CD 5. Symptoms

Today is CD 5 and 3 days on Gonal F. I have been experiencing period like cramps in my lower abdomen. I am hoping its my ovaries working!

CD 2

I start my medications on CD 3! Super excited! Dose is at 75 to begin with and I have another ultrasound to monitor my follicles. I asked how many follicles I can grow to maturity and they told me up to 4. I have a real good feeling about this!

Halloween/All holidays

For the past two years we had my step daughter for Halloween but not this year. It's hard to go through any holiday or comminity event without a child. Kevin and I want to be a part of things but we often feel like we stick out because we don't have children with us. We try to volunteer in our town so we can at least help and feel a part of the comminity. And we feel like we have really been embraced by our new community but we can't help but feel like outsiders and our heart strings pull when we see families and children. We just want a child of our own. 24/7 not just on our "weekend". We are so ready to be parents it sometimes hurts. Until then...we will continue being a part of events and try to smile through the holidays even though we feel a part of our hearts are missing. Happy Holiday Season!
