Went to the doc today to have my follicles checked before getting the trigger shot. No go on the trigger shot- Again! Apparently my ovaries don't feel like playing nicely. 3 days ago left ovary had 1 at 14 and 1 at 9, the right ovary had 1 at 14 and one at ~8. Should have had 2 nice and plump follicles when I went in today, but no. No I didn't. The smaller follicles on each ovary got a tiny bit bigger. The big one on the right grew by 1 (are these in mm? I can't remember). The big one on the left decide to just hang out and not grow. What a slacker.
No trigger shot today = no iui tomorrow = lots and lots of tears. I'm not even on clom.id, I'm on letr-zole. No chemical induced excuses for the extra tears. Its just me. I am now a blubbering mess a couple of times a week. I feel very sorry for my poor wife.
The game plan for the rest of this cycle is to keep going with the OPKs. If I get a positive, we'll probably insem. If I go past day 21 with no positive, doc will give me a shot to start AF.
I realized this was probably going to be a long journey, but I expected the heartache to come in the form of BFN's. Not from my body parts not cooperating. Argh!
On a brighter note, K took me out to celebrate my birthday yesterday. We went to a super fancy restaurant that had some very wonderful food. (Blue crab fritter was one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten.) It was a lovely evening. We even talked about things that had nothing to do with babies : )
My in-laws also called yesterday- to wish me happy birthday. Huh, still feels strange to say in-laws and not be fibbing. It was a very sweet, yet slightly awkward conversation. K found it odd that her parents called, yet mine did not. Oh well.
