6th and FINAL IUI cycle...

Baseline: No cysts- several resting follies on both sides.

E2: 36

Tonight: First follistim injection of the cycle.

Tomorrow's post: The dreaded white folder...

Waiting...

Just waiting for cycle day one for the twenty-second time.

We've been trying for over two and a half years and have had twenty-two failed cycles.

Ten failed Clomid cycles.

1 failed injectable cycle.

5 failed IUI cycles.


We are going to do one last injectable IUI cyle. If that isn't successfull... well, you know what comes next. Right now, I am trying not to think about it!

If you were wondering....

... five was no luckier than one, two, three or four. Not pregnant. Still.

I think I have one more try left in me... then... well, lets not talk about it yet.

Monday...

I just booked a last minute getaway for the hubs and I early next week. We'll head out of town right after my beta on Monday morning, and hopefully we'll have something exciting to celebrate on Monday night! If not, this little trip will NOT be spent sulking about our amazing lack of luck... it will instead be spent enjoying each other, relaxing, eating at our favorite restaurants and recharging before we start this roller coaster once again.

The good news is, Monday is going to be a good day no matter what. The bad news is, you will have to sit tight to find out the outcome of this cycle until sometime Wednesday or Thursday :)

A List of Nothing....

I really have nothing to say. So, I will just give you a list of nonsense....

• I am halfway through the 12 day wait. Monday is the big day.
• I am spending the 2ww working on quilting baby blankets for twins. They were conceived by some friends of ours via IVF 'round two.
• Progesterone suppositories are gross.
• I have a vial of follistim in my fridge.... I hope I get to donate it!
• I am actually hungry! It feels like a miracle after being on Metformin for four months. I have been craving Chipotle for DAYS!
• I think my in-laws might come for the weekend.
• If my MIL makes a stupid comment about our lack of offspring, I might loose it. But, my temporary loss of sanity can be blamed on the progesterone I previously mentioned.
• I started watching 'Brothers & Sisters' on Netflix. I LOVE it!
• I have convinced myself that any "symptom" that I currently have is because of the progesterone. I am trying SO hard not to read into anything :)
• I can't stop eating peanut M&Ms.
• I need some book recommendations. I am currently at the bottom of the stack I have been chipping away at over the last year. Once I finish 'Love Walked In' I don't know what I am going to read.
• I miss the gym. Perhaps I will head back this week for some walking or bike riding!
• Even though I hate the waiting, I love this week in my cycle. No appointments!!!

SIX more days!!

Let talk about....

lady parts. (count this as fair warning)



Do the rest of you feel completely weirded out when it sounds as if your doctor is jacking up a car when in fact they are using a speculum in your baby maker? Seriously, that sound is horrible.

That's all.
At least for now.

I am sure there will be another installment of this glorious topic once I start the vaginal progesterone suppositories.... isn't there a better way?

Lucky Number Five...

...with lucky number three.

We had our fifth IUI this morning with our third doctor. That is sure to be lucky, right?

Now.... 12 LOOOONG days!!!
