So today was my 3rd ultrasound after my 3rd adjustment of the Clomid.
AND I HAVE AN EGG! WOOOOOHOOOOOO!
We're so excited...that there's something finally happening in my ovaries! Well at least the left ovary at this point. I'm so happy that the Dr didn't say..."oh they're quiet again..." meaning my ovaries...I couldn't bear to hear that! Now I know the Clomid is working.
Here's our next step:
First...I have an egg that's ready to drop soon. So to make it drop I got an hCg shot today as well. This shot in my hip will make my egg release within 48hrs. Tomorrow Andy has to wake up bright and early and give a specimen sample...we can collect it at home this time...and bring it in at 8:45am...the lab tech will wash the sperm...meaning separate the good ones from the not so good ones. Then at 12:15 I will be heading in to have an IUI...intrauterine insemination. They'll take the washed sperm and inject it through a small catheter in my cervix and this will cause the sperm to release into my uterus! They get to be right there, waiting for the egg to drop! Then 2 weeks later I take a pregnancy test, if it works we'll know...if not, we try again.
We're very hopeful, but also are keeping in mind that there's a high chance we'll have to try multiple times for this to be successful. I'd love for it to work the first time, who wouldn't. We'll keep praying and doing everything we can to make it happen!
YIPEE!!! I'm so excited! This is the first step in the right direction - lets keep moving forward!
