Sunday: I got into a car wreck with my husband. I rear-ended him. The main problem was that he just put the trailer hitch on the new truck so it jacked my car. Suck. Then, we went to go see some old friends. We used to live pretty close and see each other almost every dau, but we moved and only get to see them every so often. We were catching up and she told me she was pregnant. Again. This is her 5th kid! Here's the conversation:
Her: "We are having another one in December"
Me: "Really? (I was caught totally off guard) Wow. Good for you."
Her: "Yeah it was earlier than we expected but Husband always talks about having 10 kids so it's fine. (Again, this is their 5th. She isn't kidding about the 10 kids)"
The conversation kind of fizzled from there. The thing that bugs me the most is that she knows about our infertility struggles! And she's just like "yeah, earlier than we expected". Really lady? Because mine is 3 years later than I expected.
Monday: I start day 1 of cycle and call the doctor's office. Schedule an appoint for a sono for Tuesday morning to see if the cysts decreased enough to start treatment this cycle. I am nervous and freaking out all day but work was really busy so at least I was somewhat distracted. I'm grateful for priesthood blessings and the comfort that comes from them.
Tuesday: Sono bright and early. Nothing like being prodded at 8 in the morning. Luckily, it was good news! My right ovary had two huge cysts and they are down to 15 mm. The left is even smaller. I was so excited (the cut off is 18 mm) and may or may not have jumped off the table holding the little paper sheet around me and did a happy dance. I am so lucky to have the job that we have because Peter has never missed an appointment and we were both so excited. They did estrogen and FSH tests to confirm that the cysts are not going to throw off the cycle but if everything goes well, I start clomid this Friday! Needless to say, I was really nervous when I saw the office number calling my cell phone, but the nurse was just calling to say my levels were fine and that I should order the meds (already done by this point). YAY. Insert happy dance again.
Then, my SIL (younger brother's wife) was texting me asking how it went. I told her the story and she proceeded to tell me she is taking FertilAid (she has a hard time ovulating). I didn't even know they were "trying"!!!! They just had their one year anniversary. Like three days ago. Then she told me she has been taking it for 3 weeks and is impatient waiting for it to work. 3 WEEKS? Try 3 YEARS. I am not the person to talk to about being impatient. What's with the insensitive people this week? I don't mind talking to her about my fertility treatments or giving her advise for going to the doctor, but I don't want to talk about how impatient she is waiting for these pills to kick in. If they get pregnant before me, I really might just hurt myself. Or somebody else.
To end on a happy note, we are both just so excited to go forward with this cycle. D just turned to me out of nowhere and said "I am so happy. I feel so relieved that we can move forward this month." I love him.
