Another Wednesday

So time for a much needed update....

I got a raise! $1/hr, so not too shabby. I was pretty excited about it.

A and I are going to Disneyland next weekend, I am super excited. And as far as I know we are also going on a cruise in Jan with my parents. Got the time off, just need to get the cruise booked. Yippee! That helps with the stress level.

I baked some cookies last week, but I forgot to take pics so I wasn't able to put up the recipe. It's one of our favorite kinds though, so next time I make them I will get some and put it up. They are delicious.

I had my endometrial biopsy on Monday. I was pretty nervous going into it, but it wasn't THAT bad, about as bad as my HSG or a little bit less.
I went in at about 1:55p for my 2pm appt. They took me back and asked if I had a full bladder, too bad I didn't as I didn't know it was necessary. So I got to sit in the exam room for 30 min drinking three huge glasses of water to get that going. Then he did the procedure. It was painful for maybe 5 sec. I just tried to keep breathing. So now all we need are these results and maybe we can make a plan.

That's about it for now. I have been sick the last two days (along with A) so I am headed up to bed for some much needed rest.

Hump day

So I went to the doctor yesterday. I had an ultrasound to see how the lining was doing - turns out my body is not all that great at regulating, even when I am all drugged up. The lining looked okay the doctor said, but other than that, when he looked at my ovaries he said it looked like one was gearing up to release an egg, which when on estrogen, it is not supposed to do.
So I am to use OPK's until Sunday and if I don't get a positive by then I am supposed to start the progesterone as instructed. Then my biopsy would be on the 13th of Oct.
So we will see how that goes. Hopefully I can get through this cycle "correctly". It was somewhat depressing to think that my body cannot figure out how to do what its supposed to do on medicine - how is it ever going to figure out HOW to get pregnant, let alone carry a baby?
He also gave me back my results from A's test and my clotting test. A's test came back pretty much perfect, and mine came back showing slight problems. It is slightly confusing to understand because he didn't explain it in depth, as he didn't seem concerned at all. But out of 10 factors that can be abnormal, I came back with 4. Using his lingo it wasn't anything that "would make him jump out of his socks".

On a more chipper note, when speaking with one of my bosses, she mentioned a raise to me yesterday. We will see if it goes any further than that, but I will keep my fingers crossed for it. We have a big new project going on at work and I am trying to help out my boss with as many "little" (not always so little, but somewhat menial and time-consuming, but necessary, like taxes) things as I can, so they can focus on more important matters. So hopefully that is looking good and I will get rewarded for it. And also for the fact that when I am out of town, I am totally missed and they seem so grateful for me to return and pick up my "slack" again.

Anyway, I just wanted to check in real quick because I have been so lax lately. That's it for now though.
