My New Year wish is probably similar to most peoples wish... I wish all those around me to be happy and healthy. I also am wishing that this will be my year for a baby!
I was able to go to the fertility doctor today. I had the usual done blood work and an ultrasound. Things looked good this time around so I was able to get my medications called in and will start tomorrow. This round will be a little different from last time. I will be taking Tamoxifen and taking the Bravelle shots all at the same time. I will then go back to Fertility Institute to have more blood work and another ultrasound. This will tell me how my body is reacting to the medications. I may have to continue the shots for a little longer but I will get to do IUI again and that is all that matters.
I am hopeful for a great new year and a fresh start! I wish everyone a very happy new year!

**Thankful**
I have been so caught up in "what's the next step" that I feel like I have lost sight of all the things that I am thankful for.
I am very thankful for the family and friends that I have: Everyone has been so supportive and involved in our journey to pregnancy! I know that I can always pick up the phone and talk to someone that is going to make sure that I am comforted in what ever has taken place. We are so lucky to have people praying for our success and who are interested in learning more about infertility. I cant imagine life without these wonderful people!
I am also very lucky and grateful that my insurance is covering this process. There are so many people that are going through the same thing as me, but can not continue with the treatments due to the astronomical cost. One month of treatment can be $5000.00+. These physicians are fantastic and are worth every penny.
Most importantly I am so thankful for my husband, who has been so supportive and understanding through this. When I feel like I am letting him down the most he is there to pick me back up. He is there to humor me when I am being irrational and is able to put me back in my place when I am being impossible. Randy keeps me laughing and upbeat.
For all of these things I am grateful, thankful, and happy.

Ready.... Set..... STOP!
Well, the last round of injections and insemination did not take but I guess it was a good trial run.
I had an appointment today to start my second round. At this appointment they do an ultrasound and some lab work. While getting the ultrasound I noticed a follicle that was larger than it should be. I asked the nurse later about this and she told me that it should not be a problem and told me that I would start medicaion and injections again tonight. I was also told the office would call me back later in the day and let me know about my blood work.
The doctors office called me today at about 2:00 and told me that the larger follicle was an issue and that I would not be able to take the medication or do the injections this month. I was also put on birth control for the month. I have to admit that this news had me very very upset.
I was OK with knowing that I was not pregnant this month... I knew that it was unlikely that I would get pregnant the first round. The part that disappoints me the most is that I am just sitting idol for an entire month. I was really getting excited (well, i guess as excited as you can get about shots) about starting the next round of injections.
I will take this month to get back to the gym and start jogging again.... I can't just let my body completely relax.
