Darrell & Sharyn

Here we are… Less than 18 hours till our blood test. I am getting nervous and excited all at the same time. I’m nervous that we will get a negative, but I am excited that there is a possibility of getting a positive. I don’t know exactly how long it will take to get the blood results back, but I’m hoping that it will be tomorrow afternoon.

I have been really good about not POAS. I want to do an hpt, but I don’t know if I could handle the results. I think I would rather have the blood test tell me since they are WAY more accurate than an hpt. There is a huge part of me that wants to know NOW, and as many people who know me know, I am a planner and I hate not knowing things. I know that the statistics are against me, but I’m hoping that statistics are taking the month off :).

So hopefully I will have good news by the time I get off of work tomorrow. That is a measly 26 hours away, but it seems so far away!!!! I know a lot of this post seems like whining, but I’m mildly stressed and not sure what I will do if it is a negative. I know we can try again next month. It just means waiting another 4 weeks before another test. But I guess I can think about that tomorrow night if need be.

Fingers crossed.

I am horrible at being patient and waiting. I still have 8 days to go before our beta. I hate being disappointed early, so I am thinking we will just wait for the beta and not do a hpt.

Alas, as horrible as I am at being patient and waiting, D is way worse! I have been finding things to do to keep my mind off of it. He keeps asking me about it. We are both so hopeful. 🙂 At least he has a lot of meetings this week at work, so it is keeping him really busy.

Today, I woke up and have had massive back pain. My lower back is so sore it is hard for me to sit or lay down comfortably. Thank goodness I don’t have to work today. I have been trying to use the yoga position to help relax my back, but it isn’t working. 🙁  Guess I will just have to make do with a pillow behind me. That seems to help for a little bit.

16 million possibilities.

1, possibly 2 targets.

Testing on 7/7/11.

The RE said that things looked good. He said that I didn’t exactly respond the way he would like to have seen to the Clomid, but all it takes is one. If by chance, this cycle doesn’t work, he will be putting me on injectables as well as clomid next cycle. Another positive is that because we only used one vial, we still have a vial available and the RE said that he would do another cycle for us. Which is awesome as we were told we had to have two vials available to do a cycle. YIPEE! (not that I’m hoping we have to do another round, but it’s nice to know :P)

They have put me on a couple medications so far this cycle. I figured I would share a couple pictures:

Clomid (CD3-7):

Estradiol (2 tablets a day from CD 9-?)

Ovidrel Shot (CD 13. Had to have Darrell give it to me as I HATE needles)

Prometrium (CD 17 – ??)

That’s the gist of it. Now for the two week wait. Good thing I have a job to keep me mildly busy 🙂
