So, today was our baseline ultrasound and everything looked great! There were 4 follicles on the left and 3 on the right! She said that my lining is super thin but she thinks it will thicken up as the cycle progresses! It was so weird... I only had 1 day of AF and some spotting... Maybe God thought I needed an AF break before I got pregnant? LOL
So, I start Femara 5mg tonight and will take it until Friday. I pray that I don't have as many s/e as I did with Clomid! Oh my God... I won't do that to Mike again! haha It was not a happy time in the Wagner household when I was on that crap! Anyways, then I start gonal-F 75iu daily until cd12 when I go in for another US. They will then tell me if things look good, if I need to up my gonal-f, or if I'm ready for my trigger shot. The nurse said she thinks I'll be ready for the IUI next Thursday or Friday! I'm a little worried though; when I was on Clomid i was never ready to trigger until after cd15! I hope I don't have to go in for too many ultrasounds... I'm paying full price for them! I thought $156 was a little high for the one I had today... but I don't really care at this point!
Oh, and one other good thing for today - I went to Walmart to pick up the Femara thinking it was going to $110 for 5 days (that's what the chick told me over the phone) and I was SHOCKED to see that it was only a $15 copay!!!!! PTL! I guess the main use is not infertility (I knew that...just forgot!) Heck yeah - that's cheaper than the Clomid!!! That put a smile on Mike's face! =)
Okay, so here comes the crappy stuff (If you don't want to hear me bitch about my boss... you can stop reading. lol):
I get back from my appointment today and my boss come out and asks how the appt went. She is so freaking nosy! I told her that things went well (not offering too much info b/c I hate her!) and that I will go back on 10/31 and then again on 11/1 or 11/2. She replies with, "Well, when is the procedure?" I'm assuming she means "IUI" but I play dumb and give her a puzzled look. Then I ask her if I can use a sick or vacation day for my IUI day (because I'm not going back to work). She says, "Well, I know you can't use a sick day because you're not sick! You can only use those if you are actually sick." WTH!?!?!?!?! Okay, my ovaries don't work... doesn't that mean I'm sick? lol Anyways, Mike said she WILL let me use my sick day or he'll put our lawyer on her ass! haha!
Then she has the nerve to say, "Oh and I was thinking... if this works you'll be due at the end of July (first of all, why the heck is SHE figuring out my due date!?!?) and that is when "Jane" usually takes her 2 weeks off every year. You're the only one who does her job." Who the HELL cares! lol And "Jane" is boss's SIL so that explains so much! Well, I was so ticked at this point... why do I care if I'm off on maternity leave and she can't go on her vacation... I could care LESS! That's not MY problem... I wanted to say, "You're the freaking office manager - deal with it!" Instead I just smiled and left the office.
Did I ever mention that I hate my boss? If not.. I do! Just thought you all should know! :)

Yipee for a plan! The month that I took femara the only s/e I had was headaches, none of the mood swings or hotflashes that I had on clomid. And the femara actually grew me a follicle, unlike clomid, so there are two plusses! And the gonal-f should help with the egg quality, so you are all good there! Your boss is a jerk, want me to come kick her a**!!
Oh my gosh, it's happening so soon!! So exciting Ang! Don't worry about your lining, that gonal-F will thicken it up right away as it dramatically increases your e2 which is what triggers pre-O lining growth. :-) And, I agree with Mary...your boss is a well...bleeper! LOL!
Ah!! I'm so excited, it's literally NEXT week. We are all rootin' for you!! Now, your darn boss...that's another story-GRRRR!! Don't let her near you for the next few weeks, no stress aloud here. Grow follies!!
