I am hanging out 6dpiui and wishing I had decided to test out my trigger shot. I know it has been gone by 8dpt in the past which would be tomorrow, so I guess I could test tomorrow to see. But I really should be good and just wait until 14dpt. I know I should wait but I just want to pee on something... Even if it is to see the false 2 lines from the trigger shot.
I guess I will be good and wait until next Thursday and if no AF I will test then. But Tuesday is so much closer...... :)
I am so so so bloated it isn't even funny. All my pants feel tight, I might have to wear dresses until we figure out what is going on (in other words + or -)
My back is doing better. I called a chiropractor on Monday and she got me in first thing Tuesday morning. My Sacroiliac Joint was totally pulled over to the right and as a result my whole pelvis was out of whack. So she did some adjusting and then I had to sit at my desk all freaking day which about killed me. I had to get up every 20 mins.
Wednesday I woke up and got out of bed easier but the muscles were sooooo sore it wasn't funny. Sitting at work still sucked but it was better. That brings us to today... I got out of bed so much easier than any day in the past. Muscles are still sore but not as bad. Sitting in the desk chair still sucks but way better.
So I treated myself to a pedicure tonight and then made myself go grocery shopping, since E never actually does a big shopping trip. Now sitting on the couch I feel my back tightening up I need to go get some ice. I go back to the chiropractor tomorrow evening I hope it is my last visit, all depends on if things stayed where she adjusted them too!

IUI#5 is in the books!!
I slept horrible last night between my back and the fireworks, maybe the 5k wasn't such a good idea! and maybe I should have gone to the dr... but shhhh don't tell anyone I said that!!
I was up when E left for the dr but couldn't move to get out of bed. Eventually I made it to the tub and decided maybe a soak would help. NOPE! but I didn't get stuck in the tub so that was a good thing! I was beginning to wonder if I would even be able to lay down and scooch for the IUI. I even wore a dress so there was less bending to put pants back on.
E got home right before I was leaving and was all amped up and lovey, I wish I hadn't been in pain, I have been a bitch since I hurt myself.
So I headed down to the Dr. and managed to get up on the table and wait, there was no foot rest pulled out and I couldn't bend to do it myself so it started hurting about the time the Dr came in. She is the same one who has done all my IUIs and had a new Dr with her so she was more friendly and informative than normal. But she said we had really really good sperm counts. Post wash 86 million with 90% motility. That is like 3 times what we have had for other IUIs!!!!!!!! She was very happy with how this cycle was looking, so FX that it all works out and we add another March birthday to this family!!!
Other than that I have been suffering most of the day with my back. It is better than Wednesday when I hurt it but getting up, changing positions and sitting for too long all hurt pretty bad. Laying and standing/walking are not bad at all. I think I might need to look into a chiropractor or something, but now it is the weekend and I will have to wait until Monday. Really hoping whatever it is pops back into place on its own/the muscles stop spasming.;

Happy 4th of July!
So i decided my back was crappy but I was still going to go to Frankenmuth to do the 5k. I know I am crazy but I can decide last minute not to do it!
So we made it up there by 715 cuz there was no traffic and our race wasn't until 10! So we got our numbers and stuff and hung out in the car to rest my back. Which while walking wasn't too bad.
We headed down to the start and I had decided I was only going to walk no jogging to make it worse. But then decided I wanted to jog at the start which was all uphill, what is wrong with me, I wasn't going to jog let alone on a hill.
Well that about did me in! So we walked and walked! 53:10 I think was what my watch said. So 5k #5 was7 minutes slower but with a messed up back I don't think that is really all that bad.
We wandered a bit after the race and hit the outlet mall and came back home. My back started to seize back up once I stopped moving around.
Hope I can get a good nights sleep with all the fireworks going off. IUI #5 in the morning!!!! :)

Ahhhh my freakin back
So mad right now. It has happened a couple times before but not this bad where it just starts to spasm and I can't move.
Went to go kayak today and bent a little funny to pull my kayak out of the shed and felt a tweak and didn't think much of it. It hurt a bit to get in the kayak but I went anyway. Halfway around the lake was in mega pain. So I got back to the dock and could barely get out of the kayak.
I eventually got out and got the boat back in the shed, made it up the stairs and into the kitchen before I was halted dead in my tracks with pain.
Then silly me thought laying on the floor would help it all relax. That ended up with me being stuck on the floor for almost an hour before I could suck it up enough to get back up. Mom laughed and laughed at me!
I made it home and showered and moved to the couch with ice and then heat etc... so much pain.
E got home and wanted me to go to dr but I said no cuz they would probably just do a muscle relaxer and I don't handle those well.
Got stuck on our floor for a bit, then the couch. Now am sorta propped up on the couch but have not tried to get up recently.
Sure hope it feels better for the 5k. and it means no TI before the IUI since I triggered tonight.

CD12 get to trigger tonight!!!!!!!!!!!
yay!!! only one jab to get the blood drawn today! Thank you Bianca! You know what you are doing to draw blood!!
Had my ultrasound, was a little bummed he didn't give me the measurements but they must have been (or at least one) over 18 cuz he smiled huge and said today is the day!!!!!!!!!!
I only have to give myself my trigger shot tonight and I am done with jabbing myself for a while! That makes me so happy!
I think all the grow follie grow juju from the TTGP girls helped!
IUI is scheduled for Friday morning. E has to be there at 8:10 and I am up for 9:40. I really really hope this is it finally!!!
But for now I am off to go kayaking at moms even though it is kinda cool and cloudy out it should be a nice morning for a paddle.

CD11 More pokes and jabs
Today was my CD11 ultrasound. She wanted me to come back today instead of tomorrow because of how much my 2 follicles grew over the weekend.
So first stop was for them to attempt to draw my blood again. Both my arms are super bruised up from the last 2 days of digging around for veins. I wish they would just send me to the regular lab where the ladies do it all day every day. But they want to be able to process it in their own lab. I have never had a problem with anyone getting blood until this past Friday.
Sooooo she digs and digs on my right arm since my left is really bruised from the day before. She gets nothing. So she got a smaller needle and went fishing on the left arm and finally got a vein.
Back to the room I go. Wait on the table and the Dr who normally does my ultrasounds comes in with one of the other doctors. And they check my lining which was 9mm I think and then go to check my follies. They measured the ones on the right 4 times! On the left there were a couple small ones and on the right are the two dominant ones. The two of them chatted and chatted and checked the measurements like 3 times and the male dr (wish I remembered his name) turns around and goes "you missed by 1mm" So they were both 17mm they want them over 18mm for me to trigger.
I am slightly bummed cuz that means more blood tomorrow and another ultrasound and man are those pricey when your insurance stops covering this crap. But timing wise for the IUI it works out great because the IUI would be Friday this way instead of me having to cancel my 5k on the 4th of July.

First post! :)
My first attempt at blogging....
Here goes nothing!
Hopefully this will save my had from writing everything! Cuz man am I behind at journaling in the journal I bought for this purpose!
I am going to go back in time and put everything here from my journal. Or maybe just this cycle... Don't know, depends on how much I feel like typing!
