The happy part of the cycle

It's that time of month again.

I had my last ultrasound this morning and I have 3 eggs ready to go :)

Unfortunatley my cycst is till there, but the dr. wasn't concerned about it.
I feel like that really cements my idea of IVF next cycle if this doesn't work. With the cycst, I doubt I would be able to do another round of injectibles.

I took my HCG trigger about an hour ago. After I gave myself the shot I realized there was still a bit of liquid in the bottle that didn't make it into the syringe. It came to about 1/2 cc so I stuck the needle into me again. It hurt like hell!!! The needle wasn't sharp anymore so I had the literally jam it in with force. I can barely sit now:( I think if I get to IVF I will have to take a shot or two of vodka before I give myself the progestrone shot. Oh wait, that might not be good for the embryos ....damn it.

But either way, this is the part of my cycle that I love. I know at the moment I am not pregnant so I am not obsessing about symptoms but I know that there is a good chance that I might be pregnant tommorow:) I have the IUI tommorow and Wed. so I am full of hope right now. I am just praying that dh sperm count will be like it was last time. But I love this time. I took tommorow and Wed off, so after the IUI's I will just come home and relax.

I also really am starting to feel comfortable with the idea of IVF next cycle. I thought it would make me more nervous this month knowing it's my last month of IUI but instead it is just relief.
It this does not work then I am moving on to something that will really up my chances:)

I am determined to be holding a baby in my arms by the end of 2006.
