It was definitely a Monday

Yesterday was our first meeting with the specialist. I have to tell the whole story of yesterday though as it was a Murphy's Law morning.  I clocked out at 9:45 for my 10:30 appt (takes 25-30 minutes to get to the Frisco office) as it frazzles me to be late. I go out to my car and turn my key and I hear... click click click.. I repeat this action 3 or 4 times in complete denial that my car is not starting. It must, this is important, our first meeting. They want us to be there early, what will they think? Will I have to pay a fee? How long will it take to get a make up appt? As all of this is going through my head in about 10 seconds as I call Billy.  I cut to the chase, he says hi, my reply? My car won't start. He decides to head my way. I flag down two co-workers on their break. They kindly have me lift the hood, start poking around. The conclusion is made based on the green fungi looking stuff on top of my battery, that the battery is the culprit. The first two guys didn't have jumper cables ( neither did I) then I track down two of our sweet security guards who do. They jumped my car after rolling it out of it's parking spot and blocking anyone else getting out of that section of the parking garage.  They jump, I head to the nearest Auto Zone a block away as I'm told I won't be able to start the car anymore unless I get jumped again. I arrive at the auto place, the guy steps up and says so you're here for your expired inspection sticker huh? I'm like what? Sure enough, I look at my windshield and it expired the day before. So I say ok, while you're doing that it appears I need a new battery too please. I give him my insurance, get in Billy's car and off we go leaving my car at the auto place.

Alert: Medical procedure described in the following :-)

I know I was frazzled, trying to call directory assistance to let them know we might be late, wondering how much that was going to cost and really wanting to make a good first impression on this office as we need their help. Billy takes me hand and just breathes deep. It's such a comfort that he's there for me. So the office visit went pretty well I think itself. We were about five minutes late, which I found myself still apologizing multiple times for. They take our picture, fill out a couple more forms and off we go back. They did a series of tests on me, blood, general physical stats and some more personal diagnostics. The blood pressure test was a bit high for me (I  can't imagine why after the car situation). Since all the tests came back normal, the proposed treatment plan is clomid done with an IUI. Clomid is a fertility drug that will prompt my body to release more eggs and I will do LH tests which measures when I ovulate. LH is a hormone that increases when the ovaries release an egg. They will monitor me with multiple sonograms for the best time and then see what happens. When I do ovulate, they will take a specimen from Billy and get it as close to my uterus as possible to encourage reproduction.  They will do this for up to  3-4 months. Should nothing come of that, we've been advised the next step would be a laparoscopy (sp) which would require an incision and for me to be put under so that could see if anything is wrong on a much deeper level. Then it would be IVF, which for us, we have decided not to pursue.

I was relieved to know they have found no physical reasons that we aren't conceiving. Dr. Doody said the term was just "unexplained infertility". We feel further confirmation about working part time closer to home, finding a church closer to home. Simplifying things at this point to do what we can to relax, calm down and keep trusting the Lord's provision, timing and will.
