IUI #3 is done.
Well we went in this morning and G’s counts were better then they have ever been. It was significantly more painful then the other two but more importantly it is done.
I spoke with the nurse about how hard Clomid has been on me and how I really don’t think I could take it again. She said that if I have to do IVF it won’t be nearly as bad so that was reassuring.
So now we wait....
Here goes nothing....
Well we are all set for tomorrow’s third and FINAL IUI. Went in this morning for my ultrasound and I had 3 follicles, 2 on my right ovary that were mature in the 20-22 mm range and 1 on my left that was 15. The left one is NOT likely to catch up at this point so we are hoping and praying that the right one drops those egg/eggs!!!!
Did my injection to stimulate ovulation and now just...

Well you all know by now that I have been trying lots of crazy things over the year to get pregnant. This list may or may not include putting my legs in the bicycle position after getting it on or something really disgusting called pre-seed that you are going to have to trust me on or google. Hell, I even did Infertility yoga and meditation! I have tried acupuncture and even read The Secret (okay,...

Thats all.
No, actually it’s not. I really hope that this works so I can say that all this is worth it.
Okay, now thats really all.

Gary: Thanks for doing everything you are doing to yourself so we can have a baby.
Amy: G-damnit I am going to go into work crying now....
Here we go...AGAIN!!
In a good mental place today. Not all over the place like Friday. Which makes anyone who has to come in contact with me happy, I’m sure.
Had the Cycle Day 3 baseline ultrasound and we are good go to. Starting 100mg of clomid tonight. AHHHHHH YUCK. The bright side of this is that I WILL NEVER BE TAKING CLOMID AGAIN AFTER THIS WEEK. I will either be pregnant or moving on to IVF. Hoping for...
IUI #2 = BIG FAT FAIL
I am not even sad right now. I am furious. I am pissed. I am angry. I am frustrated.
WHY WON’T THIS WORK FOR US?
Are we not deserving? Do I have bad Karma out there? Am I being punished?
I really can’t keep doing this to my body and my mind. Physically and mentally this whole process is draining every bit of happy-go-lucky I had left in me after my mom’s breakdown and parents...

Help?
So we are planning to take a vacation in August. We will either be taking a month off treatments around then so I can enjoy cocktails or we will be using it to celebrate a baby.
We want to go somewhere in the states because it will be too freaking hot to go to the Islands. If we are going to be drinking we are thinking of a Napa Valley tour but if we are not able to drink I would like to rent a...
Still here, still waiting....
I know I keep repeating myself on here but not much has happened. This time has gone faster then the last time but I really do not have the hope that I had last time. I really feel 100% that it did not work again. I don’t know if I am doing this to try and protect myself from becoming so upset or I just know deep down. Not sure.
It sucks though, I know I shouldn’t get ahead of myself...
1 more week
And we will know if this worked this time. I am doing MUCH better then last time but am starting to get a little anxious. I have things in place to help this time though.
Also, in the interest of being super evasive and weird….There are some new things brewing in our world that are not baby related but I can’t talk about yet.. I know, I know… I should just keep quiet until I can...
Moving right along.....
That is a phrase that makes us giggle in our household… It is usually said under Gary’s breath during Yom Kippur services when the Rabbi skips a portion or under my breath in church once the sermon is over. It is pretty much said in any situation where it is inappropriate to talk out loud and you wan’t to kind of get things moving!!
Well today that is how I am feeling… We...
