Cycle 3

The cycles are getting hard to keep track of now that we are on our 3rd one. It seems like we have done more than that. The process just takes a while. Today I went in for my ultrasound to check the follicles. I forgot to ask how big it was but it was right there when she started the ultrasound. I could even see it plain as day and I usually don't see much of anything on that screen. So hopefully it is a good egg. :) We are doing IUI this cycle. In fact, we are doing it tomorrow. I just gave myself the shot of Ovidrel and I go in at 8:30 tomorrow morning for the procedure.

Brett will not be there this time for a number of reasons... he doesn't really like the fact that we have to do IUI, it pains him to see me in so much pain during the procedure, he just really doesn't like to be around for the medical stuff, and he has a lot of work to do to catch up after not working all weekend and taking a few days off for Kyler's birthday trip to Omaha. I can understand those things and I can do this on my own (well, that part anyway). I guess it is a little strange thinking he won't be there for the potential conception of our baby but nothing about this is conventional and I know he will be around for the important stuff after we have a baby in our home... he is an amazing dad.

It may also be surprising that I didn't ask for the follicle size or count or any details for that matter, but I am to the point that I can't consume myself with this stuff. I have other things to do and worry about; and stressing over it does not help one bit, in fact it actually makes it more difficult to get prego. I have done as much research about my various conditions as I can and now it is out of my hands. So every night when I put Kyler to bed and we say our prayers, I always add one about his baby brother or sister. My goal at the beginning was to be pregnant by Kyler's birthday so this is our last shot for that goal to be met. Hopefully it is in God's plan. :) We will find out on June 1st.
