We have finally landed after a second weekend making the long trek down to Little Rock to see the fertility guru. I feel like Dorothy on the yellow brick road trying to find the elusive Emerald City and never quite getting there. After my appointment on Saturday, I decided that now I feel like Bill Murray in Groundhog's Day as we have to venture back to LR on Friday! Will it never end!!!!
I just want one weekend where I can get my housework done, spend time with my hubby and best dog ever, and actually attend church. Instead, the house is a mess, laundry needs to be folded, I can't find the power cord to my laptop (heaven forbid I left it in Little Rock), and I really need Calgon to take me away from all these science fair projects! If I ever see another science fair project it would be too soon!
Ok, enough mindless chatter...on to fertility news. After an ultrasound, it looks like I have small ovaries. Now, I could have told them this ages ago as they never can seem to find my left one until they have thoroughly probed me to where I truly think the probe is going to come shooting out of my belly button like on of those creatures in the movie, Alien. So, having small ovaries means I am either starting to have a decline in egg production already (37 rather than 41), or I am just a late bloomer this month. We do know the clomid (crazy drug to make you have multiple births) is starting to work as I have had the worst hotflashes ever this past week. I never knew someone could sweat from their feet so much! If this is any indication of what menopause is going to be like, heaven help us all gals!
If I am just a late bloomer and really do surge this week, then it will be all happy, happy, joy, joy for the hubby. We do have to have a test at the beginning of my next cycle that will determine whether we need to stop treatments and go the adoption/egg donor route only or continue on and change to injections. Either way, I am nervous, but know it is all in God's hands. I know he will eventually get me to Oz.

Thank you for the update! I'd been wondering about the fertility guru and whether he had worked any magic. Sounds like we'll find out one of these days pretty soon if the Clomid works. I, for one, hope it does.
If I never have to assist with another science project, it'll be too soon. Of course, Tim and Kenz still have to get through 6th grade, so I'm sure to be doing 2 more. No matter. I'll do it and be happy about it, by golly!
Sounds promising. I will be praying for you guys! I love your attitude. Hope you get some time to catch up on all those things at home sometime soon! Although, it is good preparation for when you do have children. It is like that all the time even when you are home doing it ;-)
