So I am a slacker...go ahead and say it.

I haven't felt like blogging in a long time so rather than come up with a post probably ttc related I decided to just rebel and skip it all together.

Joe and I went to Columbus on Saturday with my in laws for some Mellow Mushroom pizza. It's so delicious and totally worth the hour drive up there. I know we are like the only people crazy enough to drive an hour for pizza. Before we left though my FIL Casually mentions that Joe's brother would like a cookout and the only day available is Joe's birthday. Which makes me super upset because I had already started planning our own get together. At the time I said I would change things around but I don't think I will. My plans have been in the works for at least a month. It's not fair to our friends whom I've already told and the ones who haven't been formally invited yet. But you all are! Joe is going to talk to them about it. But our party is a go so save the date. August 8th @1.

I got my post ovulation blood work on Thursday. I expected to hear back Friday morning for my results. With some encouragement from Jessi when I hadn't heard after lunch I called the office to find out what was going on. The nurse said "Oh that's why you haven't been called your results were waiting for Dr. Williams he is no longer with us"WTF!!!!! I was devastated. TTC is personal for me and I had a relationship built up with Dr. Williams. I was in tears going back to my desk. I had to wait 2 hours for my new doctor to call with my blood results. He comes off as cocky, which is a terrible quality for a fertility doctor. For any doctor. He says my levels were at a 1.4 and I didn't ovulate. That I probably wouldn't get a cycle on my own and we are going to change to injections. Which is the plan Dr Williams and I already had. If this cycle wasn't a success we would go ahead and move on. But then he starts talking about inseminations and costs of injections being the reason for insemination. I don't think that's a good enough reason to spend 700 + a cycle if insurance doesn't cover it. I figure if my hubby has good swimmers and I have clear tubes which we have confirmed why not do it the old fashioned way. I guess I understand if your paying out of pocket you wouldn't want to do the injections for many cycles. But insurance covers injections for me I only pay $60 of $1200 a month for them. (Thank goodness) I wouldn't be able to do it if it wasn't covered. I am just at a loss. I was so discouraged. It felt like we had a huge road block thrown in our ttc path.

I decided that I am going to wait this cycle out. I really feel like I did ovulate despite the test results. I had ovulation pains on Friday/Saturday and then the test should have been done on Saturday but was done early on Thursday. I don't think the results are reliable. We are going to move onto the injections provided we can afford them. I know it will be alot more costly than what we were doing. We are sticking it out for now but we may be on the market for a new RE.
