Trigger Happy

So my follicle check today showed that I am ready to ovulate!! My DH gave the trigger HCG shot at 8:30 pm and my IUI is scheduled for Saturday at 10:30 am. I am so ready for this. I am cautiously optimistic, but it is crazy to think in just 2 weeks I could be pregnant!

I can't wait to turn this into a pregnancy blog :)

Grow follies grow!

I had my second follicle check today and things are moving aong smoothly. The two front runners measure 16mm and 15mm. I had 2 other follicles that the RE says are too small to fertalize if released. 2 eggs are perfect! That can get me 1 or 2 babies :)

The plan is to go back for another u/s on Thursday and more than likely trigger Thursday night with an IUI on Saturday morning!!!!! It will be here before I know it, but then the 2ww starts. Patience has never been my strong suit :)

First Follicle Check!

Had my first follicle check today. I have 3 follies on my right side 11mm, 10mm, and 7.8mm. No follies on the left. My RE thinks the 11mm and 10mm will get mature enough to fertilize but doesn't think the 7.8mm one will make it. I have another u/s on Tues and IUI more than likely on Thursday or Friday.

I am getting so excited!!!!

Wow it has been a while since I last posted. I am excited to announce that AF arrived and I have started my IUI cycle with Femara!!! It has hit me that it is real now and I am SCARED!!! I can't imagine how I would have been if they wouldn't have saved my tubes and I was doing IVF instead. I just really want this to work and am not sure how I will react if it doesn't....... I know I should try and relax and think positive but it is hard. Of course the Femara side effects have not been kind to me, but in the end it will be so worth it!!!! My first follicle check is on Saturday the 18th and they said to anticipate the IUI on Wednesday(22nd) or Friday(24th). Please pray that this works!!!
