And the results are in...

Not pregnant! I tell myself every cycle that this will be the one but to try and not get my hopes up. Yes, I'm a little disappointed but we will keep trying.

The Plan: Another round of Femara/Letrozole.

Trigger Day

The dreaded shot day...yikes! So I get home from work and try not to think about what's waiting for me in the fridge. I was instructed to do the shot between 8 and 10pm. I tried to avoid it as long as I could but Chad wouldn't let me forget. At 9:00 I got everything prepared and Chad gave the shot to me while I was laying on the bed with the pillow over my face. It wasn't that bad, I was just really nervous! Thanks Chad for being so gentle with me!

The plan: Trigger at least one follicle to release an egg.

Follicle Scan Day

I went to the Martin Center today for the ultrasound to check the progress of the follicles. The people at the Martin Center couldn't tell me anything so I just laid there on their makeshift table. Nothing like laying still for 25 minutes with a dildo camera up your vajayjay! So later after not hearing anything my the RE I called them and once again got to talk to one of the rude ladies at the front desk. But finally got through to the RE.

The plan: Wait 2 days (so the follicles can grow a little more) then do the HcG trigger shot.
