HSG

Well, HSG done and all clear.

It REALLY hurt me when they put the catheter through my cervix. My eyes watered and I almost cried- I think mostly because I was surprised by the intense pain. That only lasted about a minute, and the rest wasn't too bad. It was interesting to see the dye fill my ute, go through the tubes, and start floating around my abdomen. Everything felt better once they took all of that crap out of me. It's only been about 75 minutes, but I haven't felt much since.

Glad to have that done with. Now, I just need to call the discount med place to see if we qualify, and let my Dr. know. Then, I'll have to learn how to do the injections, set the schedule, and I am good to go. I plan to start stims June 14th, which is what the ticker is set for. The BCP will make AF come June 12, egg retrieval June 23/24, and embryo transfer June 29/30.

It still seems so far away to me-- but just 50 days of school till I start shooting myself up with drugs! Hopefully I'll have my job back by then, and won't have to totally pack up my classroom.  It seems so close, yet so far.

    I'm glad that it's over with... sorry it hurt so much! It is fascinating to watch!

    How exciting you have the IVF schedule. Are you guys planning on doing the TESA before starting IVF and freezing whatever can be found, or are you going to do it the day before ER?

    Hang in there! It'll be time before you know it. Sending you warmth as you work through everything!

    Thanks for your comment. Glad to have the HSG over.
    Will keep you updated on the TESE recovery process. So far tonight is been Much better than last, but it is only 10:30 :)
    According to the nurse there were 8 non-motile sperm before the freeze & thaw and 1 half-motile sperm after. I don't get it either..but I guess the freeze & thaw can "wake up" the sperm?

It's you!

"It's you!  I just know it!  You've lost some weight, it must be because of the morning sickness!" No, it's not me.  I'm not pregnant. "But is HAS to be you.  Who else could it be?  You just don't want to tell because it is too early" No, really.  It's not me.  I promise.  I haven't cheated on my husband.   "Well, who else could it be?" Um, one of the other 20 teachers of child bearing age at this school.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've guessed the other two pregnant teachers, before I even knew there were pregnant teachers at my school.  I have 'pregodar' (like gaydar, but for preggos) and really can sense the preggos around me.  I hadn't pegged a 3rd teacher, but I heard a rumor that there is a third when I started being hounded, and I think I have it figured out.  Its the one on her 3rd engagement and 3rd marriage in 5 years.  She's reaching the top of her realistic baby time, so it makes sense.

plugging along

There really isn't much to say at this point.  I'm plugging along, doing fine. Yesterday, I bowed out of a BBQ with B's family.  In May I mentioned BIL's ex and her "surprise" (planned) pregnancy.  One of the reasons for this BBQ was for BIL's birthday, and she decided to drive down to attend (she's still living 5-6 hours away).  She's like 26 weeks pregnant, and the thought of having to spend the day with her made me feel ill.  BIL isn't planning on living with her and the baby or marrying her, but will go visit often.  She is such an attention whore, I couldn't deal with her talking about the baby and flaunting the fact that she is still around because of it.  I've felt a little bit of a cold coming on, so I exaggerated it and stayed home.  I did end up throwing up my dinner, so I'm glad I didn't go. I felt a little guilty about skipping out on this, but I got over it quickly.  MIL was hoping that B and I would announce our

off with the crazies

Well, as expected, I had a pretty crappy Christmas.  Christmas eve was actually the best part.  We always celebrate on Christmas eve with my mom's side of the family.  That was actually fine.  Christmas day, not so much.  First, at my dad's side of the family lunch, I've never felt like such an outsider.  Christmas at the IL's started out fine.  BIL's dumb girlfriend decided to group each person's gifts in a pile, and we opened gifts one person at a time.  This took forever, and was kind of annoying.  For this group, we set up a gift exchange with B's brothers, so that we didn't have to buy for everyone.  I did the arranging for this, and think I did a good job.  I gave everyone opportunity to give input and include anyone else who was not included (didn't know if BIL's girlfriend was coming), compiled the responses, and sent out the information.  After all of that, B's brother went and got something for everyone, which really set me off.  Be
