18 days late and counting…

27 03 2009

Yep thats right. I am 18 days late right now. Im 99.9% sure Im not pregnant so here I sit waiting, confused, and a little annoyed.

On the bright side I have a new RE. I will be seeing him April 2nd. My OB sent him an email directly to get me an apt and I got a call the next morning saying they could get me in there in a week. That is pretty much unheard of and when I called back in November it was going to take months to get in. So for all that I have gone through in the last week I am thankful that something worked out quick and easy! Now if my period could wait a week then I wouldnt have to wait an entire month to even get started again!

Other “exciting” April news is I have Jury duty. I have to call in for like 2 weeks at the end of April.

Well thats about it for an update. Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Life in Limbo…

23 03 2009

On Friday at around 5pm my regular OB called. She was so sorry for how things had turned out and basically told me that they cannot see me to do the injectables. They dont feel they have the means to monitor me like I should. Since this has been so messed up she basically told me she would find me an apt at an RE in the cities. Originally that was the plan but it was going to take 2 months to get in so that is why we opted with Mayo. Little did we know how much time would be involved in taking off work and how much more they charge to do everything. After having gone through IUI’s last year I knew about what they cost but didnt realize how much more blood draws, etc they would expect out of me. So right now we are in limbo. A part of me feels we should keep going with this until my IUI’s run out. The other part of me wonders if this isnt the path the Lord wants us to take right now. I am taking on a new role a church. What that role is I dont fully know at this point but has got me thinking that maybe that should be my focus right now and that in being obedient to the Lord that He will ultimately bless us with a child in His timing. So right now I dont have any idea what we are going to do. I think that I need to at least get 1 cycle in with this new clinic so that I am in their system. If it doesnt work at least they have all my history and it is a lot easier to jump back in after you have a record with them as opposed to starting all over again. The reason I feel this might be a good idea is because my period still isnt here. It’s been 41 days since my last cycle and I just know that this isnt normal. My body isnt working the way a normal person’s does.

So thats the latest. Please pray for guidence for us and also just a peace about every aspect of this. I know that the Lord is taking me somewhere. Im just not sure where or what that somewhere is yet. But I did see a church sign today that really hit home: Where God guides….God provides….

My Nurse Practitioner… :(

20 03 2009

I just copied this from my msg board because I am too lazy to retype this but I am so beyond discouraged right now.

I have been seeing the same nurse practitioner for over 2 years now. She has been doing all my IUIs/clomid cycles and all my IF work up and everything! She was so awesome and I felt so confident in her. I talked to her last week and told her I didnt want to keep seeing the RE I wanted to come back to her and how stressful it was seeing the RE and 10x more expensive, way more time off work and so on. So we set a plan up and as soon as my period showed I was to call her. Well I called today to say my period still isnt here and what do I do and to have her call me. Well a nurse calls and says she is no longer here but I’ll run all this by the on call doc. So then I told her just to run it by my reg OB who is at that same office. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!! I asked if they all do the IUIs, etc and she said yes. I like my OB but I just really have never felt more comfortable with a doctor/nurse practitioner before and now she’s gone. :( . My first IUI she asked if we brought candles to set the mood and it was just too funny and so made the experience easier as you dont really know what to expect with that first one. :(

I am waiting still for a call back to see what I should do next.

Back to my somewhat original plan

10 03 2009

We decided today that we will no longer be doing any fertility treatments at Mayo. It was a very stressful situation with tons of missed work and way more money than we should be paying on it and to top it off they didn’t tell me anything I didn’t already know and the cycle didn’t work. Not that I am blaming that part of them because really it is no one’s fault that I am still not pregnant. I called my Nurse Practitioner that was seeing me for all my previous IUI’s and misc cycles. I went over everything with her and decided that I will go back to her from here on out. She can do everything Mayo can and she is over an hour and half closer (when I am going to work after apts). She is only 20mins away from home. So I am very excited about all of this. We will be starting back with her as soon as my next cycle starts and I will be doing all injectables again. I responded fine on them and had no issues so we will try it again. She starts me off later on them and does things differently than Mayo so hopefully this will FINALLY be it for us! I am praying really hard that this will finally work. Especially this month as it was the cycle I got pregnant in last year and I would be due in December again. So basically this is the last chance to have a baby in 2009! PLEASE LORD LET THIS BE IT! Please pray for us! This last year and half has been super long and I am just so beyond ready to be a MOM.

In other news I am now going to our other campus for church now. I have taken on a new role in the Children’s Ministry and am really excited and feel that the Lord is going to use me in a big way down in Faribault. (www.rivervalleychurch.org ) I am so excited and hope the children’s ministry and the church as a whole grows in every way possible in the coming months and years!!

Well thats about it for now. Its Nils and his mom’s birthdays this week so we have lots going on! :)

I’ll update again when everything starts up again! Till then hope everyone has a great rest of the week!
