Avoidance

I haven't updated my blog in a while and I suppose that it's due to the fact that I feel like I'm writing the same stuff all over again.  From this, you can probably guess that IUI #4 was a bust and I'm once again in limbo.

I was feeling so great about the IUI working this past time, too.  I had an acupuncture session on day 12 which, according to my acupuncturist, is the "optimal" day.  My IUI was on a Sunday and God bless the doctor and his nurse who came in to perform it for me.  I was really hoping that it would all be worth the hassle and everyone's time and actually work.  But on March 22, Aunt Flo arrived with her lovely gift to me.  Fun times.

I also have a brand new niece...just two days old.  And man is she gorgeous.  Holding her today just reaffirmed that I will do whatever it takes to have one of my own.  I couldn't help but keep staring at her just wondering if anyone else realized what a complete miracle she is.  She's beautiful and perfect and I wish I could steal her and have her as my own.  Love her already!

The Hubs and I are set to see my regular doctor on Tuesday.  We're going to ask if there is anything we can do while we wait to see our new RE (whom we aren't scheduled to see until October!!!).  I wasn't sure if there were any tests or other methods we could get out of the way before seeing him.  And it sounds as if IVF is the way the new RE is going to go, according to the phone conversation I had with his nurse.  I've debated making another appointment at my current RE's office - maybe with one of the other doctors - to see what we can accomplish in the interim.  I just don't know that I can wait until October.  But then again, being off of the meds and not stressing about ovulation testing and scheduled intercourse is a bit of a relief.

So, I'm going to work on my golf game and some photography to keep my mind occupied.  But seeing that little baby every day (and I can't help but want to see her every day) isn't making this wait any easier.
