very strange feeling to be sitting in a car dealership, waiting for you truck to get an oil change and getting you Beta results. Although I do have to say it forced me to keep it together, nothing like bursting into tears and having people wonder what the hell is going on! Now I am waiting for AF to get here and I go in for CD3 monitoring. We are also going in on the 18th for an appointment with the RE for a "Ok what do we do next" meeting, at which I'm pretty sure we are going to talk about going to IVF. It seems so strange, scarey, and exciting all at the same time to think that we are on our way to that. I just can't believe a year ago we knew nothing of all this, we just knew that we were waiting for February so we could tell the OBGYN that it had been a year off BCPs and get our next steps.

Nothing really planed for the day. We are going out later to look at phones for me, and I'm pretty sure I will be coming home with a new one. Yay! :) Other than that, we might go up to our friends' house, but we aren't sure.

It's Been Awhile

Quick update: About a week ago we found out that IUI #3 was a bust. So now we are working on number 4.

I went in for monitoring last week and the RE found three big cysts on my right ovary. She put me on bcp and I go back in this Friday for a f/u. Hopefully this time next week the cycle will be on and I'll be doing my Follistim shots. We are switching insurances next year and I'm worried about being mid-cycle when that happens. I finally have the info to call the new insurance and check coverage and asks questions. It's been nice though having a bff that works there too, I've been asking her every question I can think of!

Other than that: Thanksgiving was good. My dad came out from Kansas and it was nice to spend time with him. We even went to see Irving Berlin's White Christmas on Broadway, it was an amazing show! Hubby got the lights up with help from his brother, and a little from me. The house looks great and I love all the little twinkle lights this year. There is a little snow on the ground, but it will be so pretty when there is more...even though I really don't want too much more.

Stupid BFN

So Monday I had my Beta drawn and the results were supposed to be sent "stat" I made sure to point this out to the lab tech and then went on my way, anxiously waiting for a phone call. And I waited...and waited....and waited...and waited! Finally at 3:24 I called the RE's office. Three attempts and 15 minutes later I found out that they had only received ONE of the three levels they were supposed to get...and it wasn't even my beta!!! The lady said she had put in for the lab to do the rest of the tests, I guess they still had my blood?? After getting off the phone with them I called over to the lab (it's in the hospital where I work) I talked to someone about what the HELL was going on?! She said she was going to look into it and also called my RE's office. Later she called back and said the results would be ready in about two hours. Fabulous! My RE's office closed 30 minutes ago!!!!!! However I did get a phone call around 5ish from the lady I had talked to there who said that she would call me first thing in the morning with the results. So now I'm back to waiting......finally couldn't take it anymore at 10:30 and called! The RE's office was short some people so that was why I hadn't heard anything (completely understandable) and someone would call me back. Got the call shortly after, and the results...BFN! Got my instructions to stop my progesterone supp.s and wait for AF to show up so that we can start IUI cycle #3. So now it's time to do some more waiting......
