Its been a few days since I lasted posted. I had my follow-up appointment on Thursday May 31st at the Fertility Clinic. It was pretty much the same ole same blah blah blah. I got myself all worked up that morning stressing about the U/S and blood draw. However, It wasn't as bad as expected...I've wised up the last few weeks and I've been taking an aspirin before each appointment to make it easier for the nurse to get blood from me (not sure what took me so long to figure this one out...lol).
My appointment was at 9am (on the last day of the month at work no less..bad idea when you work in the mortgage industry...ugh!). These appointments have become routine...walk in, sign in, wait a bit, go to the bathroom (vaginal ultrasound so peeing before hand is always a good idea hehe!), wait a bit more, get called to a room, get my tattoos (nurse draws a circle on each butt cheek/hip so Mike knows where to to give the injections a few days later), undress, wait some more, dr performs ultrasound....and JACKPOT! NO cysts! YAY!
We got the green light for IUI #2....I even had a few small follicles/eggs ready to start growing. Last day of BCP was that night. Dr advised I would start on Sunday June 3rd (CD1) and on Tuesday June 5th (CD3) I will start the HMG injections. No Clomid/Femara this cycle....only injections. I wrill continue with injections (2 powers 75IU for 150IU total) until CD8. On Monday June 11th (CD9) I go back to the Fertility Clinic for a follow-up ultrasound and blood work. What happens next will depend on the results!
So thats where we're at now....I'm on CD3 sitting here in bed trying to hurry up and type this so that Mike can give me my first injection of the cycle....He's sitting beside me acting a little too eager for me to get finished. I think he secretly enjoys getting to play doctor and inflict pain on me...haha! (After all he did have varicocele repair surgery last year 4/4/11 in hopes of improving his sperm count...poor guy).
Well, thanks for listening to me....its nice to have a place to share my thoughts and to document everything going on.
