Still no af! I am a little more relieved though to find myself at 5dpo. It seems that even though af has not come I at least O'd according to my temperature.
Now I can just wait the 2 weeks after O and expect af then. That would mean af should appear by Jan 28th allowing me to start the fertility meds on cd 3 and have IUI in Feb. Now ... unfortunately I have a conference out of town Feb 10-13 just when I should have the IUI so I am not sure what to do. I guess we will play it by ear and see how that goes. I was thinking maybe if the follie is large enough I could have the HCG shot on the Friday and IUI on Sunday (if you have to wait two days I have never done HCG before).
I still have the following side effects from coming off lupron:
tips of my nipples are painful & red
extremely tired
occasional cramping
always hungry
I have spoken with a few women coming off lupron at the same time as me and they seem to be having similar side effects, so I am happy nothing is wrong with me.
I was visiting a neighbour the other night since she had her infant neice over (I think I have spoken about this baby before). Her parents got married when they found out they were pg but they didn't really want the baby, nor were they ready to have a baby. The mother is quite young and not mature at all. Well, when I was visiting the baby and picked her up she smelled like an ashtray! I was totally disgusted. I think as adults if you chose to smoke you should not then chose for you child. I am a product of a mother who smoked her entire pg and everyday as I grew up. I have breathing problems, severe allergies and other complications all attributed to smoking and I have never taken a puff. The baby was also wearing really dirty clothes. My neighbour told me that the baby was dressed in the identical outfit when she had her 3 days earlier. I feel so bad for the baby since she is a sweetheart. She is 5 months old and it is already apparent that has attachment problems. The mother does not pick her up so bad that she had craddle sores at Christmas.
Seeing this always brings me back to the painful topic of why are people like that blessed with children they don't want and there are people like us out there that would give anything and go through anything to have a child. Life just isn't fair.
Finally, I wanted to say congrats to Laura on finding out she was pg, congrats to Jamie on the birth of tiny Brooke and hopefully this will be our year.
