Infertility~Timed Intercourse

We have recently found out that my husband and I both have infertility issues. Mine of course is more drastic but we will need a miracle to conceive without an assistance. This past month I took 100 mg of Clomid days 3-7 and went through hot flashes from Hell! I then proceeded to use Clear Blue and Easy Ovulation Predictor sticks and on cycle day 14 had a LH Surge. I drove to San Ramon (becuase the San Jose Reproductive Science Center is closed on weekends) and the doctor found 3 follicles. 2 follies on the right (one 13 mm and one 14mm) and 1 23mm follie on the left. In order for an egg to be present in the follie they have to be 15mm but of course because I have PCOS my follies can be the right size but no egg may in there. I realized that one of my tubes were considered possibly blocked but I could not remember which. So the Dr. checked my records and of course it is my left tube which had the monster 23mm follie! The docs had a conference and decided to go ahead and give me the HCG trigger shot. It was actually painless and went by really fast. They informed me to have fun but not too much and report in 2 weeks for a blood test (pregnancy test). So right now is the waiting period. I go on Friday June 4 to find out if I have a little miracle inside me. Wish me luck.

Lately

I have not posted in such a long while! A lot has happened since my last post. In February I decided to do the regular 5K Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure and assmbled a team. We ended up with over 20 members! I made a friend during the event but unfortunately I also lost that friend. I am not sure what exactly occured. We were hosting a bake sale to raise money for the Race and sh bailed the day before citing work/school conflicts. Even though she was supposed to help me with preparations I just told her "Ok, that's fine" and I would speak with her soon. Well we spoke maybe 2 more times (through) text message and I have not heard back from her since. I was a little disappointed at first because I was excited about finally having a person here in CA I had a lot in common with. Anyhow the Race was a success and I cannot wait to do it again.

In March I lost my great grandmother. She was 92 years old. She lived a long life and she will be missed dearly. There were more than 140 grandchildren listed in the obituary!

I still have not been able to locate steady employment. I used to let it stress me out but now I just take it for what it's worth. I have started back scrapbooking. I am reading lots of books I have planned on reading but never got around to. A friend is teaching me to crochet. I have time for new recipes. I am taking better care of my hair. I have been working out and am seeing amazing results. I am doing very well in school and the list goes on and on. Like I said I am taking this unemployment for what it is worth and enjoying it instead of moping. My husband and I are blessed that he makes enough to pay our bills and we live a comfortable lifestyle. We have been to Sacramento and San Francisco in the last month and will be traveling again soon! I am very appreciative of my life.
