New hair cut!

Yikes, I asked her to it to chin length, instead I got jaw, just a bit over my ears! I guess that is what I get for going to the teaching schools, you just can't beat a $12 hair cut though. It'll grow back, right?!?

Nothing new to report, anxiously waiting for my follow up on Friday. I'm sooo not a patient person. I've always known that but the constant waiting of IF just wears me down.

Home sweet home

Four days with a bunch of 2 year olds. That's almost enough to make me question going through all this!

We had a good weekend with all the in-laws. I was in a good mood since the HSG went well. And of course, my niece is just about the cutest, sweetest little girl I've ever met. I even managed to not be too jealous of my 6 months pregnant sister in law. That green eyed monster only got to me a few times and lucky for me, my wonderful hubby noticed and was able to distract me.

After a LONG trip home (we thought we'd beat traffic by taking today off and driving home but apparently everyone else had that same thought), I'm very excited to be back home. Crazy how 4 days is enough to make you miss your routine. Now I'm off to go snuggle with....my kitty ;) He's even more excited that we're home!! Nothing like coming home to a pet ;)

All Clear!!

Got the all clear at my HSG this morning! Once I got over the cramping/burning, I was very excited. Now I've just got to wait until next Friday for our followup appointment with the RE.

The drive up to NY was uneventful. I, of course, got nervous going over all the bridges, and Mr. H of course made fun of me!

Off to HSG...

Much less nervous this morning.

I'll update with the results later this afternoon, whenever we get to NY.

Thanks for all the good wishes everyone!!

Brought to you by the emotion...

NERVOUS!

I'm getting more and more nervous for my HSG tomorrow morning. Not so much about the procedure itself, I'm viewing that as a step forward. Mostly just the unknown of it. And the fact that right afterwards we're getting in the car and driving to NY for my niece's birthday. We'll be staying with my mother-in-law.

Which brings me to a whole other set of emotions. Mr H. went up to see them one weekend in June when I had to work. He decided to tell his mother about our IF (apparently he thought I had said I was ok to start telling people...I was not).

So I think the emotion of the weekend is going to be dread. I'm dreading her saying something to me about the IF and I'm equally dreading her saying nothing and it being awkward. Hopefully all the focus will be on my niece and my sister in law, who's about 6 months pregnant.

Bye bye bitter self

So my bitterness from this morning is gone (well mostly). I was able to make all of my appointments. I have my HSG Friday morning at 9 and then my follow up with the RE Aug 10th. From there we come up with a plan!! From what we talked about at our last appt I'm guessing it will involve IUI, just not sure which types of meds.

I'm still working on formatting the blog. I added our timeline and some of the other blogs I like to read. I still haven't gotten to add them all, that takes awhile! So please don't feel bad if you aren't on there yet!

Day 2

So here's my struggle, and I think it is going to be what I struggle over the most about this blog.

I'd like to keep this upbeat and positive because that's generally how I am and even more importantly, it is how I want to be. But sometimes (like the last 2 days) so much crap is going on that I just can't do it.

Which leads me to my current battle...do I make the 2nd post of this blog bitter and angry since that is how I'm feeling right now or do I smile through it and know that I'll come out the other side? I feel as if this could set the tone for awhile to come.

Looks like I won't have time to decide since my cell is ringing and it's probably the RE office saying they can't help me schedule my HSG and I'm going to have to sit out yet another month (see that bitterness sneaking out)
