New job

Hello! Well I have been looking for a new job for about 4 months now. I knew my contract would soon be ending and it would be time to move on. I have had several interviews and more then 3 2nd interviews only to never get a call back. Yesterday I got my call back. On Monday, I will begin my job with Visiting Nurses Service. I am very excited. However, I am a little sad. My last day at my current job is today. I love the people I work with. They are a great group of folks and have really seen me through some rough patches. I will deeply miss each and everyone of them. So, my plans for tomorrow are to have my physical and chest x-ray done and to go to Ivy Tech and get my transcripts. I have to have a copy for my new job. Crazy!!! Then Friday I go to VNS for my drug test and to fill out paper work. I am so very excited. In my new position I will be a triage nurse. I will be the middle man for the doctors and the nurses working in the homes. I will also field calls from patients and family members. I'm pretty excited about all of it. The part I'm looking most forward to is getting back into nursing. I can't wait. So that's my NEW news. On the TTC front, we are trying, but not trying. we are hoping that maybe just maybe we can make it happen naturally. I'm not holding my breath, but at least it is not the main focus right now. Plus I'm hoping I have better insurance that will at least cover some of our expenses. PCOS is costly, especially when you are TTC. I will try to update more in the next few weeks!

No treatment this cycle

Well my cycle started on Saturday, as anticipated. Zach and I sat down to review our finances only to find there is no way to pay for a treatment this month. My doctor had told us that they often get donations of medications from women who have had to buy multiple injections up front and end up pregnant. So I called this morning to see if we could get help with the injections this month. I was told by the nurse that they never get donations, so after getting that news I decided it would be best to wait a month and get our funds back together. I'm pretty sad about all of this. I feel like it is one more step backwards in our journey. So for now this is the plan.

Results are in

So my pregnancy test was negative this morning. I'm going to call the MD later and see what the plan is.

IUI and now the wait is on

So we had are IUI last Friday. Everything went well. I really didn't feel anything. So now the wait is on. I have to have my progesterone level drawn on Friday and then next Friday we can test. I can't wait. I just wish I felt better. Zach has been sick and now I think I have what he did. I just generally don't feel well. Kind of like I have the flu. So we'll see. I will keep everyone posted.

AF showed, but why and I so sad...

So AF showed yesterday, which made me super happy. But after I called the RE that all changed. I had to go get my testosterone level redrawn and it takes a week to get back. That's 7 days that I lose. So, now I feel like the IUI isn't going to happen this month either. AHHHHHH...I really dislike all of this. I'm tired of being a pin cushion every month. I just want a baby. I have to call tomorrow to see if I can get some sort of plan. I'm a planner and I need to know what is going on. Anywho, on the plus side only 15 more days until I go to Florida! I'm very excited about that. About time for me to start packing!!!!

I GOT IN!!!

I got my acceptance letter yesterday to the University of Alabama! I'm so excited. I have been accepted into their Business program. Fingers crossed I can do that program. It requires a few more classes then I wanted to take, but I can do it.

Moving on...

Ok so my last blog was a total pity party! I am moving on past all of that. So the lastest update...I officially have PCOS. My final levels were high. My testosterone level was elevated so no IUI this month. I had to go back on the pill for the rest of this month. I am hoping and praying everything will return to normal and we can do the IUI next month. In the mean time I am working very hard on my weight. I started the Atkins diet on Wednesday. I've also been working out with my Wii Fit. I love it! It doesn't seem like I'm working out at all. My next goal is to get on the dreaded treadmill and start working my way up to 5 miles. I have to be at 5 miles by April 18th. Zach and I are doing the Race for a Cure in honor of his mom and my cousin. So...I have to start working on that.

So my new year's resolutions are...GET PREGNANT, lose weight, walk 5 miles, stop stressing so much. Be thankful for what you have and not envious of what other people have. I am working really hard on me. My attitude and my self-esteem have become an big focus for me this year. I know it's easy to say you are a good person, but I don't feel like I am always a good person and I want to work on that this year. I also want to work on increasing my love for my husband. I love my husband, but I'm not always nice to him. I like to pick fights about little things. For the most part he is understanding and doesn't let him affect him to much, but I can be just down right mean sometimes. So I am going to work on that as well.
