Belated Present?

We learned on December 11 my cysts were gone, so I began taking my hormone injections. This month, they took longer to work, so I took them for an extra four days. On Christmas morning, I took the hormone, which forces ovulation, and we tried for a few days. Hoping for a belated Christmas present. We'll know the outcome on January 8.

My chin's tipping downward

Well, we learned on October 20, we aren't pregnant. It was quite a shocker to us. Luckily Kim and I were on vacation that day... it was full of my tears and pretty quiet.

On October 22, I went to the doctor and learned I had cysts all over, one of which was enormous and extremely painful. So, I began birth control again, and go back on December 11. While this wasn't the most exciting Thanksgiving, we do have so much to be thankful for this year. Each other, our families, stable jobs, a great home, irreplaceable friends, a God who is way bigger than infertility and finances... plus much more!

Since I learned I wasn't pregnant, life's not gloomy all the time, but it's rough to keep the smile on lately. Today, we had another baby shower for someone at work, learned a good friend was pregnant, came home to a Pottery Barn kids magazine and listened to my grandma go on and on about her new great-grandchild, who was born today. Today was not the easiest day to swallow.

I've been having horrible nightmares, some of which pertain to infertility and other ones that are simply horrific, like the one where someone buried me alive. Yeah, I got to have that wonderful one three times in one night.

On December 11, we go to see if the cysts are gone, and if so, we'll do round four of meds.

Trying to keep my chin up!
