I survived the week getting new windows and doors installed. Honestly I don’t know how certain companies stay in business with the complete lack of customer service and professionalism. Something that should have been a 2-3 day job took 5 days and what I feel is a messy end work product. I like the windows, but the whole install was a bit of a disaster and the company could care less. Instead of apologizing or trying to correct some of the issues, they just had a bunch of BS excuses.

At least they are in. Now I just have to do a bunch of touch ups to get the rest of my house back to where it was.

It’s probably a good thing I’m not in any early stages of pregnancy or in my next TWW because I think the stress would have messed with me even worse. My next IUI will probably be around Thursday of the coming week. I finished the clomid on Thursday and tonight need to give myself the Gonal F shot again. I’m not looking forward to that. Then Tuesday I go in for the ultrasound and blood work to determine when to trigger and when the IUI will be scheduled.

I also have an appointment with the doctor on the 29th to talk about IVF as an option if this next try doesn’t work. I’m hoping it doesn’t come to that and that the 5th try is the one that sticks, but I want to be prepared just in case. The thought of IVF scares me, but if it’s going to get me pregnant more quickly then I’m at the point of considering it. The emotional toll of all this trying is getting to me and I’m also not loving taking all of these medications. Before I started trying, I hardly ever took anything…not even advil, so it does worry me what all these medications are doing to my body.

I keep visualizing being pregnant, holding my baby in my arms, then holding his/her hand walking down the street…
