I am in such a bad mood today.
I had my appointment AGAIN this morning.
My follicle on my right side measured at 15.9 mm.
I am just feeling BLAH.
I have no idea what is going.
I have no schedule.
My next appointment is Saturday at 9:15.
That will be CD 13.
The nurse thinks they will retrieve the egg on Saturday/Monday.
I am so not in the mood to write. Sorry:(

Grow follicle GROW!!!!!
This is day 2 on Tamoxifen.
It feels very similar to how I felt on Clomid.
I searched online all last night to see if there was anything I could do to help my follicle along....
I found that a warm water bottle can help- So I used one all night and snuck one at my desk today...
I really hope it helps.
Today I feel like something is going on down there.... Hopefully my 10 mm follicle is growing growing growing!
One more day to go- then another ultra-sound and blood test!
Until then, I will keep my water bottle warm:)

Update CD 8 - Tamoxifen???
So, today I went in for my monitoring appointment and they measured my follicles by doing an ultrasound....
I have one follicle they are looking at that was 10 mm.
The tech girl immediately acted like that was not very good and I would for sure have to come back again- I tried not to freak out.
I went back to the waiting room and googled what it SHOULD be...from what I could see it should be around 17-22 mm.
The nurse called me back and said it was fine and totally normal- and told me they would call when they got my blood results back.
They called at about 10 AM and said the doctor wanted me to go on an oral medication once a day.
I rushed to the pharmacy on my lunch to see what this medication was....
It is called Tamoxifen 20 MG.
I am trying to find out why I am taking this and if it works??????
I am feeling relieved that they aren't just gonna sit back and wait to see how my body reacts and are giving me medicine!
I will go back on Thursday the 28th.
I really hope my little follicle grows grows grows!!!!!!
And I really hope that I can find out some more info on Tamoxifen-
*** We made our final payment today! Here we go!

Update on NC-IVF
Today was amazing!
Chad and I went on a hike in Malibu to a waterfall.
It took us about 2 hours and was the perfect trick to keep our mind off of this upcoming week!
Tomorrow we have a 7:30AM monitoring appointment. And we make our big ole $4,000.00 payment too.
YIKES!
After this appointment, we should have everything scheduled from the egg retrieval to when we hopefully have a positive pregnancy test!
I can't believe it is really happening!
I am so ready!
Tomorrow's appointment will be CD 10.
Here are some pics from the beach in Malibu after our hike! Check out the starfish!
Beautiful!

CD 3- First day of monitoring
Today I went to my first monitoring appointment-
The appointment was at 7:30AM-
I woke up with nervous energy-
Took a shower and drove on over....
I was the first patient there-
They did an ultra-sound and a blood test.
I had to wait to talk to the doctor since this is my first cycle with the clinic-
He really didn't put my mind at ease- He is so confident it throws me off.
We had to pay $650.00 today for our monitoring appointments- On day 8 our FULL amount is due. YIKES!
Everything I have read makes me feel so uneasy.
But, we are going forward!
I go back on day 8 which will be Monday!
They will then be able to nail down our dates for retrieval!!!!!
Let the prayers begin! I am praying my body is ready to accept a baby!!!!!! Now trying to enjoy the next couple days!
My Dad is celebrating his 60th bday on Friday!
I am working on a special project for him!
I wil post pics!
Is anyone reading this?

Devastated once again...
Today, it is 4 days before my period is due.
So like every other month for the last 2+ years- I used a dollar tree test to see if maybe just maybe there would be that 2nd line.
Nope.
Stark white.
Whiter than white in the 2nd line position.
I need to stop looking at it in the bathroom - because when I look at my face afterwards in the mirror- I feel like I am looking at a failure.
I have failed again.
Failed at a chance to be able to do one of the most natural womanly function there is.
To have a baby.
It is such a blessing to have a child... but I haven't been blessed.
It hurts so bad.
My heart is so broken.
I feel so alone.
I feel empty.
I just can't.
