Technology war in the house

Yesterday there was a technology war in our house
It was between
Roomba and our tablet PC.

Roomba wom!

We got home from work and our little PC was on the floor dead. It just had enough power for us to attch our external hard drive and download some documents. We we're pissed because we are off to Italy next week and we had all our technology requirements sorted out.

Today the disater was averted.

We went to Harvey Norman and we got our selves a very cute little hp tablet PC. It's pretty and much faster than our old one. And then we took a trip to the Apple store in the it and got our selves an iPad. We were so excited. So it's L & J: 2 Roomba: 1


We win!!!!


So I've taken the ipad to bed and I wanted to test out how easy it us to write my blog on it. And just as I thought it's amazing. I don't think WJ will ever get a chance to use this. He can have the HP I'll have this one.

Now awe are totally sorted for Europe. Yay I'm excited!!

One major thing s that I'm meeting my IVY girls on saturday. Infertility is truly a special club. No one really understands what you think and feel unless they have been through it themselves. No one can truly understand the evil properties of crinnone and are able to talk in acronyms in daily conversations and then get a confused look on their face when the person your talking to has no idea what TTC, AF, DH, FSH and PCoS are.


Much love and AF cramps

And it continues....

Each time I think of my old fertility clinic the more I think 
WOW what a waste of TIME !!!
I feel so cheated by them.



Today I received a letter from my new clinic and it explained that
yes I have PCO and I am anovulatory which mean I don't ovulate on my own.


Why did it take one Dr who spoke to me for 45 minutes and review all my history to tell me this.


Every time we met with Dr T he would always say
"i dont know why your not falling pregnant"


WELL FUCK!!! DID YOU ACTUALLY LOOK AT MY TESTS AND RESULTS!!


Dammm


Im so glad that he is out of my life!!

And the acronyms continue.......

Did you know:

There are actually fertility specialist out there that want to help you...

Strange I know but I think I found him.

WJ and I had our appointment at our new clinic on Thursday and I didn't walk out of there feeling like a total looser.

Our new baby Dr came out and said you do have PCO and we are going to treat that.
This is our plan so far.
1. Im doing a glucose tolerance test today to check for diabetes (have never been checked before)
2. ill be talking Metformin for 3 months and during this time get really healthy and lose wieght
3. In March we will be doing IVM with ICSI

Yes IVM not IVF its not a spelling error.. I had never heard of this before, apparently its really good for women with PCOS because it reduces the risk of OHSS. You are on less FSH drugs and then you take HRT drugs to help with the TWW.

What they do is take out the immature follicles and mature them in the lab then use ICSI to inseminate them instead of the eggs and sperm having a party in a petri dish together, then they transfer a day 5 blast about 6 days later.

Dr H said that for some women they actually fall pregnant while on Metformin. We are hoping that i am going to be one of those women. Its great knowing that for the next 3 months we have a plan. While we are in Italy Ive told my brother (who is a workout fanatic) that he needs to work me out while we are there. He was happy to do that.

Well I must be off Ive got my 2 hour GTT this morning. I need to gather some reading material before I go becuase the only magazines they have in the waiting rooms are from 1997 when Tom and Nicole were still together and when Kristy Ally had lost weight for the 2nd time.

Do you think they will mind if i paint my nails while i'm waiting?


Much Love

New beginnings?

Tomorrow we have our appointment with a new fertility specialist. I haven't thought much about it but this afternoon its all I'm thinking of. I'm so nervous. What if things don't go the way we want them to, what if he is a total jerk,
what if, 
what if,
what if....

I'M GIVING MYSELF INDIGESTION.... oiii

Will this be the new beginning that we are hoping for?
I'm just hoping this new doctor will support us on our journey.

We have decided that if we don't get a good vibe straight away then we will turn back and

RUNnnnnnnnnnnn




I don't think I can handle anymore disappointment.
