Morning Sickness

No I'm not pregnant! Well, I might be. I did have IUI today. Third times a charm, right? Anyhow, this month I took 150mg of clomid. I was told the more you increase clomid the more you get side effects. But I never get side effects...until now. While I am taking estrogen to counter some adverse effects, it doesn't help with the nausea (and no its not limited to the morning). Quite frankly, at this point, I would love to have morning sickness, because that would mean I was preggo, but sickness with no baby is the pitts. Oh, did I mention the hot flashes? That's another bonus the clomid brought on this month. All this and the drug did nothing productive...thats right, only one egg again. Next months plan A: be pregnant. Plan B: change to a series of injectable drugs.

Here is a preview of our Oahu pics. More to come soon.

Isn't she sweet?

Contrary to how it looks, Mazie and Emma took very little interest in Alison.

We're Home

I'm back from Hawaii, trying to acclimate back into the workplace, I have a test this week and a paper due, and to top it off I am heading out of town again. Busy busy. In the meantime, check this out...


Scroll down for a look at the garden just a couple weeks ago. When we got back from vacation we had squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, and snap peas! Really, I never thought we would grow much of anything...

Take a look at these very gorgeous veggies!


No positive test in Maui. As for this months IF plan, I am taking Clomid (150mg-3 x original dose), estrogen (to counter side effects of Clomid), and a trigger shot. I will have another ultrasound to see if this round of drugs is strong enough. If so, we may or may not move ahead with IUI. I also scheduled a consultation appointment with a different IF specialist, just to get another opinion.

Hawaii pics to follow shortly.
