I started my period on Friday..yay. We are going to repeat the same protocol as before with the Femara and timed intercourse. I am hoping I respond to Femara again. I would like to not have to take the trigger shot since it made me a friggin' hormonal mess, but I will do whatever it takes. I seriously cry at everything.
I can't believe that I start back to work in a week. I am not ready, I don't feel as if I have had enough summer!
There was a Fandom Fest in our city and it was awesome! I got to meet/see some of the cast of The Walking Dead! I had my picture taken and I got a big hug from Norman Reedus (aka Daryl Dixon)! He was super nice and took time with every fan and trust me there were TONS of fans there for him! D enjoyed it so much! He would stop and hug me every little bit and kept telling me how awesome it was to be there! This was his birthday present so I am really glad he had a good time. He got to see people from tons of the TV shows he watches. I told him for my birthday he could take me to the Supernatural convention! I do love that show!

Ultrasound
Things never seem to be easy...
I got a positive OPK on Monday night so I called first thing Tuesday morning to set up my Ultrasound (u/s) to see how well I responded to Femara. I had one measurable follicle but it was no where near the size it needed to be to create a positive OPK. So the doctor thinks that my body has been in major fake out mode for some time now. I produce the hormone to get the +OPK but my ovaries really don't do anything. He did say there was a REMOTE possibility that I had already ovulated but he didn't really think that was the case.
I was really upset that day but I did make it to my car before I cried. I had a slight pity party for a day and ate my feelings. I didn't let it keep me down long. I am really ok either way. I know that we have options with doubling the meds next cycle or if I have already ovulated. Our timing was good if I did ovulate so we will see.
Insurance booted out my surgery so I had to call and have my doctor's office send over the medical records, keep your fingers crossed they will cover it. If not, I am going to be paying $9000. Just another bump in the road.

The aftermath
Things have been pretty low key around here. I have recovered from my surgery totally and started Femara on CD3. I have some hives...is it connected or not? I am not sure, but they are irritating. I take my last dose tonight and now we wait. I am on CD7 so I will start doing OPKs on CD 10. Once I get my positive OPK, I call the doctor and set up a time for an ultrasound. I do love the dildo cam...I haven't had to visit it for a year now so I hope it at least buys me dinner! :)
I had my niece and nephew for a few days and we had an awesome time! We went to movies, out to eat, to a birthday party and so much more! I am exhausted! Sleeping on our futon is like all night torture!
Benny has been a terror. He was totally out of control while the kids were here. He loved them so much that he was just out of control. He would bite their feet and even started humping things, WHICH HE HAS NEVER DONE! I am hoping that was just a phase...it might mean that it is time to get him fixed. He also went through a food strike. Thankfully that is over, we went and bought some different food since he had been eating the same food for 8 months now. Maybe he was tired of it, who knows, he's eating now.
OH and the fireworks...For the love of all things holy, they must stop! They make Benny crazy! He shakes and cries and pees in the floor. It's awesome. He has always been afraid of loud noises so this is just a terrible time of year. I love him but man this has been a hard couple of weeks with him!
