Mary Poppins and Kitty Cats

Well onto the next one.  We are trying a second month using the same dosage of medications and treatment plan.  One minor..ish change.  I no longer need a glass of water to take my estrogen. No, that doesn't mean I quit taking it, it just means that it goes somewhere else.  The ladies at the clinic said you can sometimes get better results this way and I told them.. what the hell, I'll give anything a shot. My nether region is becoming much like  Mary Poppin's bag with all sorts of stuff in there.  I joke, I joke, I kid, I kid.... but seriously... how many more things need to go up my hoo ha?

I know.. TMI! (Grandma and Papa... that means Too Much Information :) just in case you didn't know... love you!)  Back to business. Guess what folks... this is fertility treatment. The good, the bad, the ugly and plain weird. At this stage in the game,  I am way beyond being uncomfortable or embarrassed.  Modesty is not a luxury afforded to women in my position.  Now I just want to document the facts. Maybe someday some woman going through this same thing will read my post and feel better prepared for this journey, not quite so surprised by the process and potential treatments, or maybe I just really wanted to gross you out.  Either way  this post will probably be a win win :)

Treatment this month:
Prenatal Vitamin: daily
Femara; 3.5 mg day 3-7
Estrodial: 2 mg day 7- whenever I text and possibly beyond
Gonal Injections: .75 day 5 and day 7
Sonogram: day 12
Ovidrel Injection: Day 12
IUI: Day 14
Progesterone: Day 15- whenever I test again

I am already two weeks in the sono revealed two very large follies. Nurses had me trigger Friday and we had our 4th IUI on Sunday morning.  Now we enter or bagillionth two week wait. ( I know that isn't a number or a word and I don't give a crap. This feels like f-o-r-e-v-e-r ... so I think i have earned the right to make up number words)

No photos from this months IUI.. I totally forgot. So I decided to share a different kind of photo. I also believe that after all I have been through I am allowed to share pictures like this... without fear of retaliation.. sorry Kylee but your uni brow cat face makes me laugh... hard :) when I am having a bad day I just look at it and things get better.  How could I deny the world the same happiness. (I will also know pretty quickly if you have been staying on top of your reading hehehe )
