February 25, 2001
Hello, I am sitting here pondering what this entry should be about. There are a million subjects on my mind, none of them very new. So, I think this will be more of a summary type entry. I will say that I go to RE on March 7th to discuss my impending IUI. I am cd 6 today and so this cycle is out of the question I am sure but we are looking ahead. Hopefully the RE will want to do clomid with u/s and hcg shot or whatever to ensure that I O at the time I think I do so that IUI has a much better success rate. I am going to also request another HSG to reassure that my tubes are open. They have a tendency to become blocked pretty easily and last time they were unblocked was 6 months ago. That was 6 months after they were unblocked for the first time so I am thinking that 6 months of unadulterated Endo is more than the tiny little vessels can take. After this little summary entry, I may not post again until after that appointment.
Just not a lot going on except for waiting. You all know what waiting is like. Also, working for a tax firm at this time of the year lends itself to staying fairly busy. I have been off work for over a week with a killer sinus infection and just overall I think a great big load of stress. DH is trying to keep himself busy, working his regular job and some side jobs so that he can remain the ever important wagon. Since his last leap from the sobriety wagon, I have been very depressed and he has sensed it. I have even suggested that we move closer to my family. We live about 4 hours from my Mom and we try to make that trip at least every 3 months. My mom comes out here or I go there and it is just too much for my Mom to keep up and we can't make the trip everytime. His family lives an hour a way and he is content to see them once a year. So, my thinking at this point is to get closer to the family that we desire to visit with more often. He is a carpenter and there are always jobs to be found and living in Birmingham would put us about an hour from my Mom. My skills range from a B.S. in Education, to a backgroung in accounting to childcare work to a great deal of computer experience. So, finding a job is not the issue. I am not sure exactly what the issue is with DH other than leaving what is familiar to him. Anyway, he has promised to give it some thought between now and the next 6 months. That is good enough for me for now. I would love to get pg and move closer to my family.
That brings me to my Mom. This is the greatest woman I have ever known. I haven't always felt like this. As a teenager, I was very much a daddy's girl. My father passed when I was 19 and in the last 10 years, my Mom has been there for me in ways that most people can only imagine. She has put up with some of the most horrible crap any woman could possibly be asked to entertain and has still been better than the best. My grandmother was killed in a car accident when I was 2 but I have always heard stories about what a great woman she was. I can't imagine that she was any greater than her offspring, my very own Mother. So, where am I going with this. One thing that is extremely important to me is that she play a big role in her grandchild's life. A bigger role than she could play with a 4 hour commute. If we move closer to her, she can be the grandmother to my child that she is too all her nieces and nephews. I am an only child so there are no real grandchildren for my mom to dote on but she very rarely goes to church on Sunday with less than 2 children in tow. She is a very inspirational woman and I want to be close to her, for my own sake, as well as that of my offspring.
Listen to me, I am talking as if I am already pg. I know, it never hurts to dream. I do have big ideas for this upcoming visit to the RE and getting another IUI. So, that is that......I will work hard between now and then, read all the diaries, dish out my "educated advice" or not-so educated in some cases and look for you guys to talk to me alot on my board. Good luck and keep your hips elevated. Someone has to remind everyone of that since Dawn will be moving on to the PG board soon. Congrats Dawn and I just know I am next!!! Tracy's mantra, "if Dawn can do it, so can I" is the phrase of all phrases this month.
Thanks for reading and Good luck.
