It's amazing what doctors can do these days..

What a week!

Working like crazy, very tired...

Joe had surgery on his shoulder last week and everything went really well!  He is getting a lot of range of motion very quickly, I'm surprised.  He is going to have 3 little scars on his right shoulder but I was looking at it this morning and they are healing so well!

It's amazing what doctors can do these days...



Baby news?


No :-(


Well, Kinda.


So, I started the medication, Clomid. And you know all those little side effected that are posted on the side of the bottle that nobody ever gets?  Guess who got them all!! It was 5 days of hell!!! I won't go into details but believe me, it sucked. 
Well, I took the medicine from Saturday-Wednesday, and a checkup on Thursday.  No change in my folicles in my ovaries, no change in my bloodwork. I was a little disappointed but read online that it can take up to 5-10 days. There is still hope!
I went back the following Tuesday for my next checkup, It started off as a really bad day. My appointment was at 7:45 am, and I woke up at 7:40! I hit every red light on my way there, It was no fun... I finally arrived at 8:10 and was told to get ready, I said a little prayer that something would just happen. Anything, ya know?

My prayer worked. 

 During my ultra sound we found a folicle that is 14 mm!!! My biggest one to date is about 6-7mm, so finally, something is working in there! It needs to get up to 20 in order to ovulate and get real excited, but at least this is a start right?
She told me not to get too excited yet because we need to get my bloodwork back and see if it is producing estrogen. 
Okay, I understand. But I'm still excited!!!

Seeing that black blob on the ultra sound brought tears to my eyes, I can't even imagine what seeing a little babies heartbeat!!

About 2 hours later I get a call from my doctor saying that there was a spike in estrogen, from 34 (I dunno the measurement) to 86! She said it needs to be over 100 to do anything, but I have faith that when I go back Thursday morning, we very well may be over 20mm folicles and over 100 estrogen count.
Again, it's amazing what doctors can do...

Let's keep out fingers crossed!!!
