Ghost Whisperer

Can we talk about last weeks episode please. The one where they went on the 3 day cruise.. She says at the beginning about how maybe 3 days of no stress will help with the baby making.. And I instantly think, OK maybe the scheduled it and she's gonna be ovulating.. come to the end of the episode and she's at home and all of a sudden gets woozy and feels sick... Then all of a sudden her husband and her both think at the same time, OH HEY! maybe we're pregnant!! OK, well then you would've been pregnant BEFORE you went on the cruise. Let's not mislead people into thinking they will have symptoms right after having sex. I'm mean she wouldn't have even implanted yet!! I realize it's a show, and that it's about ghosts, so it's not like it's super factual. But, you should make real what you can. And this should be one of those things.

cycle day 10 bloodwork.

I went this morning to get my blood drawn for cd 10. The girl who took it might have well chopped off my arm. it totally hurt, more then just the normal pinch. and it was super bleeding afterwards. She said "we have a bleeder!!" and i chuckled but I was thinking, um that's because you just rammed a huge ass needle THROUGH my vein. it still hurts and just stopped bleeding. now i have a bruise already and a little bump there. and It was taken an hour and half ago!!! I don't think she really knew what she was doing. I hope it don't get her when i have to go back for my cd 20 blood work. what a way to start my morning.

AND It's freezing cold in my office and we were told we had to turn in our space heaters. So my legs and toes are icicles now. Thanks a lot.

Tucker Max...

I recently read his book I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell. It's his supposed true stories about hanging out with his friends and humping girls. Good stories, I laughed a lot. Until I got to the last chapter, He warns you though about that last chapter before you read it and I should've listened. I won't spoil it for you.
But the conversation I had with J while reading the book and finding out tidbots of info was kind of funny. It went something like this:

D- Hey he worked at Fenwick West!

J- Isn't that where you worked?

D- No but we played them in softball.


couple minutes later

D- Hey he lived in MV! *

J- Oh gosh, you humped him didn't you! I'm gonna read that book and they'll be a chapter about you!

D- um, no. no humping.

J- you can tell me! I won't be mad, you totally hooked up with him. He looks like the frat guys you used to date.

D- no seriously, I know I was an easy going kind of gal, but really, I didn't hook up with him. If i hooked up with him I would've told you.

J- sure whatever you say.

* (this is important because I grew up and lived in MV until I moved in with J.)

This ended the conversation for a while. We did revisit it one more time. But it was short lived and I'm pretty sure that he gets there isn't a chapter about me and I didn't have sex with Tucker Max.

Clomid no go

So J and I had a talk last night and decided we want to NOT take the Clomid this cycle. My dr said that I didn't have to take it since we know I am ovulating. And since the S.A. results came back normal and I don't have any issues with my woman parts we'll just keep trying without it. I'll continue with the bloodwork this cycle since I already started, but no Clomid. I think J is really concerned we'll have 12 babies at once. He said twins he could handle but anymore then that and he's not prepared. hahaha So,ok. We have prepared mentally for twins because I fit most of the criteria for them. But I guess we can hold off on unnaturally making more then 1 baby.
We will revisit the Clomid early next year if we feel we need to. Good thing I only paid $10 for it.

HSG done!

So I' jus tgot back from my HSG appointment. Let me tell you. I was sooooo scared and nervous going in becasue of what I've read and what people have told me. And it didn't start out great. I get to the hospital which is split up into 3 buildings. I"m looking around for this place and I can't find it. The X-Ray department is called something diffrent then the hospital so that's what I was looking for. I see the Xray dept and I go into the admitting section and they tell me that I'm not on the appt list.. So now I'm stumped and freaking out because i'm missing my appt. So I call and they tell me that I am in the right section and to go back in and if they can't find me this time to have them call the Xray waiting room. This time I'm amazingly enough on the list. crazy! I guess the other lady was on crack. Cut to the actual procedure.

The radiologist is being shadowed by a student so I had someone else staring at my hairy cooter and legs. Oh that's right I forgot to shave. Oh well! SHe explains everything to me shows me what they are going to use and what's going to happen. She was very nice, funny and informative. I told her I was nervous because I'd heard tons of bad things. She promised me it wouldn't be that bad and it would just feel like cramps. Ok i can do this!!

The dr came in, explained everything again and we started. The speculum was a little uncomfortable but it wasn't too bad. then the catheter went in.. ok a little more uncomfortableness. then he blows the balloon thingy up and there's crampy feeling, then the dye goes in. So then the cramps got bad. Now I'm lucky enough to not get cramps during my period. so I'm pretty sure these were just normal cramps. It felt like poo cramps actually. A couple deep breaths and they were gone. I watched the dye go through on the screen, which was pretty cool and then he pulled the thing out. HOLY MOLY!!!! that friggin hurt. I screamed. The dr apologized and made sure i was ok.

I told the girls in the room that was the worst part.. And it was. So now, i'm just crampy and tired. But all is well. I'll survive.
Good news is that everything was perfect and there was no blockage. I start my Clomid tomorrow. SO hopefully all goes well with that.

HSG Today!

I'm getting a littel nervous. I'm scared because of all that I've read and what a couple people have told me. So I'm not looking forward to the feeling of a freight train getting rammed up my cooter. Hopefully, it doesn't hurt that bad. I have vicodins in case I need them afterward. My supervisor also told me I can just head home afterwards because I won't want to come back to work. So that's nice. She also reminded me why I'm doing it and to remember that. So I'll keep that in my mind!

baby maker 3000

So I thought for fun I'd go to the VW site and use the baby maker 3000.. Now I didn't use the best pics of us but I'd like to think this baby came out pretty cute. I'm sure any real baby we have, if we're ever blessed with this task, will be way cuter. J seems to think this baby is ugly. I've seen worse fake baby makers though.. Now we just have to wait and see, only time will tell I guess.

p.s. I don't like the routan commercials, i think they are insensitive. But I"m sure they don't care.

cranky

I am a big cranky mess..I have no idea why.. I mean it's probably because I'm on my period and I'm having hormone difficulty.. but besides that.. I felt fine this morning, oh well.
so tomorrow i go in for my cycle day 3 blood work. and on Thursday i have my HSG. Fun time ahead i bet. good thing i have vicodins. hopefully I'll be one of the lucky's that doesn't feel a thing.. A girl can dream.

We got the results from DH's SA.. everything is normal. so that's good. I'm glad he doesn't have to worry about being broken.

There was more I wanted to blog about but my crankiness has taken over the brain and i can't think now..

GO PHILLIES!!!

Since I married into a Philly family I've come to be a fan of the Philadelphia teams.. SO i'm excited that the Phillies are going to the World Series! Let's go Phillies!!!!!

bad day all around

I woke up this morning with a horrible headache. Not quite a migraine but might as well be. I also have a dentist appt today I'm not looking forward to. I have to get my permanent crown put on. ugh! what a horrible day. I realize things could be worse, I just really hate headaches.

Also, I'd like to send prayers and good thoughts to the ladies and families of two blogs I follow.
"When Hello means Goodbye"- Her and her sister are going through surgery today for a new kidney. My prayers are with you two for luck with the surgeries and speedy recoveries.
And "He will carry me"- my heart is broken for you guys. I have no words for what you're going through. I send my prayers to you, your family and sweet baby Issac.
