So, the last time I was on here was far too long ago! When we last left off Kirk and I were in the middle of starting a little more aggressive fertility treatment. We went through one round of a medicated IUI, and unfortunately it didn't work. Every month would come and I would feel like there was a little bit of a chance that we could finally be pregnant with our miracle baby, but when we finally started with the injections and the IUI itself, I felt like it was going to be a sure bet. As stupid as I knew thinking that was, I still got my hopes up, and my heart was completely broken when we didn't end up pregnant. Kirk and I sat down after this and talked about our options, and whether to try again, or put everything on hold for a little bit and try to save up. Going to a fertility clinic, while a blessing, is extremely pricey and nothing can be sent to insurance, or at least ours. We decided to take one more chance, and try another round before putting it on hold. So we started another cycle. I started more meds, and I made Kirk take an arsenal of vitamins :) This round I ended up taking more inject-able meds than last time and prayed it helped. Taking more meds this round meant we had to be a little more creative when it came to taking my meds, because we weren't sitting home at all times. With these inject-able meds, they had to be taken at the same time everyday you take it. One day I had to take them we were at a nice restaurant eating sushi and I had to inject myself in the bathroom. I had my mother in law go with me because I was so terrified that someone would come into the bathroom and totally think I was a junky shooting up in the stall next to them. Not to mention the fact that bathrooms are not the cleanest places, and I didn't want any funky diseases haha :) Another time we had to take my meds, I needed Kirk's help injected myself with our "trigger" shot which was a time specific shot. We got side tracked while out with our friends, and my husband ended up having to inject me with meds in the back seat of our friend's car in the parking lot of a sports bar. Yeah... go ahead picture that and laugh, it was not one of my finest moments. All of our creativity, and Kirk taking vitamins really paid off. We went in for our IUI day and the first thing our nurse said was "good job" to Kirk. Apparently his numbers were extremely high. Normal, good numbers are in the 30 million, and he was over 150 million. Needless to say he was pretty proud of himself. Then the nurse looked at me and said there were a possible of 4 eggs released. I was excited, but also a little nervous that it may not work again, or that it would work too well and we would end up with four babies all at once haha. Well it all paid off because I am happy to say I am now 7 months pregnant. :) But all the stories from our first "positive" to this point I will go ahead and do different posts for those, so this one doesn't seem so long!
