Here we go!

My period came - which means either tomorrow or Tuesday I will go in for my baseline ultrasound and make sure I have no cysts so we can move forward with IUI.

Please please please no cysts.  I am too excited and too tired of delays!  We waited 6 months for the surgery because old insurance didn't cover it, got new insurance that covered it when I changed jobs, and it was cancelled/rescheduled twice (once due to my doctor getting the flu and once because my body didn't cooperate and my period was late thanks to stress from the first cancellation).

I'm impatient.  If this cycle is cancelled, I will freaking cry.  And I don't know why I'm so worried about it - I haven't had cysts in my prior ultrasounds and have no reason to think I will this time - but I just want to move forward so badly.

On a side note, the treatment of my endometriosis seems to have made a WORLD of difference.  My cramps are like 1/3 as painful as they were before and (warning - TMI) my period is significantly lighter as well. So yay for that at least.

Work will be crazy this week but I don't care because I am so excited at starting our first IUI try!  I keep trying to manage my expectations and tell myself it's unlikely we'll win the lottery and have it work on the first try but either way it feels like PROGRESS.

Hope everyone had a good weekend.  Mine was crazy as usual, with the B situation and all.  His wife came over today to tell him she's filing for divorce tomorrow so at this point there is definitely no end in sight to his stay with us.  He's family and I love him but the timing is pretty non-ideal.  Add to that the fact that my mother-in-law and brother-in-law and grandfather-in-law come into town Wednesday-Sunday, right when I'm in the middle of my Clomid, does not help...
