TTC#1, C#11, CD#14
Hi Everyone,
I'd just like to start this entry off by saying how very proud I am to be an American. Truly, this past week has brought something out in our country that has not been publicly expressed in years: the American spirit. What happened last week was absolutely horrible, and we will forever be changed by it. I am glad, however, to see that America has united in this time of turmoil, with people caring, helping, and supporting fellow Americans and our government. It's really something that we haven't seen in such a long time, and it may be the only good thing to come out of any of this.
My TTC quest continues. I am on cd14 and waiting to ovulate. I expect it in about 4-6 days. I mentioned in my last entry that I had a doctor's appointment with a RE closer to my work, and it was supposed to be tomorrow. Well, I asked my dr. about it and she told me NOT to see this doctor! I don't think I'd ever heard a doctor so strongly recommend not to see a colleague, but she wouldn't, out of courtesy, tell me why and I just cancelled the appointment. That answers my question of why they were able to get me an appointment in less than a week! So, I called another doctor (this one recommended by my doc), also closer to my work, and I have an appointment for Monday, October 8. The timing is pretty good, because I'll be getting in there just at or before the beginning of my next cycle. She'll most likely want to do the HSG, which, actually, I'm ready for. I generally shy away from anything slightly uncomfortable, but I really am just ready to take the next step, and to rule out problems along the way. My dr. suggested we try a few more cycles with Clomid, since this will only be my 3rd ovulatory clomid cycle, maybe with IUI, before looking into possible endo. or a lap. I am in NO hurry to get a lap, either! We'll see what the RE says, but I have a feeling she and my dr. are on the same page. The ultimate would be if I found out I was pg just before going and got to cancel that appointment, too!
I've kind of been feeling 'blah' about my appearance lately, so I did what all women do when they feel icky, I splurged on a really good haircut. My hair was the longest it's been in at least 5 years, and DH likes it long, but it just hung and made my face look even longer. So, I got a fun, 'sassy' cut that's still fairly long, but I feel sooo much better! If only a haircut could solve all problems so easily.
Well, that's all from here. I hope you are all having a good week. Take care of yourselves and give your families an extra hug.
Love,
Laura
