Ultrasound results

To put it succinctly, they sucked.....at first. The U/S tech looked using both the dildo cam and looked externally. My ovaries were not getting any action....at all. Not one little follicle to be found and we were hoping or BIG ONES!

I take my depressed ass along with the results to Sally's office. She takes a look and asks me if I ovulated yesterday. I told her I have no idea as I stopped monitoring. I have not taken a temp, checked cervical position, cervical mucous or peed on a stick. Actually I peed on one stick. I'm almost out of test sticks for the clearblue easy fertility monitor and you are not supposed to mix test sticks from different boxes. I haven't had an opportunity to go to Wal-Greens for more so I kept putting off testing. On Monday I said screw it and tested which was CD 13-kind of late to be starting. I forgot to pee on a stick every morning since then. Then she asks if we've had sex recently to which I replied yes.

She proceeds to tell me that after ovulation she expects the endometrium...the lining of your uterus which needs to be thick to sustain a new little zygote...to measure at 8.0 mm. Mine is 9.0mm. Based on that Sally thinks I may ovulated a little earlier this month so probably sometime between Monday and Wednesday.

I am to take a pregnancy test on August 7th if I do not have my period yet. If it is negative than I've had yet another annovulatory cycle. Wish us luck.

Ultrasound & updates

I have an ultrasound scheduled for Thursday to determine follicle growth/maturity. I am praying for good news as we leave for Mexico this Saturday so this will be our only chance to monitor this month.

We spent the 4th in Jacksonville Beach with our friend Craig aka Dupree. We had a great time and are trying to figure out when we can go back. Lucky bastard lives smack dab on the beach! Life really is a beach for Craig.

We've added a screened gazebo to our deck so we can enjoy our deck more in the summer months without being eaten alive by mosquitos. It's working well so far although I still get bites walking to and fro. We purchased the floor model as the gazebo was out of stock but putting the gazebo back together Saturday was easy and relatively quick. One benefit of buying the floor model...you have a better mental picture of how it all fits together.

Nashville is officially suffering from extremely hot and humid weather. I think it was 103 yesterday! The dog days of summer have arrived. I think our weekends from here on out will be spent in my in-laws pool.

The 4th

Today is my Friday as we leave for Florida tomorrow! Four glorious days of sun, fun, and relaxation I hope!

Have a safe and happy 4th of July!
