Gods Plan Not Mine

So here I am again in the dreaded 2WW!  Can't believe I'm here.  When we were trying for Poppy it was so nice & laid back (at least the trying part).  Luckily w/the holiday weekend I will at least be occupied for some of the time. 

I went in on Fri & got the HSG which wasn't so terrible but it definitely caused some cramping.  Went back Sat (they don't do procedures on weekends) & they checked my ovaries.  My lining was 7mm & I had more follicles than I've ever had using clomid.  There were 2 18mm & a 17mm all on the right side!!!  Then I had 2 10mm on the left.  I took the ovidrel on Sun night about 9:30pm & have to tell you I don't know how people do shots over & over.  Tried to get out of it but w/my follicles already so big on CD 11 the Dr was concerned they would get too big if we waited.  I usually don't ovulate until CD 16.  I was kinda of bummed because ovulating is one thing my body does correctly.  Anyway, after taking the shots I started cramping more.  Finally, we went in @ 8am this morning & did the IUI. 

This office is very different than the one back home.  My old office would have done a sono first to see how things have progressed since last one & checked progesterone 7dpiui.  But this office just did the IUI & gave me paperwork to get HCG drawn in two weeks.  They don't even check progesterone then either.  I will be starting suppositories tomorrow though so I guess it's not so bad (well the progesterone is bad..lol).  After the IUI I had some really terrible cramping for quite a few hours until I finally went & bought some tylenol & rested when Addy napped.  Now I'm feeling a ton better.  Still crampy but not nearly as bad.  Thankfully, the IUI itself didn't hurt. 

I am tyring so hard not to get my hopes up.  I originally didn't think we would even get to try this cycle so I'm trying to keep this in prospective if we get a BFN.  And as usual, even if we get a BFP it is only the beginning.  Please keep us in your prayers as we start this journey again!  Hope you're all doing well & have a very Happy Thanksgiving!!!
