My HSG was today and PHEW - my tubes are clear! 

I was pretty confident they were clear since I did get PG in August.  But the doc was never able to rule out ectopic, and so my RE strongly encouraged the HSG.  It wasn't bad at all.  I was surprised at how quickly the whole thing went.  My appointment was at 3:00 and by 3:30 I was done, had gone upstairs to the pharmacy, and was on the road.  I only had some mild cramping during the procedure and felt just fine afterwards.  But I was never really worried about the procedure itself, just the results.  And I'm so relieved to find out this is one less thing I have to worry about!

The next thing on my list is bloodwork on Wednesday (to check liver/kidney function before I can go back on Met), and then my CD14 ultrasound on Friday.  Today I found out I'm being triggered and had my teaching visit with the nurse.  I highly question my abiity to give myself a shot, and I'm praying I'll trigger at a time when my best friend (and registered nurse) can do it for me!  I'm very anxious to get going with this whole thing, and I just wish the days would go faster!

I'm starting to worry about missing so much work.  I missed a half-day last week, and then a half-day today. My students asked where I was going and I just said I wasn't going to talk about it.  But a NOSY parent this morning WOULD NOT relent with why I was gone last week (and this was before she knew I was missing this afternoon!).  The frustrating thing is that I know they suspect I'm pregnant.  It hurts so much that not only are they wrong and I'm not pregnant, but it's the exact opposite:  I'm infertile.  Last year when I had my ovary removed and had tons of doctor's appointments, I found out after the fact that a lot of the parents assumed I was pregnant.  It's not your business!  And I'm sorry but I find it rude to ask why I'm missing work.  I'm leaving your kids in good hands and doing my best to miss as little work as possible.  I can't help it if I took off a day and a half for my miscarriage and a day for IF treatments!  But I don't intend to share with you regardless.

Oh Lord, there are a number of reasons why I would like to get pregnant this cycle. But one of those reasons is that it would help me to avoid going to the RE's 3-4 times a month and missing all this work and raising suspicions with parents.  I'm very ready to be a normal pregnant lady and not feel a need to lie about my absences anymore.  Sigh.

Counting down the days until Friday's u/s and then just waiting to O!
