Trigger Shot 2dpt - 8dpt

I'm half way through my two week wait.  It's too early to tell if it worked or not.

Hormonally, I am pregnant.  Thanks to the trigger shot, which contains hCG hormone, same found in pregnancy.  I have been testing out my shot and right about now (8dpt) it should leave my system.  But my HPT do still have a faint line.  If I'm PG then: A. the line goes away and then comes back or B. the line never goes away but keeps getting darker.  I'm sure some of my symptoms are coming from the hCG injection.

Some things have been happening with my family that have been keeping me busy.  Nothing bad, just stuff that I can't post here for a little bit.  

Do I think I'm pregnant?

Yes - It's IUI, the sperm and egg are perfectly timed.  How could one not be PG?  I know a few people that got PG with their first IUI.  My boobs are not sore.  Nibbles a little perky, but boobs as a whole, nothing.  My boobs are always sore within a couple days of O.  Except the month I got my BFP, sore boobs didn't start 'til 11 or 12dpo.  This happened to my friend too.  Sore banger every month, except the month she got PG.  I was dizzy at the store tonight, really dizzy.  Maybe it happened a few other times too, but not as bad.  And lots of cramping down there.  It's feels like AF is coming and I even went running to the bathroom on the ferry the other day because I was so wet down there.  Today there is cramping too but it feels a little different, and more towards the right side.  I had a luteal phase dip in my BBT this morning.  I am pretty tired also.

No - You know I'm really not a lucky person.  The timing is too right in our life.  Sometimes people have to do IUI after IUI.  My acne is bad too.

November Cost

$10,363 billed to my insurance, which covers my surgery, lab results, facility and RE visits.  This will probably be the largest for awhile. 

I hope my boobs get sore soon (today, tomorrow) so I know I O'ed.  I dislike sore boobs but they let me know my body is doing something.  AF should be due Thursday(CD30), Friday, Saturday or Sunday (CD33, 15dpo).  Then more Vitex.  If no AF then I'm calling the RE to start Provera and injectables. 

I pick up my puppy tomorrow.  :)

Great Progesterone Test!

I went for my CD21 (really CD22) 7dpo progesterone test today to check to see if I have ovulated.

For my body to be doing something, even at the bare minimum crappy level: 3.3-5 ng/mL

Fertile women on a unmedicated cycle (no fertility drugs): 10

Infertile women on fertility drugs: 15+

So far on fertility drugs I've gotten: 1.7 and a number too low they never bothered to tell me.

I got a 10.6 ng/mL today!

Like a normal person, with two ovaries that actually work.  And no fertility drugs.

It's not super high, but it's "functioning" so I'll take it.

Thinking of holding off on injectables.

Grrr, Car...

Today = not a good day.  It doesn't help I woke up in a bad mood to begin with (after reading someones Facebook status that pissed me off).  The car that I mentioned was fixed yesterday is now broken again.  I tried to use the convertible roof on it today (first sunny day and all), it went all the way down and didn't lock.  When it doesn't lock it gets stuck, it won't lock or come back up.  I can't drive it anywhere because it's not safe and the car just keeps beeping.  I also can't really leave the roof down for fear it might rain.  So where I was heading with the car got canceled and was replaced with two hours on the phone with the dealership I got it from.  I was pissed, I still am.  I even cried on the phone to 2 out of the 3 guys I talked too.  It's been two months.  I'm sick of having it looked at and being told to bring it back another day for more time/parts or that it's now fixed.  The dealership I got it from is 1 1/2 hr away, the sister dealership is 40 minutes away.  I'm sick of driving it to both.  The car runs like it's supposed to.  It does it's basic job of getting me for one place to another (well when the convertible is up).  It just sucks when you pay extra money for something and get doesn't work.  I'm beyond frustrated with it.

You can't return or exchange a car so I can't just give it back.  I tried!  But I seriously think it's time to trade this thing in.  I miss my sunroof so much right now.

I'm one of those people that once I get upset about something, everything else just comes up too.  No matter how big or small my other problems are, once I start getting angry and crying they find there way to the surface.  I start out upset about one thing (the car), by the end I've added five other problems to the mix, like my broken ovaries, my dying pet, how fat I currently feel, etc.  This is not a good thing.

Two and half hours and a box of tissues later I decided to drive to Target.  By then my car decided to work again and I felt stable enough to be seen in public.  Five minutes down the road I began crying again (I was wrong about the stable part).  I also cried in the Target parking lot and I'm pretty sure I looked like shit walking around the store.   

Tomorrow I have an appointment with a local dealership to have it looked at again.  This is the place I normally take my cars to since it's right up the road and I actually like them.  So I'll probably be hanging out there all day unless they can find me a rental or I can talk someone into picking me up.  Maybe I'll test drive a few cars and get a trade-in quote on this POS.  That will make me feel like I got somewhere.

PS I've also decided Target seems like a really like place to work in my miserable state.  

PSS I'm pretty sure I said some mean things to people on Facebook today.  Oh well...
