A quick update

IUI #4 is done. Dr. A upped my Follistim dose pretty high so I had a good response. Not as crazy as Grayson's cycle, but good. I am still going to acupuncture, which I am loving, but now it's just a waiting game. How do I feel? Eh. Not very hopeful. I am trying hard to be more hopeful, but it's tough.

The last few days I have done a lot of thinking {what's new, right?} It's crazy to look back at all we have done. Giving myself shots month after month, spending WAY too much time at my RE's office and being poked and prodded more than I would like. All the medications and hormones give me mood swings, they give me aches and pains and nausea, and some of them are just icky. It's intense and, at times, overwhelming. I go about my day-to-day like I always do, but every once in a while I stop and think about all of it. Even with all that's involved, I have never given a second thought to what we are doing. I just do it. I am determined to have children, at least two of them, and I will do whatever I have to to have a chance at that. But dang, what a process. Long gone are the days of "let's have sex and get pregnant!" The good thing is that I have mourned the loss of that chance and moved on. This is our normal now.

My little man turned 18 months yesterday! Crazy how time flies. I'll have his 18 month post up this weekend. I am waiting for his doctor appointment on Friday to get his official stats.
