Bored, Thinking & New Things Lying Ahead....(Long)

First off, I know I haven't been around so much lately.  Congrats to any BFPs I may have missed and huge hugs to anyone who needs them!

So, currently about 2/3 of our house is being painted (YAY for fresh newness!  It is making me SOOOO happy)!  Well, I can't leave the house because of the contractors and the pups are at day camp, so I am a bit bored and have nothing but time to think.  I received a message from a dear friend who I haven't spoken with in quite some time since she moved overseas this morning and we messaged back and forth for a bit.  In my conversation with her, I realized that this is really the first time in about a year that I have felt hopeful about much of anything, and can I just say it feels AWESOME!!!!  I accepted a part time job next week (25 hours a week with max pay for the position!) so I will still have time to work on me, which will be so nice because I know I haven't been taking care of myself.  My MIL passing away a few weeks ago is very sad, but DH and I both agree that it is also a blessing that she didn't suffer too long, as she was in quite a bit of pain both physically and psychologically.  She is definitely missed, but it is also nice that we can focus again on ourselves and desire to have kids (in fact we have spoken and if we have a girl we will name her after my MIL - maybe just the middle name, but we will see).  So, I think all this newness of the fresh paint, new job, and the fact that next week I'll begin provera to start a new cycle (since I still haven't cycled on my own) and then we can start a medicated cycle again with injects is bringing me some hope!  FX things will go well this time around!

Question regarding injects:  I have no idea what I will be taking - at the last medicated cycle back in November, nurse who did the monitoring u/s said I'd be moving onto injects next but that what and how much would be left up to my RE and that I'd find out when I start my next cycle.  I haven't spoken with my RE since September - what do you think I should ask (they said I have to come in for a pregnancy test, even though I know I am not pregnant) and should I request to speak with RE directly rather than nurse?  I'm not the best at asking questions or advocating for myself as a patient (I'm great as an advocate for others though...)

Thanks all!

Ask what FSH drug(s) they will have you on:  Gonal F, Follistim, Meanpur, etc.  How much of it they expect you will need (I know it varies on response but they should be able to give you a ball park of what to order).  

Ask what is

Sorry, can't really reply to your question (never did IUI w/ injects), but just wanted to say I'm glad you are doing well and have all this "newness" in your life!  Sorry to hear about your MIL, but glad she is not suffering anymore.  GL on your
