The moment you have been waiting for!!!

I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

I know Monday was forever ago to some of you, but I didn't see a real need to rush this post. Especially since the news is not fantastic. The result is in! And it was negative. I don't think this is a bad thing though. I know a lot of people were sad for me because they wanted me to conceive on the first try so badly (especially at my office), but I'm not that upset about it. Mainly because I didn't expect a positive result on round one of IUI. Yes, it works for some people, but the probability of one of those people being me? Wasn't very high.

So we continue...

When the doctor's office called me with the negative result, they told me that since I was taking progesterone, that I should stop and would then start my period a few days later. Well... I started yesterday. Which is weird since I started on the 24th of June as well. Holy crap, a "regular," "on time" cycle? What is happening to me...! My periods always have the same pattern to them as well. They start out on MY day one spotty and not all the way there, but by day two I'm ready to die. So MY day two, is the doctor's day one. It's confusing, don't try to hard to understand it. Basically my cycle doesn't start until (my) day two because I have to be bleeding to death in order to have an accurate fertility treatment period. Soooo.... I have an ultrasound tomorrow to look at my ovaries (no cysts) and uterine lining (shedding properly). Then comes Clomid again (yay hot flashes!), followed by another ultrasound to view follicle growth (hoping for 20mm), Ovidrel injection, IUI (#2), and two week wait with a progesterone level check in the mean time.

It's amazing how quickly it goes...

Especially this time. Since the first time was kind of a trial run. Like, get my hormones working, get me ovulating, checking medication response, etc... now that they know everything that works it's all "boom boom boom!" So again, I'm perfectly fine with a negative result the first time around because I know that this time could be different. My time will come. I'm not going to rush it. I've been waiting three years, what's a few more months?

The only difference is that now I have you to share it with.
