tests results...

So, after I posted my most recent post I went back and read some of my previous posts and realized that I didn't update you on somethings.

-my state board test was as badly as I had suspected. I went down a level, but the awesome county I work for decided to let me keep my hourly rate. :) I plan to retake the test when I feel ready, hopefully I'll do better.

-Nathan had his sperm analysis and everything came back great. So, now we just have to get me straightened out.

-Foster Care. Right now Nathan has decided he wants to wait, not only on Foster Care but on Adoption too. He wants to make sure we've tried everything to have own our child. If we are told it's a slim chance for us to have our own biological children I'm sure he'll reconsider.

I think that's it...now you're up to pace. :)

My recent doctor's appointment

I finished up my third round of Clomid this cycle and was having some right side pain that felt a lot like a cyst (which is one of the side effects of Clomid). I called my doctor (on Wednesday) and the nurse (who I adore!) said if the pain continues to call back tomorrow and make an appointment. So, on Thursday I called and got an appointment for an ultrasound...let me just say, not fun!! As much as I hate having an internal ultrasound performed this one was probably the best one I've had so far (and the most painful). Crazy, I know but my doctor showed me everything he also complimented me by saying "You have beautiful PCOS ovaries!". haha. anyway. I had been drinking Blueberry Pomegranate juice by Minute Maid for my lining (and another side effect of Clomid is thinning of lining) and mine measured 10 mm (8-13mm is good)! I was so excited I was doing something right!! He measured my ovaries and everything looked good. We also talked about ovarian drilling and doing a HSG (to make sure my tubes are cleared). I go back on Sept 2 to schedule these procedures, he said they can be done the same day. I'm hoping and praying that I'll get pregnant this cycle so I won't have to go through with these procedures, but if they'll help me get pregnant...I'm gonna do it. :)

School is back in session and it's been nothing but crazy!! It's been so hot we've been on a heat schedule which means early dismissal. Don't get me wrong, I'm loving leaving at 1:30...but I know my paycheck is going to suffer from it. :( I have been completely exhausted in the evenings and most days come home and crash. I'm in the classroom signing from like 8:30 to 11:50 nonstop. The second part of the day I'm in a different classroom that's a little more relaxed and not so fast pace.

I, along with everyone else it seems, can't wait for fall!! I really don't have a favorite season because it seems like when the current season is coming to an end I'm so ready for the next to approach. Nathan is a huge football fan so I'm sure he'll be dragging me to all the football games. I really don't mind going I just don't understand football so I tend to get on his nerves asking questions. haha. He has tickets to go the University of Oregon vs. Tennessee game with a few of his buddies and he is so excited!! He's a HUGE ducks fan!! Me and my bff, Mrs. B already have plans for a girls day out that day so I'm probably equally excited for him to be going. :)
