Update

So, for the past week I have had a UTI and for a short while 2 days, a yeast infection. After antibiotics, I still have a UTI. So, I am waiting on the doctor to call in another drug to cure it this time.

This morning I went for my physical exam (pap smear, boob check...basically everything they do at your normal gym appt.) and some blood work (they took at least 10 vials of blood!). I also have scheduled a counseling session, which DH has to attend as well. So, after that...if everything goes as planned (as far as my consult passes and my BW looks ok), I should cycle in May. Which means, we will have to wait until August to TTC.

They finally called me and would like to schedule the physician's consult, which includes blood work, a pap smear, and a vaginal culture. I am still waiting on the phone call to schedule the appt.

In other news, I now have a UTI....great. I also am ovulating today. So, maybe we'll really start trying next month...I'm tempted to postpone the donation. We'll see.

Different page

After having a discussion about how badly I want to try for a baby, DH and I were on the same page, so I thought. We decided that we would wing it and if it happens, we'll figure it out. I was really happy about that, so I wouldn't have to chart anymore. I was charting to prevent pregnancy. So, during our rendezvous last night, he pulled out. He said he still wanted to prevent on his side, because I can still get pregnant. Men! Needless to say, I was disappointed!

Update

Well, Jake is doing well, according to the vet. I am feeling better and the cats have quit sneezing for the most part.

DH send me an e-mail this morning saying he is pretty certain he will lose his job. I hate this.

Future

I have yet to hear back from the egg donation center and I am soooo tempted to say screw it and TTC. Unfortunately, we cannot try until we know for sure DH will have a job after June of this year. I don't know if I can wait much longer to TTC. Three of my friends are now pregnant and I want to go through my first pregnancy with someone. I hate having to wait for this...in fact, I hate having to wait for anything!! I am so inpatient...

In other news, Jake is back at the vet for a follow-up, so we'll see what they say. He is not limping unless he exerts himself, but it doesn't seem to bother him much.

Both of our cats are now sneezing like crazy. I think they caught a cold that Jake brought home from the vet...poor kitties. I am not sure if I should take them to the vet or not.

Even I feel sick at the moment, but I do not want to go back to the doctor, so we'll play this one by ear.

I posted an item on Craigslist over the weekend, so let's hope we can sell it...it's an etagere (glass shelves). I also posted a few text books on Amazon and someone already bought a copy!!

Period

I got my period yesterday afternoon...28 days...so I think I'm back on my schedule. Hopefully. My cycle got off track, trying to coordinate with my co-worker's cycle and now she informed me she is pregnant. So, I hope my cycle doesn't get screwed up again!! It shouldn't, though. I called the egg donation center and called it in, so I should be receiving a phone call to schedule my physical, pap, and blood work.

Egg donation update

Yesterday, I went to Atlanta for my family history appt and they just went over my family history and my own medical history. She basically created a family tree. I was in and out in 15 minutes. My next appt will be a physical, blood work, and a pap smear. I may take a half day of vacation. I think it'll take at least an hour and the drive one way takes an hour. I am waiting on a call from them to schedule an appt.

In other news, we had almost 7 inches of snow Sunday night...pictures to prove it...
