My computer has been absolutely retarded and so I have not been able to log into my blog account. I still exist!
Anywho, so the hubby hubs went to see the Infertility NP today. This is why I hate the military docs so much, btw. She informed him that they basically haven't been taking me seriously because I was being unreasonable and my complaint stated that I wanted to be artificially inseminated?!? WTF? So okay, now I am pissed and will kick her ass if I have to see her again. She did say that after his part of the infertility BS was done, it would be far easier to get seen off post and that is my goal. I am so sick of dealing with the whack jobs on post. This crazy ass lady actually said that none of the meds I am on will work because I am not exercising too. Umm, yeah. Maybe she should try reading the research and not leaving it up to me to do all of the stinkin' work?? Artificially inseminated...why would I want that when going straight to the source is soooo much more fun? Seriously, who prefers a turkey baster to the real thing?!? BLAH!

Testing Testing!
So, today I had my HSG. Let me just say, that hurt like hell! There is nothing like having someone shove a bunch of dye through your cervix and then watch it drain on the realtime x-ray. BTW, cool looking, did not feel so hot at all.
So I had to be there at 8 am to get some blood drawn. The girl said she was a paramedic for 18 years. I thought to myself, "This is good because last time the girl stuck me twice and it hurt." She must have been like the ambulance driver or something because first, seh stuck my tendon. For those who do not know, tendons do not feel anything like veins through the skin. Veins are spongy and bouncy when you feel for them...tendons are not. So she seemed confused as she molested my arms and kept asking which arm they usually draw blood from...umm okay. They usually ask which arm, but never have I pointed out WHICH VEIN!! In fact, after she tried to poke my tendon, I was feeling my veins and pointing to where they were! Hell, just give me the freakin' needle! She was nice enough to get the girl from the lab cubicle next door to stick me the second time, but went to hand the vacutainer to the girl and she was lost. LOST! So luckily, they got enough blood in the tube for a pregnancy test. The girl did end up blowing my vein and so I will have a nice bruise.
Okay, so then 2 hours to kill. So David and I went to a Mexican place and got fresh squeezed OJ (seriously, the lady did it in front of us...it was awesome). We got our Mexican breakfast foods...gotta love Texas :).
Okay, so back to the Radiology dept and because it's the Army, we got to wait and wait. So 45 minutes after my appointment was supposed to happen, they called me back. I got the joy of getting nuded up and putting on one of those lovely hospital gowns. So I got to sign all of the consents and meet the doctor. The table felt like it was 10 feet in the air and then they have your butt up on this wedge cushion and you feel like your girl bits are just exposed to the world and all up in the docs face LOL. The first thing I felt was a freezing cold metal speculum. Seriously, I jumped...I know he warned me it was cold, but it was COLD! The rest wasn't so bad, but then they inflated that balloon and I had some cramping... then they put the dye into your uterus and OMG. It was like the worse period cramp EVER that just wouldn't let go. So I am hurting and the guy is telling me to roll every which direction...which sucked to no end. All is normal, though. Tubes are open and everything else is as it is supposed to be :D.
2 hours later...pain is finally gone, but with twinges of pain. All I can say is that I hope I never have to do that again!

The Road So Far...Our Story
We have been married for 5 Years now. We have been through 1 deployment and we are trying (finally hehe) our hand at parenthood. Unfortunately, that's where the speed bumps begin.
I married the greatest man ever. I love that man to pieces and the whole being spoiled thing is great too haha. Our story isn't really very exciting. I met David when he was in flight school in 2002. I always said i wouldn't marry a military man...go figure. I dated him for an entire year in Alabama, then he was stationed in North Carolina and we did the long distance thing until we just couldn't take it any more and we tied the knot in 2004. We have been inseparable ever since...especially when the Army lets us stay together.
David left for Iraq in June 2008 and came back June 2009. That's about the time we found out that my body doesn't work and so now we get the joy of doctors, poking, prodding, being violated in more ways than you can imagine... This is also when I figured out just how bad military health care sucks ass! I am determined to get my way and anyone who knows me, knows *just* how stubborn I can be.
