We came into this world of infertility with some answers that a lot of people have to wait months for...saved a lot of time when it came to getting down to business. After meeting with and RE (reproductive endocrinologist) for the first time, he assured me he could get us pregnant! He said exactly what I wanted to hear! Sent hubby off for a report and got what we expected, not the best news, even still the RE was confident that an IUI would do the trick. I was confident in his confidence, didn't question it, and wanted to get started. He made us wait 3 months, ugh, while DH took some vitamins that were supposed to make things a bit better, so we were off!
It was May 08. September rolls around and it was time to get started, they had me start on Clomid, seemed easy enough! So we start in, and were so super excited, that this could be it! Then the dreaded Hurricane Ike rained on my parade. We stayed through the storm, lost power, and a tree had a close encounter with our pool, what a mess! It was hot, and humid, YUCK! My lovely sister in law asked us to come stay a couple of days, it was 3 hours north of us, we thought that sounded like a good idea. We could only stay for a couple days since I had an appointment to see how my little follicles were growing...unfortunately I didn't know if they would even be able to do the appointment, the power was still out, and the phones weren't working. I finally got through the day before the appointment and they told me the building had power just no phones.. Yay! I was worried that it was a wash!
So I go in and they pull out the wand and take a look at what's going on. This was the first time I had gone through this, so I didn't quite know what to expect. They measured things and didn't say much. After they were done, I get decent again and they tell me they are going to have to cancel this cycle. Um, excuse me, what did you just say! Apparently I had developed a cyst on my right ovary, I didn't like the clomid. It was too large and they couldn't proceed. It came as a total surprise, I never expected to be canceled. I called my DH in tears and gave him the unexpected news.
One more month down the tubes!

mommy blogger. As a mother that has suffered the loss of multiple children while becoming a mother of the bride to our oldest, raising 2 young adults, an 8 year old preemie and a 6 year old tornado, I have a lot to share. I can't guarantee you will agree with everything I say, but I think you may just enjoy it. This is our life, the good, bad and ugly.
