Yesterday, the 30th, I had the Sono HSG. It was a lot less painful than the dredded HSG that I did a couple years ago with the dye... ugh! This was more like a pap. I can't totally handle that!
I got to the RE at 10:30, got in a room, the Dr. came in with the nurse at 10:40. It was so good to see Dr. Doherty! She is such a funny, nice lady. Anyhoo, she got right to work. Got the speculum inserted, then a catheter with saline solution went next. They pumped the saline solution in, then came the dildo cam! Ahhh, my friend, it's been too long! :) She took a look around with that and saw my uterus looked perfect! I guess the saline solution is supposed to help any imperfections show up better on the ultrasound. Anything that would inhibit a good implantation. Pretty standard I guess for IVF second-rounders. I was out of there by 10:50, so it was pretty darn easy! Just had some light cramping for a couple hours after that, but nothing I can't handle!
So everything looks good, we now have the official "green light" on IVF! Now, I need to order my meds... oh boy.
It's been a tough road, but it's been totally worth it!

Here we go again!!
OK, I totally suck, by the way, for not keeping up with this blog better. Boy, my life is so different that it was a year ago! I have barely any free time at home anymore, it's all about a certain baby GIRL that keeps me on the move, and at work, well, we are down to 3 people in our department (used to be 7), so we are all super busy! So I don't get on here as often as I would like... now that this disclaimer is out of the way...
We are starting round #2 of IVF!!
Tommy and I both went in today to get blood drawn to start the process. This is day 3 of my cycle. I start birth control pills tomorrow for 3 weeks, then once my next cycle begins, the FUN begins!
I talked to the fertility pharmacy tonight, trying to get my meds ordered. I have to go back to my RE to see if I really need to order all the meds they prescribed,k or just order a few and see how much I will REALLY need. If I got everything they asked me to, the total was $4,421.49. OUCH!!!
So here we go again! The blood work, the ultrasounds, the shots, the money... all for another precious child. And I wouldn't change it for the world.
Elizabeth is now 14 months old and walking, or should I say running, around and getting into everything. She is such a sweetheart sometimes, always kissing the babies and animals she sees in her books, and stopping mid walk to stop and give mom or dad a kiss. Then there are times when she is down right onery. Temper tantrums have been popping up when you take somethign away from her she really wants, or she is tired, or hungy, or just plain mad! She has 4 teeth, and cutting 2 more uppers right now, so she is feisty!
But she is more than I ever imagined. That is the reason we go through this heartache and pain (physical and financial). Because she is the best thing that has EVER happened to us. And she needs a sibling! :)
So I will try and keep updated now that we have action going on in our lives again, another long journey ahead of us to get pregnant with number 2.
But it will work. We will have another child. And Elizabeth will have a sibling. I just know it.
