Round #1 IUI

I went back to the Dr. on the 8th and had an ultrasound to see how big and how many follicles I had....I ended up having 2 good size ones on the left side which is my good side and 1-2 on my right side. They had me do one more shot of the follistim 75iu and then had me trigger with the noveral that night at 10:30pm I was a little freaked out since my husband is at work by then to who could give me my shot it is a 2 1/2 inch needle and all of it must go into the muscle :/ I was so blessed to have my friend Nikkie who loves that stuff give it to me what a LIFE SAVER!!! She is amazing and didn't even feel a thing till the next day!! We were set for the 10th at 8:15am for drop off and 10:30am for the iui...... We dropped off and came back and I was so nervous but all went well Dr. said we had good mobility and the whole process took 5 min maybe lol then I laid on my left side for about 15min and was able to go home! Now I am in my waiting period to know if this will be our month!!


Please understand we will know if this took or not earlier than most women know they are even pregnant due to knowing so soon we will not update this blog or post on social media till we are in the safe zone!! If this does not work we will also not be posting right away we will need time to dry the tears and prepare for round #2!! If I get my BFP it will be so hard not to tell you all.

until then please keep us in your thoughts and prayers and the waiting game is the worst!!!


Love you all and thank you for the support!!!

Round 1 IUI Update... sorry its late!

Since my last update we started treatment for IUI I started 75iu injections of follistim every morning for 7 days then went in for another ultrasound to check for mature follicles.... We were feeling super positive and hopeful more so than any other round we have done up to that point, my ultrasound apt was June 14th which was the day after our 4 year wedding anniversary what a gift we thought that would be! Well my mother in law got to come with me to my apt since Greg works third shift so what was nice it was a packed waiting room which is never a problem when I go. After waiting for an hour it was our turn to go back women look at you with such sympathy when the DR. comes and calls you personally and then asks you how your doing and rubs your back and says kind things I am sure the other ladies were thinking what the heck is wrong with her!! anyways we go back and start the oh so fun ultrasound NOT! and Dr. says well the right side has 2 good mature follicles ready and then lets look at the left he says "hummm..." ok not good and then tells me left side has none zip nada nothing! my heat sank because my mother in law and I were telling each other we were in the good news line. And being that no one knows whats wrong with my right side we talked and he told me we were done for that cycle and to call with the start of my next cycle UGH!!! so we came home I told Greg and we waited!!


Good old Mother Nature sent my cycle and so I called the Dr. and made my apt. which was this last Monday the 1st now normally when I go its ultra sound and then they tell you ok lets order meds and give me my plan of action.... This time I had the ultrasound and started treatment right then!!! and they doubled my dosage with the goal of having good follicles on the left and the right :) tomorrow is my last day at the double dose and then will go back to the 75iu for a few more days and back to the Dr. on the 8th!!! Please say a prayer for us that this round will be the round to give us those baby shoes!!

I will post again on the 8th everyone have a safe and happy 4th of July!
