5 weeks

Tomorrow is 5 weeks. In a week and a half we go for our first OB scan. They will be able to tell us if there are multiples. Omg. We are kind of expecting it though, so we are taken by such surprise. I haven't had too much of nausea, but I have such bad gas. It's coming out of both ends constantly. Partly due to the pregnancy, and partly due to the extra progesterone that I have been taking. It was great seeing the positive pee tests. It was amazing getting the official positive from the blood test. And, it was also fantastic getting told my hormone levels are beautiful. I am still very careful. The first trimester is the most dangerous. I am taking it easy, and allowing my wonderful wife and parents to take care of me. I am tired very quickly, and I also have heartburn often, so I am trying to avoid all of the trigger foods.

Pregnant!!!

Too excited to write a whole post, but here's the scoop. We are pregnant, and oh so happy!

One More Day

One more day before we find out if we are expecting. My stomach is in knots. Literally! My stomach has been killing me. I also have so much gas!!! I read that it might have something to do with the progesterone suppositories. I don't know how I will handle another negative, so for my sanity's sake, I pray that we see a positive on that pee stick. In one way, I want to test by myself, so I could be upset by myself. Or to plan something special to tell Jenn that it was a positive. I will probably get killed by my wife if I keep it to myself.

5 more days

Jenn asked me this morning if we could test now. I promptly said no way and went on with getting ready for the day. 🐵

1 Week and Counting

Real or Imagined Symptoms

1. Gas
2. Frequent Urination
3. Tender Breasts

Tomorrow marks a week that we did the insemination. I feel okay, but a little anxious. My parents will arrive the day after we get the news, and it is hard not to think of fun ways to tell that that we will be having a baby (or two). If I don't get pregnant this time, does that mean that I am defective? I mean, I should be getting pregnant. My follicles are beautiful, my lining is thick, and we had a good spermy count. I am praying hard, and Jenn is talking to my belly every night (and sometimes morning).

4 follicles

So we had another baseline this morning at 7:30 (ay dios mio). Everything looks really good so far, and I have produced 4 mature follicles. My lining is on track, and then Saturday morning we will have another look to make sure we can take the ovidrel that evening. We are really excited and, like my coworker said... Talking this baby into existence. Wish us luck and fertile thoughts.

The injections start

So I have been taking Chlomid again for 5 days and today I started the menapur injections. Jenn was especially nervous this morning with having to mix up all the potions into the needle. But, we got it done this morning at 9AM and then we were off to work.
Current medications:
Chlomid
Menapur (2 vials)
Gonirelax (sp?)
Ovidrel
Progesterone
Prenatal Vitamins

So, I had been taking prenatals for almost a year now, getting my body ready for needing to carry a child. I had been doing fine swallowing these huge pills, and then 2 weeks ago I could not do it any longer. The pills started to get stuck in my throat, and it would take about 10 minutes of me coughing, choking, and throwing up to get it down. Yesterday, I borked down and bought gummy prenatals. LOL. They are actually tasty, but they are a little pricey as you have to take 2 of these at a time.
Mom and dad get here in less than 3 weeks, and we should get the news while they are with us. Wouldn't it be great if I got the BFP, and was able to share it with them here?!?
