Life has been hectic around the Young household lately.
My dad moved in last September for details we won't get into.
A buddy of his went through a terrible accident with his wife and his wife passed away so ever since then he's been working on and off and hasn't had a decent place to stay. Usually he sleeps in his van or if he has money he gets a hotel room for the night. After a few times meeting him and not knowing all of this Kevin and I decided he can move in with us and we can provide a roof over his head and food in his belly until he gets back on his feet. He's a contractor so he's been doing stuff around the house for us which has been awesome. He's fixed some outlets for us, he added a 2nd bedroom in our basement and we painted the whole basement so he helped out with that. I come home from work to a clean house, so that part is good.
Recently my sister her lease ended on her house and they had nowhere to go so just last weekend my sister, her boyfriend and 3 yr old nephew moved in with us...whew!
Have you caught on yet? I feel like my life is a soap opera.
And during the week my husband's cousin lives with us to travel back and forth to work.
Since going through all this infertility treatments I'm wondering if all these additional people in my house are causing me stress. Don't get me wrong I love being able to help people out and I really don't feel any extra stress but is it really hurting me?
So two weeks ago I had my 2nd IUI done. Ever since 2 days past I was cramping really bad, getting pelvic pain and my ovaries were hurting. Since then it's calmed down a bit but was wondering if it's all in my head or is this really happening. I go in tomorrow (Saturday) for my beta (bloodwork) to see if I'm knocked up or not. I've been cheating and doing home pregnancy tests and they've all been negative. As much as I don't want to be debbie downer but it doesn't look like this cycle worked :( I've been such an emotional wreck lately. On Wednesday we went and seen my RE to see if this cycle didn't work what our next steps would be. I told her obviously the clomid isn't working so we need to try something else out. She gave us 3 options to choose from and here's what we decided. Were going to do 2 more cycles of IUI and with that were going to do 100mg clomid CD 3-7, starting CD8 I'm going to do gonal-f injections for 5 days. Then I go in for my usual CD13 ultrasound and if everything looks good I will then do my trigger shot of ovidrel and have IUI 36 hours later. So I will be on 3 different hormone medications and I am warning you people, don't make me mad these next few months. I'm sure it won't be pretty. This is the next step before we might have to do IVF. I go in next Thursday to do my injection class training and if my period shows up next week then the next cycle begins. I got really upset and emotional during my doctor's visit and she suggested I talk to the in-house counselor. I'm still debating on that!
So if you are the praying type please pray my blood work goes good tomorrow and it is positive and please pray for my sanity and hopefully I won't be an emotional wreck tomorrow. It's a big weekend and I have to keep it all together. Hope everyone has a great Easter!
