Just a quick update today....
We went for our consultation meeting today. First I had an internal ultrasound. No biggie since I've had so many now I have lost count. Then we talked to the doctor for about 3 minutes. Yes...$50 for 3 minutes! I am in the wrong field if that what I could make in 3 minutes!
So the good... We will start Clomid cycle #2 as soon as I get my period. He made a comment like "unless you do it on your own" or something... I looked at him questioningly....I didn't even think that was possible. He may have meant with the Clomid but I'm not sure. He ushered us out of there pretty fast. I had to ask him about doing a sleep study (which is now scheduled for Oct. 29). Fun times. No cysts either...which is a GREAT thing. :)
The bad...We talked to the doctor for literally 3 minutes?! And we're not sure if my last period was really a period or not...so I'm not sure when I should get mine. Probably right around my birthday. Oh joy! lol We also don't know if whatever was trying to grow started in the uterus or the tubes. It went away by itself...which is a good thing in a way. However, we still have to be cautious about the next time.
The cranky....My husband was just not in the mood today. He said it was because he was tired and things were on his mind. I just kept thinking...Get a grip and TRY to pretend that this is a good thing. He does go back and forth but I think it's because he knows he might have to change some things (big things too) if we actually get pregnant.
But it could take years...and everyone has to sacrifice something when having kids. I would gladly give up being a teacher in order to be a mom. But that's me...
He WANTS children and knows I want them too. He just worries more than he lets on about things that we just can't control. Do I want to get pregnant for real this time around?? YES... Will it happen? I don't know. It could take many more times. The doctor said we would do 3 clomid/IUI cycles more if needed.
I'm getting back on the saddle...or bike....or straddling something (lol) because here we go again.....
I hope everything works out for you. I've been away from the forum for a while, and it seems like everyone I started with over the summer is getting their BFP's. Maybe this time it'll be your time! I'm still sitting out....don't know when or if I'll be able to start again!
ReplyDeleteAnd about the DH's crankiness? I'm right there with you. He says, "it's not something we can control." But then he gets cranky when we talk about it, leading me to believe it bothers him more than he's letting on!
