Day 3

[twoweevils]

Well, my period came exactly on time, for a wonder. Went in this morning for the Day 3 bloodwork and ultrasound. And, Chewie? I got a bad feeling about this. The ultrasound tech didn't say anything, but I sneaked a half-peek at the chart and she seemed to be writing a lot of zeros. As in no antral follicles. As in no point in continuing with this cycle. *sigh*

I'm less worried about the FSH since the doctor said we could proceed as long as it was under 13. But if there are no follicles, there's nothing anyone can do. I'm not going to call in to find out for sure until after work, though. I've just got too much on my plate right now to allow me time to wallow in this. If we can't inseminate this cycle, what I CAN do is work with the naturopath stuff and my general health. All though right now I feel like throwing in the towel. Again.

I don't know what else to do. K's at her mother's this week so I'm just going to have to tough it out and if we're benched for another cycle, I can try to use the time constructively. I've been listening to this every day and doing what I can to "warm" my uterus.

Of course, right now a nice shot of Jim Beam seems like it could warm me up good and proper.

Ugh ugh ugh. I hope that's not actually the case, though. I can hang on to that hope for you, yeah?

(also, I thought of you, because on my boards, a woman posted who was K, and from Canada, and trying to get knocked up with her wife, and they'd been together about as long as you guys -- I think, anyway. But alas, it was not you guys. *g*)

Thanks for holding on to the hope! It was justified! My FSH is 7 and follicles are good enough to be going on with. Yay!

sorry hon

Maybe that Jim Beam isn't such a bad idea to help loosen you up some.

I caved and checked in with the clinic. Everything's fine so I'm back off the booze for this month...and hopefully for another 9 months after that!

I think about you guys a lot, and send you postive waves whenever I do.

That's really good to know -- I can add you to my list of people sending good thoughts when I'm doing my guided meditation. *hugs*
