All went well!

Today was Mock transfer, hysteroscopy and AFC (antral follicle count)
I had to have a full bladder for the mock... I thought I was going to pee on my RE I had to go so bad!
Mock transfer they said went perfect, hysteroscopy they said everything looked perfect.
Then my RE took pity on me and checked if the bathroom was empty and the hallway was clear and I wrapped myself in my little sheet thing like a skirt and made the mad dash to the bathroom! I thought I was never going to stop peeing!
I got back in the room and they all commented on how I was a totally different person when I wasn't floating away. They did the AFC (counting how many eggs they could see in my ovaries) they counted clearly 13 on the right and 7 on the left and thought there were a couple more on the left but could not clearly see them so didn't want to count them in case they were just shadows. She said 20 was a awesome number.

Met with one of the IVF nurses next and scheduled our IVF intake class where E gets to learn to give me inter muscular shots and we sign the paperwork for our cycle and review my meds.
They meet on Monday to present my case and come up with my protocol and I will get my calendar then and they will order my meds.

Anywho... that's about it.

Let's get this show on the road!

Started BCPs tonight and tomorrow I go for my mock transfer, antral follicle count and office hysteroscopy.
If all goes well with those I think I get my protocol next week! Woo!
Please let everything be okay tomorrow I am ready to get a move on!

Yeah, I disappeared didn't I?

Not much has been going on.
Work has been kind of sucky and stressful.
Waiting on AF to show so I can finish testing on Tuesday.
Hoping that will be tomorrow or sooner!
Starting BCPs soon.
Protocol to come after testing.

Other stuff did 5k#8 last weekend set a timer to jog 65 seconds walk 90 seconds. I jogged the first 5:10 and then listened to the timer the rest of the time even when i made me run up hill!
Improved by 8 seconds over my last 5k. 2 mins 8 secs since June!! And the breakdown when my nerdy accounting self figured it out was pretty much 50/50 walk jog.
So hoping to train a little before my 5k Oct 6th and I want to improve my time even if it is by seconds.
Doing that with my Sister-in-Law who has done way more training than me lately but thinks she will be slower than me. So we will see.

Thats about all that is happening!

Seriously back?

I was so excited to start being active again. Biked a ton the other day, jogged and walked a few days last week and it all felt so good.

Last night I started pilates again and was so happy and my chiro said it would help with my back. So today at work I stupidly moved a couple boxes of paper and I think that is what did it. I am on the couch with ice on my back in pain. Grrr... Needs to get better and soon.

I have 5k #7 this sunday. I am hoping to beat my 43:50 from the glow run but with little to no extra training because of our trip I don't know if that will happen.
And now I am questioning the timing of my 2 in early November and one in late October because of possible ER/ET dates that could potentially be around those days. But I guess I won't know until I get my protocol after I get AF this month and go in for the Mock Tranfer/Antral Follicle count and office hysteroscopy that I have scheduled for the 24th. So I guess I can't worry and then all I will be able to do is ask my dr.

Happy Hump day at least. This craptastical week is almost over!

Why did I come back from Hawaii?

Seriously? Could this week at work have sucked more? I am so fed up right now. My boss was riding my ass all week to get month end done (ahh the life of an accountant) meanwhile I have asked him if I can have help from my coworker who happens to be his son... since his son took the place of the person who used to do half the duties that I have been covering... his response was that his son is to busy doing other projects. WELLL said son kept inviting me to meetings all week because he doesn't know the answers and I do to I have to step away from my month end to help him. BUT they can leave at noon 2 days this week????WHA? today he was on my ass from 8am when I walked in so they could leave at noon today...
Phew venting feels better!

Today I finally don't feel like I am on a boat anymore, thankfully! I am still exhausted though. Hopefully after getting good sleep this weekend will help clear that up!

We had the best time in Hawai'i... I am so glad we went! We needed that time!
Here are some highlight pics! 2 days in honolulu watched some awesome sunsets

we went snorkeling at Molokini Crater and
snorkeled with sea turtles!
It was so cool! they are huge and so awesome to watch!

We got up at 3am to watch sunrise
on top of a volcano at 9700 feet

Ziplining in Hilo

Swimming in a waterfall
in Kauai

Hawaii day 5

Can i just stay here? Except for the perma bad hair i love it!

I am going to just copy and paste what i just wrote as a journal for our trip so far. As i am writing i am sitting on deck on the ship in the sun with a hefty breeze staring at the mountains and ocean at Maui! 

Thursday arrive 230 pm. walk down beach for dinner at Hula Grill. Watch sunset on the beach by the hotel.

Friday get up early and take shuttle to Pearl Harbor memorial. Tour USS Bowfin submarine, 10am boat to USS Arizona memorial. The. Take bus over to USS Missouri and tour. Back to hotel dinner and swim in ocean and watch the sunset again

Saturday check out of hotel and take a taxi up to Diamondhead. Hike to the top, it was hot and windy! But worth it. Walked back down to town and got lunch at Duke's bar. Yum! Taxi over to ship and board.

Sunday we got up and caught out shuttle to our Molokini snorkel and turtle snorkel! 2nd windiest harbor in the world. It was 4-5 foot waves while snorkeling at Molokini but saw lots of fish. We got back on and moved over more by shore to Turtle Town and got back in to snorkel and saw sea turtles! They are huge!

Monday we had to wake up at 230am to catch the 3 am shuttle to the sunrise over Haleakala crater at 9700 feet! It was 45 ish with winds around 25 mph so it was cold! But so pretty! After the sun was up we went to the top of the crater and could see the big island across the water. We started to come down and had lunch at about 3700 feet it was yummy! We got back to the boat and took a nap after straightening around excursions for tomorrow. Then I got a Lomi Lomi massage that was awesome!

It is freaking Christmas in August!!!!!!!!!!

So many presents fell from the sky!!!
First in my meeting this morning was the best donut I have ever had!!!!!
Then I get back to the office and find out the most annoying girl ever with SO much drama that has needed to leave for a long time. Well The best present of the Day... She turned in her notice...
Next best present, I heard her last day is going to be the 30th which means I only have to see her 1 more day!!
The best present of August is that we leave Thursday morning for our wonderful trip! I am all packed except for meds and a razor I think... So ready to check into our flights tomorrow and have those tickets ready to go!
OMG I almost forgot one of the presents today... I actually got my review (only 3 weeks late this year) and got a 5% raise. It was kinda a dumb review he wouldn't listen to me with my concerns but still said I was one of the best assets to the company. I am sure he was making that up but whatever it felt good! he also said if I found a training class out of town I wanted to do he would be okay with me traveling for it as long as it isn't to Hawaii in February. So I told him I would pass on that since I go to Hawaii on Thursday!!
