Happy Easter!!

Well I got the surprise I was not wanting on Easter Sunday. Yes AF(aunt flow) decided to come 4 days early. I was ok with it but i think it really bothered Jon more than me. I guess i was just assuming it wasnt going to happen because I expect it not to. So we are taking a 2-3 months off summer basically to focus more on us and so I can take a little weight off the doctor says at least 5%, it might help. I am still going to take the progesterone meds so I can still have a AF so when we get back into it I wont be starting over completely and I am also going to keep up on the acupuncture. Thanks for the support but continue to check my blog because a little miracle might happen with not being so focus on it and i will as well be posting about my weight loss. This is all apart of the journey right??

10 DP IUI (10 Days Past IUI)

I am 10 days past IUI and the next week and half is going to kill me! This is one of the hardest things the wait. I just want to run out and take a test but cant due to my trigger shot which carries the HCG hormone and it stays in your system for like 10 days or more so i could get a false positive.  I started noticing the other night 8 days past IUI  and continuing , I have been feeling like I am going to get sick but its only at night time. No morning just in the evenings. Not getting my hopes up and I had a couple of hot flashes and a dizzy spell at 10 days past but again that all could be because of the trigger shot hormones. Jon told me he didnt want me to look at the calendar everyday but i am not going to lie IT IS HARD!!! I will keep everyone posted. **BABY DUST**

Making A Hard Decision!!

THE SUN WAS SHINING AND THE SKY WAS BLUE this has to be a GREAT sign considering it was not raining. Jon arrived two hrs before me and made his deposit and then I went and picked up my mother in law to take her with us. Weird I am sure some of you might think but she really was curious about everything and was quite unsure about how everything is with fertility  and how it works,  so we decided to invite her along. Faye and I met Jon at Bob Evans to enjoy a breakfast before my 9:30 app. We then proceeded to the office to pick up the deposit at the "BANK" love it. The process was funny with everything and how many times they check to make sure that it is YOUR sample. The excitement I had in me walking just four offices down in the hallway. I was thinking this really could work and I was smiling ear to ear as my mother in law grabbed the thermal and hugged it and blessed it. (it was funny she couldn't see what was in it but knew.) I signed in and made sure that every person that grabbed that thermal before it reached our room to please bless it. LOL this is why I love this place the people are AMAZING!  The whole process did not take long at all very quick and not painful but laying there afterwords I had everything you could possibly think of running through my mind. I pray everything works because Jon and I made the decision yesterday morning that if this don't we will be stopping treatments for a couple of months giving us time to focus on us and not so much the whole baby thing. I cried wondering if this is the right decision to make because I am 5 months into this but my body needs a break from all the hormones and I think Jon and I do as well and come summer we will get back at it. I am just ready for it to happen and we can begin our journey as a family. Much love for all the prayers!

Think Thick and Needle Sticks!

April 11-2011, As always it was raining and on the way up to the doctors visit my husband says "Did you noticed that EVERY TIME we have an appointment it always rains?" "I wonder if thats a sign?"...So we get there and I have the joys of filling out some of the sign your life away paper again due to my insurance FINALLY changing my last name to Tucker. Thanks to Humana. They call us back and guess what. The socks on the stirrups have changed, they are now Easter and spring socks. We have gone through thanksgiving all they way to Easter. Thats alot of socks. As I am lying there and my friend and I meet again the doctor says "WOW, thats really nice!" My endometrium lining was THICK measuring at a little over a 7 so anything above a 6 is great. I ended up only producing one mature egg measuring 21mm on the new medicine. Shot Monday night Everything looks great and we begin our IUI on wednesday morning! CROSS EVERYTHING!........

                

 So I also did acupuncture later that evening that was recommended by a friend. I was so nervous. After i got through the hour of talking about myself the lady that was doing my acupuncture stated that she was going to throw in the needles for anxiety cause she could feel alot of that going on. The first needles she places were in my ears. I didnt feel them at all. Then the next ones she placed in my hands on my legs and all in my feet. After she was finished she turned off all the lights  and I just relaxed and feel asleep. After wards I felt so AMAZING like a huge amount of stress was lifted and nothing could make me worry. I have heard through many people that acupuncture works for infertility and it helps. Even if for some reason it doesnt work i feel alot better and not as stressed about anything.

(Here is a picture from my husbands cell phone you can see a needle or two)

I Wear Teal For Me!!

♥Infertility is a heart-wrenching, faith-questioning, relationship-testing, life-altering experience. April is Infertility Awareness Month. Whether a friend, a family member, a colleague or yourself has fought through this difficult fate that MILLIONS of women are fighting day in and day out.

Apointments Apointments!!

Monday April 11, 2011 is the day we find out if this new medicine they put me on has worked or not. I for some reason had a really hard time adjusting to this medicine. Side effects were HORRIBLE! (headaches, and it causes joint and bone pain) Really THANKS Doc. I mean on the bright side of that my mood swings were not that bad so maybe it has its perks! Cross EVERYTHING on Monday that we have 3 mature eggs and can continue onto Wednesday or Thursday for our first round of IUI!! Also i made a appointment monday night for Acupuncture, I am trying everything I have heard that helps with Infertility. Make it a great day and I will keep everyone posted about Monday!
