August 20th Dr. Appt

I went back to the doctor on Monday. It was day 15 of my cycle. I had taken my vitamins and Metphormin as always and I took a cycle of Chlomid twice a day for 5 days. So I went in for my ultrasound and possible insemination. When he did the sonogram, he first measured my endometrium and said it was thick and then he tried to find a follicle. For the first time since we started this, he was unable to get a good view of my ovaries. He kept looking for what seemed like forever. He never did get a good look at them on the sonogram so we did not know if I had already ovulated, if I had any follicles, one follicle, or multiple follicles.... I was a little worried and let down for a second but then he said that he was pretty positive from the thickness of my lining that I was ovulating this month and we would go ahead with the insemination. So the rest of the appointment went on as usual and I will again wait 2 weeks to see if a period or a positive pregnancy test awaits us. We should know something by September 3.

My husband will go back to the urologist on September 6 to see what his next step might be and hopefully he will get orders for some more testing and another semen analysis to check and see if all the supplements are helping in any way.

Another thing I wanted to mention was the fact that we are trying our best to save money and we are starting to raise money to continue this journey, whether it be continued fertility treatments, In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), or adoption. We have lots of cost that are not covered by insurance and my husband's upcoming test are quite expensive as well. Our next steps with In Vitro or adoption are thousand of dollars (you should google it, its ridiculous). The first way I am doing this is buy selling Pampered Chef. All my commission is going into a special savings account earmarked just for this. If you could help by gathering orders, please contact me so that I may get you some catalogs. It adds up quickly. I have a sweet co-worker that made me $100 last month and already has made me $126 dollars so far this month and she also reaps the benefits of all the hostess benefits(lots of free stuff). I will let you know of different opportunities to help me out in the future as well. Thanks for reading and please keep praying!
