Cycle Update

It looks like our IUI is tentatively set for Monday the 20th! I had an ultrasound this morning and I think I still have a good amount of eggies.  I usually do not ask how many! I will worry myself too much if I know too many details.  It prevents me from googling too much! I go back for another u/s tomorrow (and will ask how many), and will take ganiralex most likely tomorrow & saturday morning, and then trigger on Saturday night.  My RE is a single practitioner and does not do procedures on Sundays (I think when I was TTC#1, after many BFNs and our two early losses, there was one time he might have done one on Sunday had I needed it but it turned out I did not).  That is the only bad thing about having a doctor who is a single practitioner as there is not someone else to do procedures on Sundays.  And I know truly it is probably hard working 6 days a week already so I try not to stress about it.  But with spending all this money on medication & everything (since my insurance coverage is minimal), it is hard at the same time!  So, we shall see what happens!  I am crossing my fingers that we are successful this cycle!  I have to admit though I do not remember having so many appointments when we doing IUIs last time.  Today was my third appointment so in total, this cycle I will have 5 appointments.  I am sure it is normal but I just do not remember it being that many.  I guess in the past some have fallen on a Saturday so I probably did not pay attention as it did not interfere with work. 

My dr is over an hour away from my house and then a half hour to work so I am struggling with how to manage it with work.  I am able to get into work about 9/9:30 and try to work through my lunches & stay as late as possible, but with having Aaron now, I want to get home to spend a little time with him as our time at night during the week is limited as it is.  I told a co-worker at work about what we are going through and she has been great!  She has one son (she struggled with infertility / miscarriage but was able to have her son naturally.  They decided not to pursue treatments.)  It is very helpful to have a friend at work who understands even though she has not experienced the treatment part.  But she knows the pain / stress of the time it can take to get pregnant! 

I have decided to kind of tell my manager.  I have been trying to keep it on the low down as he is very flexible with hours but I do not think I have much of a choice especially if this cycle does not work.  I am going to keep my conversation generic.  I feel weird as I told him today I needed to talk to him but we never had a chance to.  I think he thinks I have a life or death condition.  I did not mean to lead him down the wrong path.  I was just trying to get a few minutes to explain.  He will not be in the office tomorrow either so I will just let my co-worker know my schedule for Monday and tell him when I get into the office after the IUI.  In the end as long as I get my work done, hopefully everything will be OK! 

I should get going to clean up the house a little before my DH & little boy get home.  My in-laws are coming over for the weekend.  I have not seen my boys since Tuesday morning as I was at a conference the last two nights!  I am very excited to see them!
