OK.  So today consisted of 2 trips to the doctor’s office; one at 7am (day 3 blood work and sonogram), the next at 10:30am (information session about the rollercoaster ride about to take place during this cycle); and a massive headache, a headache like I’ve never had before…Bright Light…Bright Light.  Oh, how it hurt to look at bright light.  It subsided for about 4 hours as a result of taking three Motrin, but has just come back to haunt me.  I think maybe it’s a sign that I should go start dinner?

So basically, here is what’s about to happen over the next couple weeks:

• I will start Clomid 50mg tonight (days 3-7)  Look at me getting all wild and shizzz…taking Clomid days 3-7 instead of the 5-9 I’ve gotten used too.  Talk about living on the edge, huh.
• Go back to the Specialist for day 10 blood and sono (Monday 1/21) to monitor progress thus far from the Clomid
• I’m awaiting the arrival of my Ovidrel trigger shot in the mail and I will keep this bad boy in the fridge and then take it with me to my day 10 visit, and every visit thereafter.
• The frequency of every visit after the day 10 visit really depends on the size of my little follies and how they are maturing.  Basically we want them to be between 18 and 22mm to schedule the IUI.  So if they are at 14 mm come Monday 1/21, I may have to go in the following day to monitor again to see if they have grown any further.  If they are only at 10mm, I will go back in 2 days for further monitoring.  Get it?
• When the timing is right and we have not yet detected my LH surge via blood but there are perfect size follies, either the office or myself (ehhhh…my husband) will administer the trigger shot to pump those babies out of there and into the tubes.
• IUI will then take place within 24 hours or so.
• I will go back to the office a week after the IUI for bloodwork and sono.
• Two weeks after the procedure I will go in for a pregnancy test and sono.

So there you have it…What do you think?  Going in a good direction right?  I’m more than thrilled with everything that has taken place in the past 7 days.  It feels like things are finally falling into place and I’m feeling very confidant. 

I also want to mention that Kim over at JoggingInCircles tagged me for a MEME.  I’m not blowing it off and I promise to do it tomorrow Kim!
