Our plan!

We just got home from our follow-up appointment with Dr. Slayden. Have I mentioned that I really like him? He has a great personality. He has put me on Glucophage (metformin) for my insulin level. This should help with gestational diabetes and once I get pregnant I'll continue on this to help prevent miscarriage as well. I'll then continue this pack of BCP until I start my period. Once I start my period I am to call his office and schedule an ultrasound and get a prescription for Clomid. After the ultrasound and everything looks good I'm all set for an IUI. Is this true...an actual plan to get pregnant? I am soo excited!! Could this be it?

Twenty-four hours to go...

I had a dream last night that my SIL was pregnant again and she sent my MIL dozens and dozens of balloons to tell her. They really want a boy since they have two girls and have made it perfectly clear they would like to get pregnant this year. I left a comment on her Facebook page about my crazy dream… Her response was “Hopefully this year we will be! We don't want to much of an age gap between Riley and the next one...keep fingers crossed for a boy!...lol.” As a read this tears began to well up in my eyes. I’m still struggling with the fact that it isn’t going to happen as easily for us. We do not have that option. Her and my BIL were pregnant twice in 2007. The first one ended in a miscarriage which saddened us all. On her next cycle she was knocked up again. She delivered in May one of the sweetest, pudgiest little girl I’ve ever seen! She has started into her phase of grabbing things and she loves to eat! I would not be surprised at this moment if she truly is pregnant. I’m having a hard time and hope the next 24 hours fly by. I’m dying for a plan and it better be something other than holding tight. It isn’t working for me.

My DH wasn’t happy at all about his appointment last week. He said until he reaches way over the age of 50 he will never be violated like that again. I felt so sorry for him. He shouldn’t have to go through this. He’ll find out his results this Thursday. I’m praying for good numbers!

One more week!

One more week and we'll finally be at our follow-up appointment with Dr. Slayden. I am so excited! I hope we can come up with a plan at this appointment. I hope this plan works. I hope that I get pregnant with this plan. I hope I don't get disappointed. I have a lot of hope at this point.

I had my follow-up with my Endocrinologist last week and received good news. The ultrasound did show that it is Graves disease. I've also been on PTU for a month now and my levels are finally going back to normal. I won't have to have my thyroid removed and I hope that one day drinking iodine will be removed from the list all together. I don't go back for another 5 weeks and I'll only see a PA. I'm really excited about this progress and hope that good news continues our way.

My DH has to have an ultrasound and another SA this Wednesday. Thank goodness he was able to schedule this before our appointment on the 20th. I want everything out of the way.

My period seems to be "normal", if what you consider normal is starting your period on the first day of a new pack of birth control. So I've taken two packs of BC and I've had two periods that have started on the same exact day each time. I'll take what I can get these days. Hopefully, this will be my third and final pack for a while.
