CD13
The nurse at my RE called me yesterday to let me know that I
should give myself the trigger shot tonight and go in for the IUI on Thursday
morning. She said I had one 17 mm
follicle on Monday morning and they are hoping giving the smaller ones an extra
day might give me another mature follicle by the time the trigger kicks
in. I am excited that my 1 follicle will
be bigger than my largest last time, but I hope I can get at least 2 mature
follicles so I have better chances.
My guy friend emailed our high school email chain last night
letting us know his wife is pregnant. I
pretty much knew she was because she wasn’t drinking at our mutual friends
wedding a couple of weeks ago, but seeing it in writing means it is really
real. Of course I was a bit sad after
reading the news – it is tough to hear other people’s good news when you have
been trying so hard and doing so much to be able to tell friends your own good
news. I was pretty happy that my sadness
over finding out didn’t last long. They
are a really great couple and will make great parents. One thing I was thinking about also was “good
they could get pregnant” as sad as I am
that we can’t get pregnant on our own, I am happy that this couple doesn’t have
to go through what we are going through – I wish none of my friends have to go
through what we are dealing with.
It also gives me hope that when things finally work out for
us we will have friends that also have small children.
DH asked me today if I was going to go to my cousin’s gender
reveal party this weekend. He isn’t
going to go. I don’t blame him – he attends
a LOT of my family parties and he deserves to sit one out now and then. I debated not going, because I know it will
be rough, but in the end I decided that I will go. I don’t want to look back at this time later
when we are successful and regret not sharing in my family and friends joys
with their pregnancies. I just need to
suck it up and tell myself “handle this with grace Caity, it will be worth it
in the end”
