We got GREAT NEWS yesterday!! We found out by doing a second S/A that we are boarderline fertile.....the Urologist believes that by using OPK's that we should be able to do this on our own. If the OPK's do not work then he said that we are great candidates for IUI. We found out that he has 18 million good sperm and that other than then being a little slow they are usable! We are so happy with the results! It made me realize that this could happen this year.....more than likely I will be put on Clomid after the 3 rounds of birth control pills. I just can't believe that the news was so good. I was expecting bad news or at least not very good news. I guess at least I was prepared for the worst.
In other news, I am still having my headaches. It is like clockwork....almost around the same time everyday. I know I need to call the doctor, but for some reason I am the laziest person when it comes to making an appointment for myself. I just need to bite the bullet and do it. I am afraid of what they will say though.
So, almost two weeks of the birth control pills and I had my first emotional breakdown today. I felt like I couldn't hold it in anymore so I just let it out. I think I have done much better than I thought I would on these pills....especially after what I read about them!

Yuck....this is not what I wanted!
I have been on the birth control pills since Sunday and at first things seemed to be ok.....actually they were really good! I thought maybe I had some type of hormone imbalance and that the pills were making me happier.....and then this morning came. I took my pill like I normally do and about 20-30 minutes later I was sure that I was going to get sick. It was horrible. I went to bed and laid there and finally fell asleep ( I work 3rd shift). I just hope that tomorrow is better. Maybe I need to take it and then go right to sleep. All I know is that I didn't ask for this.....the pill that is. I almost want to call the doctor and tell her that I am not going to take them since it is doing the opposite of what I want! Ugh.....I hate infertility!
On to another complaint.....my headaches! I have had a headache everyday since Friday. And not only am I having headaches, I have pain in my left eye and a horrible stomach ache when ever I eat. I am pretty convinced that I may be falling apart. I really just need to call the doctor but really I am just tired of going to doctors right now. I know that lately all of the doctor appointments have been for him but I have had a few here and there and really I just want to not have to go to ANY doctor appointments on my days off. Hopefully it will just get better on its own!

No Provera for me!!
I forgot to mention the Dr. wanted me to take Provera since I was late. Low and behold later that day I started! So, no Provera for me!!! I really didn't want to take it after she told me I was going to be extra cranky.
So, after the horrible winds we had here we finally got our electricity back this morning at about 4am. Over 24 hours without electricity can drive a girl crazy. No tv, no water, no lights, no heat......it sucked! I stayed home from work to keep the kerosene heater running so that our house wouldn't be so cold. I hope that doesn't happen again for a long time. You never realize how much you depend on it until you don't have it.
I start my birth control on Sunday and I am not excited about it. Still waiting to hear back from the fertility clinic about the SA. I knew this was going to take forever! I am hoping to hear something back today since it is Friday. I really don't want to have to wait all weekend to find out how it went.
Well, I suppose I should get dressed and go run some errands. I would rather just stay home and hang out all day but someone has to return the movie that has been stuck in the dvd player since the power went out!

You want me to take WHAT????
So, we did another SA today......well actually he did it and without any help from me may I add! I was so proud of him....the way that he just walked in and did it without any conplaints. I figure he has been practicing for this since he was a teenager! Anyways, we should get the results in
3-5 business days. Hopefully they will have better news for us this time.
So, Monday was my turn for the doctor. She just wanted to do a check up to make sure I was ok after HSG. She asked me where we are in the process with my husband. I told her as much as I could remember. Then she said that she is putting me on birth control to regulate me and until he is done with all his stuff. I was in shock....yeah great idea put the girl who is trying to have a baby on birth control!!! I really don't want to take it but I know it is probably what is best. We will give my ovaries a rest for about 3 months....then its Clomid here I come!!! She gave me some much information thatday that when I left I went and bought a planner to keep track of cycle days and such. Who knew that all of this was going to be so complicated??? Obviously we didn't!
Well, this is were we are in the process today. I can't wait to someday be able to show my child all of this so that he/she can see what we actually went through to bring them into our life. I always thought it was going to be like the movies......accidental and easy. I guess sometime it just doesn't work that way.
