Where is my Baby?

Compared to a lot of people going through infertility, our situation isn't bad at all. As far as we know, other than a difficult cervix and hypothyroidism, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with me. I worry about the hypothyroidism because since we started trying, they had to adjust my medicine at least three times, so even though the doctor said it was okay to go ahead and try, there's always that little voice in my head making me worry that maybe that's why it hasn't been working. Last time I checked my TSH was 2.8 (ideal would be under 2.5), and that was about 7 weeks ago. I had a blood test done this week, so I'll call on Monday, and hopefully they won't need to adjust my pills again and it will be under 2.5 . Here is to hoping!

Speaking of blood test.... ugh, mine sucked. The lady who did it didn't notice how tight the tourniquet and my shirt were. It felt like she was stabbing me, and usually I barely feel the needle at all (it's the blood coming out that always gets me!). Then when she was done and took the needle out, quite a bit of blood came out too, so yeah. Ugh. Then she apologized and asked me not to carry anything or do much with my arm for about an hour so it wouldn't bruise too much. Yeah, uh, okay, thanks.

Anyway, today was my last day taking clomiphene (hot flashes at 23, anyone?), and I have to start checking for ovulation soon. I really hope it works this time. I don't know how many more tries we can afford, if any at all. If only we had the luxury of trying it at home, just the two of us and nothing else. Sigh.

Heh, at least I'll get to emotionally blackmail our kid when they're old enough: "see what we did just to get you here!" Hehehehe.

Good enough for now.
