Here We Go.. AGAIN!

It's been several days since I've had a chance to post.  So much has happened!!  First, my new business is keeping me super busy!  I guess it's good because it means my mind doesn't have time to wander.  Last Saturday I finally took a day to myself.  Yup, no orders.. no volleyball.. no cleaning.. no nothing!  Just a pedicure and some shopping.  Plus I'm SUPER excited about a girls' weekend this weekend.  It is MUCH needed.  Bring on the spa.. the wine.. and the girl talk.

So let me catch you up to speed.  Last Wednesday I went to my gynecologist for an ultrasound.  My doctor was looking at the ultrasound and saying, Are you suuuure you're not pregnant?  Lady.. you're the one with the camera in my uterus.. you tell me!!!  Apparently my body was convinced I was.  My uterine wall was 11mm... too thick for someone that wasn't pregnant.  And I wasn't ovulating.  Well... even my body thinks I should be pregnant!!  She's visibly upset at how thick my wall is and does another ultrasound to check for fibroids.   When she doesn't find any, she asks me to come back the next day to do a biopsy.  I go back the next day as she attempts FOUR times to do the biopsy.  Remember that awful pain I had to endure over a month ago.. that's what I had to endure four more times as she tries to get a sample.  Finally she gives up because I'm in so much pain.  She decides she's just not sure why I'm not ovulating but gives me a prescription to take to induce my period.

The next day I decided not having any answers wasn't good enough for me.  My stomach was inflated and it actually LOOKED like I was pregnant.  I was still having awful cramps and pains.  I needed answers!  I called my RE and went into their office for blood work.  The nurse had told me that they'd be able to check my estrogen and progesterone levels which would tell me whether I had, was about to or hadn't ovulated.  A few hours after my blood work the nurse calls to tell me that my levels were really low.. indicating that I was about to start my period.  She said that the doctor wasn't worried about anything and said to just take my medicine for a few days and my period should come.  So I asked.. how does this affect my next transfer?  Do I need to wait another month to see if I ovulate on my own?!  She responds, We really don't care if you ovulate.. it's actually better for us if you don't.  All they cared about is shedding my lining so we could start the process of building it back up.  I felt a little better after having talked to her.  The reproductive system is such a complicated thing.. I think I should stick with just going to the specialists!

That night I get home aaaaaaaaaaand my period started on its own!  Really?!  How in the world will I ever survive this emotional roller coaster?  I feel like as soon as you're diagnosed with infertility they should tell you.. Strap in honey... you're in for the ride of your life!!  At any rate, it was pretty exciting that I started on my own.  This means my checklist is BACK!  I started my injections on Saturday and called in my period this morning.  The nurse emailed me my new protocol and made my next ultrasound appointments.  I am on track for a April 18th transfer date.  This time we have decided to transfer two embryos.. cross your fingers for us!!!
