Fertility Update

We have started our 1st cycle back at the baby making dream. I took femara CD 04-08. CD 15 I went in for my US to see if there are any follicles. There are 2!!!! One on the left side and one on the right side (18 & 19). So, the IUI is a go! That night JC gave me the HCG shot to make me ovulate within the next 24-48 hours. Today is CD 17, the day of our IUI. We are waiting for our appointment now and I am sure it will go well.

I am taking prenatal vitamins and baby aspirin daily. At 5 DPO I will start progesterone pills to help thicken the lining of my uterus and the Lovenox shot in my belly to thin my blood.

I should be able to test in about 14 days. We have so much going on that it will go by faster than normal. Usually I am thinking about it so much that time goes so slow. I did not notice any of the side effects of the femara. Probably because I was not thinking about it at all. We were too busy with everything else.

That is about all that I have for right now.

Happy Anniversary !!!

Today is our ANNIVERSARY !!! Three years ago today JC and were bound together forever by our vows. Funny how this is the first one that we have actually been together for and we didn't really do much. We started the day with my niece, Shawna, and I getting our hair did and JC and her husband, Michael, watching her son, Gavin. So, pretty much the entire morning was spent apart. LOL JC was pretty excited to visit with Michael and Gavin... really it was Gavin that he wanted to play with, sorry Michael. They had pizza waiting for us when we returned and we had a very nice visit.

We did both get a new iPhone so that was our gift to each other.

The family dinner on the previous Saturday was a BIG HIT! everyone was able to be there. We ate at Texas Roadhouse and they were able to move the tables around so that we could all sit together rather than at two tables. It was very nice to catch up with everyone especially since JC just got back.

Hopefully next month we will have a place to actually call home...

EXCITEMENT !!!!!!!!!!

JC should be back in the States by the end of next week!!!!! I am so excited!!!! I remember the day that I was asking myself how in the world I was going to get through this. I have told myself time and time again that it will all work out and that it will all be OK in the end. Now the end is near and I couldn't have been more right. We made it through probably one of the toughest years of our lives. We put our baby making dreams aside and got through it. In the end it did work out as it always does. Things really do happen for a reason and even in the worst of times good things happen. If we had never deployed we would not be trying to buy a business. If we had gotten pregnant we wouldn't have deployed or at least I wouldn't have and we would not be trying to buy a business. It HAD to happen this way and this was the only path that led to now... I happen to like now! :) Put all your faith in God and God will provide!!!!! It amazes me to no end how life just seems to fit EXACTLY as it should. It's like playing 52 card pick up and having all the cards fall in one little neat pile... PERFECTION!
