CD9

Where have I been? Geez! Work has been so busy, I didnt have enough time during the day to write and was too tired to get back on the computer at night. Plus, there isnt really much to talk about. Last weekend, Brian and I discussed adopting from Kazakhstan. We decided to move forward and if this cycle works we would just be out a few hundred dollars but if it didnt we would be on our way to adoption. By Monday, Brian had found a statement on the website of the Secretary of State that discussed the risks of travelling to Kazakhstan. Apparently, there are terrorist cells in that region and they are targeting Americans and willing to kill civilians in public places. This made Brian too nervous and honestly, I was a little scared too. We decided that now is not a good time to travel to a potentially hostile location so we put Kaz on hold. I started 100mg of Clomid on Sunday night. I took it at night this time because technically CD1 wasn't really CD1. I havent really had any side effects except a hot flash last night and the night before. I have been a tinge on the moody side but that could have been from stress at work. Next week should be a lot better at work which will be perfect since that is when I expect to have the IUIs.

How could I forget? Our other big news is that we are going to renovate the kitchen. We have been talking about it, going back and forth, and when we decided not to go through with the adoption I said I needed something to distract me and a new kitchen should do the trick! We are supposed to meet with the contractor tomorrow to find out what to expect and what we need to do. It is going to be so much fun! I'm sure it will be stressful as well but it will be something else for me to focus on which I really need. I am off to look at cabinets and counter tops!! Let me know if you have any suggestions - we have a tiny kitchen so I need to make the most of my space. Any space-saver or tight area tips?

so i ordered my spermeies, and I was able to get the donor i wanted. The lady i meet thru the donor sibling reg, contacted me and she was willing to sell me the vials she had, but they were not stored at Fairfax but at her Dr. Office. Which would mean i would have to rent a tank and pay for pickup and shipping both ways from VA to NYC. so in the end it wasn't worth it to have to spend crazy money to get it. So i called fairFax and weas able to buy 2 vials, one of which i stored!!!!....so i'm super excited!!! looks like we will be cycle buddy again!!!
