Can this just be over with already?

I'm still sick...   :(    Only now, I have pink eye, which is really yucky if you've never experienced it. I also still have this really heavy period. So my throat is sore, I still have drainage, I keep coughing, my eyes are crusty and red, my cramps feel like they are only supposed to on Day 1 of AF and I am supposed to be working on report cards that I just haven't felt like working on. I also just found out that a major storm is coming Tuesday night - all day Wednesday and I have my appt. with the doctor on Wednesday that I will not cancel even if we get a foot of snow! I'm a little crabby right now. I think I need to go back to bed!

AF is here!

Usually that is a sad thing, but today I am happy she is back! I have horrible cramps, probably from not having a period for so long, but I'll be okay. I'm still sick with a sore throat, congestion and drainage, so I'm just trying to take it easy! I made an appt. with my doctor for next Wednesday to have a saline sonogram and hopefully be able to figure out a plan to try again next month. I still haven't heard from the insurance company. I might call them tomorrow.

Sick...Ugh!

I started feeling weak yesterday and I just knew...Today I have a sore throat, my head hurts and feels huge and I am totally stuffed up. I guess it's better to have the weekend to hopefully feel better by Monday, but I hadn't planned on spending the whole weekend at home. In a way I'm glad it's happening now so that when I cycle again, I'll be perfectly healthy!
I don't know how long it will take for me to start a period again. I've been taking Provera for 5 days and I have 5 more to go. They said it should make me start but I don't know if you have to take all of them. They said to call if I don't start after taking them.
Still haven't heard anything from my insurance company. I feel like everything else in life is so rushed and goes by so fast, but not this. Everything with infertility seems SOOOO S....L....O...W...

My 5 yr. old niece made a Valentine's Day card for my husband and me. I was wearing a dress with red hearts all over it and high heels. I love it! :)

What's going on?

Last week, I called and asked my insurance company if they'd processed the pre-authorization form yet. Turns out they haven't even received it! I called Dr. Kwak's office in December and they assured me that they sent it, but the insurance company does not have it. So I had to call Dr. Kwak's office, have them resend it, and then call my insurance company back this week. The woman I spoke with said she might be able to expedite the process so that it doesn't take another 30 days. Hopefully!
When I called Dr. Kwak's office, I also asked about Metformin since I know she wants me to take it. It's been a little confusing to work with 2 doctors. I don't really know exactly what I'm supposed to be doing/taking, so I think I might have to call the nurses a lot this week to figure it out. I won't be cycling for a while, but I want to be sure I'm taking meds when I'm supposed to.
The nurse called in the Metformin and I started it today. Glad I called...What about the other drugs? Should I start on those? I guess I'll find out soon. I know Dr. Kwak really wants me to do IVIG, but the whole insurance thing could take a while and unfortunately, I can't afford it without help from my insurance company. I just keep hoping that maybe, just maybe, it will work with all of the other changes. I guess we'll find out in February!
I am so happy that I started going to the Resolve support group. Everyone there is so wonderful and supportive. It's so nice to talk to people who understand. Thanks ladies! :)

Happy New Year!

I had a really good time at the New Year's party last night. It was nice to visit with friends. I feel very blessed to have wonderful family and friends. I'm hoping 2011 will be filled with love, happiness and good fortune for everyone. My New Year's Resolution is to be the best I can be. I want to try to eat well and follow my doctor's orders. I want to go through everything WITH my husband and not try to tackle it alone. I want to spend more time with family and friends and less time worrying about work (well actually worrying about everything - I worry a lot). This is going to be a great year, I just know it! :)
