Ultrasound is done. End result: yep, I’ve been feeling it on my right for a reason. I have 4 in total, 1 on my left (known open) side, 3 on my right (unknown). But I don’t know, I just can’t seem to muster up a whole lot of enthusiasm. I can cross all my fingers though, for sure.

Full stats:
My lining was 8mm triple layer.
Left side had one 23mm follicle.
Right side had a 22, a 24.5, and a 25mm.
All four follicles were mature and ready to go.

So I got my trigger shot (stomach again – I requested it, since I barely feel it going in). Going in for my IUI tomorrow.

At the end of the appointment I asked about maybe making an appointment with the RE herself to talk about what we’ll do if this cycle doesn’t work. She originally said their protocol is 3 clomid IUIs, then 3 injects IUIs before IVF – but our insurance only covers 3 IUIs total. So I want to find out if we’re going to do an injects next cycle, continue with the clomid (since I AM getting a huge response out of them), and if we’re going to move on to IVF after three cycles of insurance-paid IUIs or if she really wants us to do more IUIs even if we have to pay for it. So anyways I went to make an appointment and the earliest she has open is mid-February. I kept saying, “I need something in the next two weeks,” and the receptionist replied with, “Is February 20th okay?” Grrrr. So I don’t know what to do really. I’m going to call the nurses line to see if they can figure it out without me needing to actually come in for an appointment, maybe they can get the Dr to call me or something. Because otherwise we’re going to be mid-cycle 3 before even getting to ask her, and obviously by then it’s too late to change our plan for cycle 3’s IUI. Whatever.

Plus Den was a little annoying today. I know we didn’t get much sleep (though I was awake before the alarm even went off, guess I was anxious about the appointment). The whole way there he was having temper issues with other drivers on the road – and to be fair they were worse than normal, but still is cursing really going to fix it? Then when I brought up to him about seeing the Dr he said I should schedule it for after my period is supposed to come. I tried patiently to explain to him that clomid starts on day 3, and I don’t KNOW when my period will come, so that would be too late to change what we’re doing and he got all pissed off at me (because I wasn’t agreeing with him – damn that logic). I honestly don’t know what that was about, but that put me in a bad mood. And THEN the entire time we were at the doctors he was reading a magazine. And every time I spoke to him he’d only half-listen, with an expression on his face like I was interrupting him. I didn’t ask him to come along so he could sit there like a lump on a log… I actually wanted some company. The only thing he did do was jot down the numbers as the nurse did my ultrasound, like I asked him to. But next time I think I’ll just ask him to stay home. Grrrr.

I should be excited today, but instead I’m feeling exceedingly grumpy.
