New round

So we're on a new round of ai/iui this month. This is our 3rd cycle trying, 2nd with the ai/iui.

I took vitex from the first day of my cycle and drank fertilitea about twice a day this time.

I actually ovulated a day later than I typically do, I ovulated on day 15 instead of day 14. Dr asked if anything happened in the last week like stress or illness. I will say that I had an incident with my bff's bf the week prior but had forgotten about it.

He's such an idiot. We go to school together, but he has a problem with her going. It's a control issue if you ask me. I went to pick her up (we carpool since it's about a 40 minute drive and we take the same classes) and he came storming out to my car yelling and cussing at me saying I'm making his life a living hell. I was not expecting that one. So I called the police since I felt threatened. He was touching my car, leaning in yelling at me through my window. I called my hubby after I called the police. They showed up and talked to him. Explained to him what we all think, there's nothing wring with her going to school and maybe he should seek counseling.

Well, she ended up leaving him. She moved out with her kids to her brothers until she can find a place of her own. I feel bad for it all and apologized to her for calling the police and she actually said she was glad I did. She felt he needed to learn that there is nothing wrong with her getting an education. Can you believe he actually does want to get couple's counseling? I'm glad he's taking that step.

Drama, I can't stand it. I'm a simple, peaceful easy going type of person. So when he did that, I was shocked. I've never seen him act like that before and she never did either.

Well, I think that may have set me off on ovulating bc I was pretty upset for a couple days after that. Or the vitex and tea. I don't know.

But I can say this, when I went in for the ultrasound, I had one egg in my left ovary that was 18mm in size and ready to release he said in the next 12 hours. In my right ovary I had two that were 9mm each not ready. Dr said that since I have a clear history that not to worry, they'll just dissolve back into my body.

The next morning we came in and the egg had just released from the ovary. Dr said it couldn't have been a more prefect time for the ai. So now I am on 4 dpo just waiting out the dreaded two week period. I'm actually more patient this time around. Hubby isn't though. He asks me every day when can I begin testing.

I'm not sure when I'll begin testing since implantation takes anywhere from 6-8 days to occur. I might get that itch and begin during that time. Or I might wait until 10 dpo. Typically I begin to start spotting before my period around 10-11 dpo. So I may test before then just for the heck of it. We'll see. Either way, we're going to find out eventually if it took or not.

So, I also have finals this week and next. This week for my online classes and next week for my on campus classes. I hate finals. It's so hard when you hav been out of school for 15 years to go back. I will say that in the beginning everything seemed so easy. I have all A's and B's. But this quarter has proven to be challenging. I have a C in one of my interior design classes. I think she's too hard though on us. My other BFF is an interior designer now for 12 years. She took a look at my grades, comments and work and she said my work has been great (this class is drawing mostly on the history of interior design). She said it may be bc she's a designer herself, she expects more from us.

I don't know, all I know is I can't wait until I graduate. I'm already in my sophomore year so I'm almost there, kinda. :-)

I would say what's been hardest for me is the algebra class. I love basic math and can figure things in my head quick. But when you ask me about y+-2x=16 is, forget it! And to think I have to take algebra 2 next. My last math class will be geometry, ugh. I'm going to have to ask my daughters friends for help (she's ok in algebra, but told me two of her friends love it and excel in it).
