Repeat U/S

I've been sick for the past 3 days so I haven't felt like sitting at the computer. I did see my RE yesterday for another u/s though and wanted to post an update. The cyst is still there and the RE said that it looks like my ovary might have even attached to my uterus because of the pressure from the cyst. So in the words of my RE "that buys me a ticket to the OR". I'll be having a lap next cycle. He said that we could try to squeeze it in this week but I need time to put in for time off work plus I feel crappy this week already, no need to add to it. He canceled my HSG since I'm having a lap done anyway. He said that if he thinks I really need the HSG he can just do it while I'm out for the lap. So I get to call on CD 1 and schedule surgery. I'm pretty nervous because I've never had any kind of surgery before and never had to be put under. I'm just glad it's an outpatient surgery.

More tests

I went in today for my CD 3 labs. Not sure when I should have the results. My RE's office has a voicemail box for each patient to call in to check labs. They never put Danny's SA information on mine though, I had to ask today. The nurse and the lab tech both said his numbers look fine. I didn't get copies and I don't remember the exact count but motility was 57% and morphology was 11%. The lab tech said that she hardly ever sees morphology much higher than that because their standards for "normal" are so high. I also finally got to see the numbers from his first SA. Count was normal, motility 43% and morph. 8%. So both motility and morph. went up! I'm going back in on Tuesday morning for another ultrasound and then my HSG is Friday morning.

Stupid AF

AF showed up this morning after spending all day yesterday teasing me. I called the RE's office this morning to get everything scheduled (blood work, HSG, ultrasound). The way they do things is you call them and leave a message for a nurse. The nurse gets your chart and calls you back. So now I'm waiting for them to call back. I'm really mad at AF, not for showing up but for waiting so long to show up. A 15 day LP? That's crazy! My LP is usually 13 days at the longest. Plus now I'll have to take Ashton with me when I go in for blood work. He's at grandma's today but he's coming home tomorrow. So now I get to be the jerk that brings a kid to the RE with me. Wonderful.

I tried to do the 30 Day Shred this morning. I say "tried" because I only made it through about 10 minutes before I was so out of breath I thought I was going to die. I guess I'm more out of shape than I thought. I'm going to give it another try tomorrow though. I am not quitting!

Ups and Downs

Yesterday was Super Bowl XLIII and my favorite team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, actually won! This makes the sixth Super Bowl the franchise has won, the most in the NFL. Go Steelers!!

Then I woke up this morning and temped. Major temp drop. AF should be making an appearance today. My chart this cycle looked sooo good (nice, high temps, a long LP) but I did have a lot of spotting. I don't know if it was the Clomid or the cyst but I have never had that much spotting before. So as soon as AF makes her appearance I'll be calling the RE to schedule CD 3 blood work, an HSG and a repeat ultrasound. I really hope they won't have to do too many ultrasounds because insurance doesn't cover them and they're $173 each. I thought the expensive part of having a baby was supposed to happen after the baby was born.

Also with AF's arrival comes the start of 30 Day Shred. My mom brought me some hand weights so I'll be all ready to start tomorrow morning!
