CD15

When I went to the doctor on Friday morning I had about nine follicles in the works. I would imagine that half of these would just "die" off and not create an egg. So upon insemination day I should have 4 to 5 mature follicles ready to be fertilized. But then that means that I will be releasing all of these eggs with the potential that all of them could be babies. It is a scary thought, but it is something that I have to consider every time I take fertility medications.

Tonight I will be taking my large dose of HCG. Lately the shots haven't hurt badly nor have I bruised like I have in the past. I normally do the large shot in my left leg, but tonight I will be doing it in my right leg to change things up a bit.

As I mentioned in my previous entry I am literally taking this cycle very laid back. I am not stressing about a thing. I am not worried about when I have sex. Although it's nice to have it often, but I don't have baby making on the mind. I haven't thought twice about taking my temperature. My thermometer is taking a break and so are my nerves. My doctor told me to use ovulation predictor kits and I haven't had the energy to do it... I am essentially using the medical assistance of ultrasound, hormone replacement and insemination this month. I want to cruise along as naturally as I can to be as stress free as I can.

I have been seriously thinking about how much longer I can go through this and I am thinking that my journey of trying to conceive will end come December 31st. I just can’t put myself through the pain and agony anymore. If it happens it will happen. I have 4 months left and in the realm of things, it is nothing by comparison to what we have been through. I think creating a light at the end of my proverbial tunnel has created some solitude to myself. I will continue to write on this site here so there are no worries there.

I will post more on Wednesday after my insemination. Please keep us in your prayers as it is much appreciated!

Sometimes being relaxed is helpful when trying to become pregnant. The body won't cooperate when there is a potentially dangerous situation for the mother to be in (stress). Many have told me that when they "stopped trying" that's when they got pregnant.

Just came across your blog. I really hope your cycle works out. (I am not sure about the relax comment though as I was the most stressed I have ever been in my life when finally my 3rd round of IVF worked... but that's just my opinion!! :) )

Take care and good luck
