Good news - had my mid-cycle u/s yesterday morning - 1 beautiful follie on each side and a second little follie on the right side that may or may not catch up. I'm actually surprised that's all I had since I've had 4-5 the last two IUI cycles, but anyway. We triggered yesterday morning and had our final IUI this morning! Hubby's counts were awesome.
Bad news - my lining was terribly thin though, so my RE put me on progesterone. Can't wait to start shoving pills up my vag every night.
This is our last chance before moving to IVF. And the jump to IVF isn't going to be easy. Financially we can't afford it, so we're going to have to save for months and months and months.. So fingers crossed this is it for us...

Birthday Weekend
Sometimes I find it really hard to believe that I'm going to be 26. In 3 days. It's just crazy to me! It's very easy to look back at this past year and think about all of the crap I've gone through. So, I wanted to take the time and make a list of the good things that happened while I was 25!
1) I celebrated 1 year of marriage with my best friend, my lover, my hero, my rock - my husband.
2) I passed 1 part of the CPA (1 down, 3 to go!)
3) I celebrated my 2nd anniversary at work - A job I am not only fortunate to have, but I am even more fortunate to have a job that I love going to every day (well, most days)
4) I bought a new car! My first brand new SUV...Granted, in hindsight, we would have held off on the purchase if we had known we were going to be spending so much money to try and get pregnant, but at least we have a fabulous family safe vehicle now for when we finally do get pregnant.
5) I met a fabulous group of women online. Without them, I don't think I would have survived the past 6 months or so without killing someone.
Hopefully I'll add on to this list over the next few days, since it's pretty short right now, but there are some pretty good things that have happened! Sometimes you need to step back and remember those things. I know I get wrapped up in all the negative stuff far too easily.

Holidays
The holidays were a lot tougher than I ever imagined they would be. We thought we would be pregnant by now, announcing to our families that we were going to receive the best gift ever. Obviously, that isn't the case....so to hear and see all of the announcements over the holidays has been absolutely gut wrenching. I have cried...a lot. Everyday, I wake up determined not to let IF ruin another day, but the littlest things hurt my heart... I long for the day that IF doesn't steal all of the moments in my life that should be remembered as being happy.
