Call of Duty Fans

Not sure if anyone out there is a fan of Call of Duty, or has a husband or loved one that is. But on 11/11/09, the latest version will be released. The game is $59.99 retail value. I hate paying full price for anything, you should know that by now. Walmart (XBOX360) is offering a $20 eCard (gift card only to be used online) with the purchase of the game (but offer valid with all platforms). In my eyes, the game comes out to $40! Frog Hunter ordered it over the weekend, and is excited to receive it already. Actually, he never got Call of Duty 4, so we got that one on eBay too, at a great discount.

Get your cookbook!

I love Pioneer Woman. And the cookbook is officially out! And I just ordered my copy. =) Walmart has it for the low price of $13.32 (plus $1.96 shipping), about a buck cheaper than Amazon (and shipping is always expensive on Amazon).

IUI Done

At today's appointment, we had a scheduled u/s prior to IUI. The doctor explained that the purpose of the u/s was to confirm ovulation. The reason my estrogen dropped yesterday was b/c I ovulated on my own... my body didn't wait for the trigger, which occurs in 15% of cases. So, basically, I ovulated already. IUI performed. However, no reason for IUI tomorrow. Hopefully it took. I had a very rough night last night, and don't know if I can bare much more of this sh*t.

And yet another update

I went back in today for further monitoring:

U/S - follicles measured 18/16
B/W - estrogen dropped from yesterday (nurse didn't give me an exact number on voicemail)

Trigger tonight; IUIs Saturday and Sunday. Wish me luck!

Cycle update

Again, more monitoring today. Estrogen levels were 945. Ultrasound indicated the strongest follicles measure 16 & 15, with several others trailing behind. One more day of Follistim, and more monitoring tomorrow morning.

Last cycle, They wanted estrogen to be at 1000 before I trigger... hopefully it will happen this time too, so Saturday/Sunday IUI is looking more and more possible.

Cycle Update

Friday I went in for my baseline monitoring. My ovaries looked great, and my estrogen was 34... so start Follistim! I've been taking Follistim 150 units since Friday, every night up to last night. This morning I went in for more monitoring. Ultrasound indicated 4 great follicles, and 1 follicle a little behind. Estrogen levels today are 249, and I am to continue Follistim for the next 2 nights. More monitoring Thursday morning.

Here's hoping for Saturday/Sunday IUIs, to avoid being late to work next week.

More "Ugly Betty" Pictures

Can you see my fake teeth with braces?!

A few of us that dressed up, with the CEO of our company. He had a blast with us. A witch, vampire, Elle Woods (Legally Blonde), Ugly Betty, Witch Doctor, and Cat from Kiss.
