Beta results and other thoughts

Well, as we figured it would be, the beta (pregnancy) test was negative.

I am still having issues with my lining, so I’ll have to call the Dr.s office in the morning to make sure he still wants me to begin treatment.  If so I start the Clomid tomorrow which I HATED being on. I was mean. I couldn’t stop myself though… Like PMS (only about 10X worse) when you know you just snapped at someone, but you didn’t really mean to. Not to mention the excess estrogen in your system makes you have menopause symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats (IN JULY!).  So I  am sorry in advance for any moodiness I might have (although Josh will probably have to bear the brunt of it).

So I take Clomid alone Thursday and Friday. Then, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday I take Clomid and the  Gonal-F shots. Tuesday I Just take a Gonal-F shot. Wednesday Morning at 7:15 I go back to the Dr. to see how things are going. I am expecting about another 5-7 days of shots after that. Then I take  the Ovidrel shot to make me  Ovulate. The next day (the shot takes 36 hours to work) Josh and I will go back to the Dr. and get inseminated. Then a week later I’ll have blood drawn and a week after that we’ll find out if it works.

Confused? I think I have finally got it straight. Alright my laundry needs folded… more later!

    sorry,missed this one while in the hospital. i had no idea you were being inseminated. so is that still the plan? it doesn’t sound like it, at this point, from the recent blog.

    yeah, insemination is still the plan… i think i’ll find out at my appointment when it will be. Maybe Saturday, possibly Monday depending on my follicle size.
