2nd IUI

Well we had our second IUI today.

Jeff did his sample at home and then we rushed over to the RE's office, dropped it off and then went to Target. We went back to the doc's office an hour later and finally get called back to do our procedure..

Are you ready for this??

His count was 950,000!!!! I know that's not really that high, but for us thats really really good so I'm extremely happy. It was almost triple what it was last time (357,000), so that means the Clomid is really actually working!!

We both have our fingers crossed that at least one of my eggs gets fertilized, what an awesome Christmas gift that would be :0). I'll be testing on January 4th, I'll be 12DPIUI and it's also when Jeff leaves to go back to Florida. Hopefully I have some good news for him. :0)

O, our IVF packet came in the mail the other day, what a lot of paperwork!! All that's left is to get the rest of my bloodwork results back, get a physical/pap done and also get Jeff's blood work. Then we fax that all up there and get officially accepted. Once that happens we'll get an orientation date. I really hope the IUI works and we won't need to do the IVF, but its really nice to have that as a backup.

Follie Check

Well I had my RE appointment this morning to check to see how well I'm responding to the Clomid this time.

Well...

I had 3 Follies!! All were 16mm.. completely awesome.. and my doctor told me I might not respond as well to the Clomid this time around because of the BCP I was on last cycle.. psshhh to her..

So we're triggering late Sunday night and having the IUI Tuesday morning! I'm being cautiously optimistic about it... I just really really hope that Jeff's count is a lot better than last time.. I mean cmon it's got to be better than 357,000... *fingers crossed*..

O yeah I almost forgot..... I got to pick up Jeffrey Thursday afternoon!!! It's so great to have him home.. I missed him sooo much... I'm really not going to want to bring him back... *sigh*..

blah

*sigh* that is all.

Update 12/4

Hey everyone! Just a quick update since nothing much is going on....

Jeff will be home on Dec 18th until Jan 4th (no not violating OPSEC he's in school not deployed). I miss him lots so hopefully these next 2 weeks fly by.

I took my last BCP pill tonight, Dec 7th will be considered CD 1. I'm taking Clomid 50mg again from CD 5-9, going in for my first ultrasound on Dec 19th. If everything goes like last time (trigger on CD 15 and IUI on CD 17), we'll be triggering on Dec 21 and having the IUI on Dec 23. Only going through with it if Jeff's count is over a million so *fingers crossed* that it is.

Walter Reed got our referral last week, we should receive notice via mail (welcome packet and all that) in about 2 weeks.. exciting! Of course I hope the IUI works and we won't need the IVF, but it's nice to have that in the background just in case.

Well that's it.. just waiting for Jeff to come home......
