Could it be...3rd Time's the Charm??????

I HOPE SO!

So this is my 3rd try...the Clomid at 150 mg worked once again! I have a nice follicle in my left ovary...and my doctor says that things are consistent so there's no reason this shouldn't work! The reason in may not have worked thus far is unclear, but we're going to meet in a couple weeks to set a plan of what to do next if this doesn't work out. It might just be that my body doesn't agree with what we're doing, and may need a little more to help it along. But let's think positively...like I always try to do...and maybe this third time is the charm!

This was also my first visit to the Fertility Dr. without Andy at my side. It's ok...I think his presence makes it harder for me sometimes. Whether it's good or bad news, I get all emotional if he's there googling at me! Hahaha. It's nice to have him there, being a part of everything, and up to this point it's been awesome that his job is so flexible in allowing him to go. But it's getting busy for him and he's gotta be able to drop off his sample on Friday morning, and that's way more important than him sitting next to me for a five minute u/s appt.!

So tomorrow I go in for my hCg shot, which will release my egg in the next 24 or so hours...and then I go Friday at noon for another IUI...hopefully this time it's meant to be! I'm so ready for this!

2nd Failure

So it didn't work this time either.
I really thought this was gonna be it! I know it's still just the beginning of trying this method, but still, I've gotta have hope. It's all I've got.
I spotted early this past Weds. and then didn't have anything on Thursday the whole day...so I thought maybe it was implantation spotting. I got a little excited. And then Friday came along and I was crushed.
My cycle was only 27 days this time. Weird. Annoying.
I start the Clomid again tomorrow and we start over again for this cycle. Hopefully the 3rd time is the charm.

The Waiting Game

Yes, that is all this is, a waiting game.
When I got my period I had to wait 2 weeks to see if there were any follicles, now that there was a follicle, and we had the insemination done, we have to wait again, 2 MORE weeks to either get my period and start all over again.......or.........................it could be that things worked!

One week down, and I started breaking out a few days ago, usually I break out, all on my face before I start menstruating, so poo, if that mean that I'm getting my period. I'm hopeful that I've just got adult acne issues or something...and it worked!

Please.

2nd Chance

Okay, so we went back to see Dr. H today, and had a mid-cycle u/s. There's a nice follicle developing, in my right ovary, so I go back tomorrow to get the hCg shot. Then we do the insemination on Saturday!

This will be our second try with the insemination and clomid. Our chances are a little greater with each try...so hopefully this is our time!

We're keeping our fingers crossed!

IUI-the UNsuccess story

So the first IUI was not successful. SHIT.
I'm so upset it hurts.
But life goes on, we'll start over and try again. That was only my first IUI, a few more tries I guess, and hopefully one of them takes this time.
I was trying so hard to be so positive and basically convinced myself that this was our time. Apparently not so. It really sucks.

So I'm not pregnant, and we're starting all over, and this time, I'm keeping everything to myself and not sharing with anyone. I think that was part of my problem. I was really excited and wanted everyone close to me to know, and because of that, I keep getting asked all these questions all the time, and am stressed out. Maybe. Who knows. Or I'm just a defect and never will concieve. I can't handle the thought of that.
