Default so anxious...

Ok so I am biteing my nails over here, stressing out. Last month was the first time I was doing Gonal F shots, and planned to do my 1st IUI. Then I had too many follicles so they cancelled and we were going to go for IVF instead. And as you all know that didn't happen due to my brother-in-law's accident. It was a way too emotional week to do the IVF. So I had to cancel. Now due to insurance reasons, this month Ill have to try for IUI again, unless I produce too many follicles again and they bump me to IVF. I'm feeling so anxious to get this show on the road. We were soooooo close last time (I'm talking days) it was right at our fingertips. AF should be here around the 15th-17th. I just want it to come already!! Never thought I'd actually WANT AF to come. But I want to get going on this 2nd attempt for IUI. What is even harder is my sister is 5 months pregnant. And she wasn't even really trying, and BAM! She really dosen't understand how hard this year and 1 1/2 trying has been on me. And she just doesn't get it. I love taking pictures, and somehow I got nominated to take pictures of her pregnant belly each month (thanks for the torture) . She doesn't understand. So I am just wanting anxiously, biteing my nails, wanting to start this next cycle and pray for a bun in the oven soon . I figure something good has to happen, out of all the bad that has happend lately.
Thanks for letting me vent ladies!!

Ok this is really weird but I got AF today at work. I was like HUH?? Its not suppose to be here till the weekend. And Im never early? So I called the dr to tell her I got it, and asked if it was normal to get it this early. And she said that it was ok, that its because of the meds. So Weds I have to go in for the 1st ultrasound. And Ill probably start the Gonal shots again Weds as well. I'm thinking the IUI will most likely take place end of next week. How weird is that though,that I was just saying last night that I wanted AF to come to get things started?????? That is just tooo weird..And its even more perfect timeing because my husband will be ASE classes (machanic certificates) 24th-27th. So we were praying the IUI wouldn't fall on those days. What luck...we will just make it!!!! YAHHOOOOO....
You girls gave me good luck!!!!! Thank you!

Heather--wow! That's weird but cool, huh? lol I'm hoping and praying everything falls into place for you. I'm wondering if they will tone down your meds so you don't produce too many follies?

I'm sorry about your sister as well. Have you opened up and told her how you feel? I'm way behind-my sis is 3.5 yrs younger than me and has a 12 yr old and a 9 yr old. Neither planned. I put on 6 baby showers in 6 months when drs. first told me I may never have children. (I was 18-20 and single at the time they found all the problems.) Well some of them, so I know how hard it is. I'm sorry.

How is your brother-in-law? Is he going to be ok? I've been wondering about that.

You take care and keep us posted. I'll be around!
