No fish and failed the ultrasound but the girls are back in town!

Weekend away was great.  Nice to get away and just do our own thing.  We left at 4.30 in the morning because Scout wanted to be up there and fishing by 8am.  Unfortunately 45mins into the drive she realised she'd forgotten her wallet so we had to drive all the way home again to get it!  So after an hour and a half of driving we arrived back home and then set off again lol.  Anyway, in the end we had our rods out and lines wet by 9.30 which I thought was pretty good.  Found some great fishing and camping spots but didn't manage to catch much.  Scout got one nibble the whole weekend and while I managed to get 4 fish on the line - one got off right as I was bringing it in, one snapped off close to the edge before I even got a look at it, another I reeled in but it was only a small carp and the last one took my whole rod!  The one time I left it for a minute to go get my chair and when I turned around it was bending over and then flew off into the water!  Fortunately I managed to grab it before it completely disappeared into the depths.  Scout nearly wet herself she was laughing so hard :)  We lost alot of bait, one hard lure, a few soft lures and had a close call with our yabbie trap and my rod but all in all we had lots of fun just hanging out together.

Only fish we caught all weekend and it was a lousy little carp!

The girls got home yesterday afternoon and love their new rooms :))  They both seemed very happy to be home.  I had to work for the morning and then went in to have the Levovist test at the ultrasound clinic in the afternoon.  Since the girls had arrived home at 1.30pm and my test was at 2.30pm, Scout had to stay home to wait for them while I drove into the city for the test.  I was alittle nervous about it as I'd read that it could be alittle painful and naturally I was also worried about what they might find.  In the end it was a bit of a waste of time and left me with alot of cramping and no real outcome.  They did a normal vaginal ultrasound which was all fine but then when they went to put the catheter in for the dye they couldn't push it through my cervix.  The speculum they used was a plastic disposable one that was painful in itself before they even started poking and prodding and clamping and trying everything under the sun to get the catheter up there.  After about 5-10 mins I was starting to feel really hot and faint and in the end they gave up.  I almost fainted when I went to get up and they had to let me lie down for 10-15mins to recover.  I left feeling pretty upset and generally unwell.  I'm so disappointed they couldn't do the test, so now it looks like I'll have to have a laproscope to determine my tubes patency.  My FS is away on holidays at the moment so I will have to wait till our appointment on the 7th to find out when she'll do it so I'm alittle bummed that this means things will be further delayed.  I'm also worried about how much the surgery will cost.  Time will tell I guess.

Anyway I got to come home and catch up with our beautiful girls which made up for things.  They seemed very happy to be home and have our attention, and we were both happy to have our little family back together again.  Scout and I also had a reading with a clairvoyant over the phone last night which was interesting.  Lots of positive things forecast but unfortunately she didn't say much about our tcc journey which we were hoping to get some insight on.  She did however say that our little one should be on the way by the end of this year.  I hope so!

Today I have been feeling generally unwell and alittle faint for most of the day.  I'm still spotting from yesterdays procedure, but nothing to worry about.  Think I just need a good night sleep tonight.  Tomorrow I have to work in the morning and we go into the city again in the afternoon for our first fertility counselling session and consult with the financial people about just how much this journey is going to cost.  Hopefully that will go better then yesterdays little experiment :)
