Trigger Happy


My monitoring appointment was yesterday. Righty was unproductive, as usual, but Lefty had one follicle that was ready to go, and my lining must have looked good... The nurse actually didn't give me any numbers this time, and I had to ask where my follicle was at. To be fair, the patient before me fainted, so she was a little bit flustered. But I still want to know my numbers! I can probably ask when we go for IUI #3 tomorrow afternoon, but it's not going to change the outcome. 

I tried to get the latest appointment possible, because BoyWonder and I both have a hard time getting off work. Last time, we were lucky because the IUI was on a Sunday (a Sunday I happened to be off, no less). This time, I got the very latest appointment open, but we both still have to miss some work. BoyWonder has to beg for vacation time. I only have to leave work 30 minutes early, but I'm still going to get an occurrence for it. Oh well. 

I should probably apply for FMLA, just to cover my bases. I keep putting it off because I keep thinking we won't need it. But we do. Unfortunately, I can't force my ovaries to work around my days off. 

Today I'm feeling extra sleep-deprived. Because the IUI will be at 2pm tomorrow, I had to wake up at 145 this morning to trigger. It keeps getting easier, which is probably good because I have a feeling Doctor is going to want to move on to injects if this cycle doesn't work. And if we can afford the medications. If, if, if.
