I feel like a druggie!

I gave myself 3, yes 3 injections today. I never thought I could do it, but really it was not that hard. I fee like a druggie- I have syringes and drugs everywhere, its crazy! I also went to acupuncture today, it was great, SO RELAXING!
I am starting to get ovary pain, they are starting to feel full, which is good, that means the drugs are working!

I go back to Dr. Littman on Friday for another ultrasound, so hopefully all is growing well!

IUI #3 with 3 growing follicles

Well- I had my day 8 ultrasound and blood work this morning, and everything looks good! My blood levels are good, and I have 3 mature follicles that are growing like weeds. I have one at 15mm and 2 at 13mm, which means that I will most likely trigger on Wednesday night and have the IUI on Friday. I think its kinda funny because John has had all these weird things happen with the number 3, and now I have 3 follicles and its our 3rd IUI- so maybe its a sign.
They always say 3rd time is the charm lets hope this is it!

Here we go again!

Well after recovering from my lap, which was so easy! Here we are again, cycle day 1- and we are starting IUI #3- I have my day 3 appt. on Wednesday to get my first ultrasound to make sure everything looks good, get my blood drawn and start my medicine. I am excited, as much as I hate being on this rollar coaster I am ready to get going and get pregnant already! We have been on a 2 and a half month break mostly because we didn't want to be going through an IUI cycle during the holidays as well as I wanted to have the lap surgery and we had to take the month off to have the surgery.
So here we go again!

Almost time for IUI #2

I go tomorrow for what I hope is my last ultrasound, hopefully all my follicles will be ready to go and I can trigger tomorrow night and our IUI will be on Wednesday. I am so ready for this to be the winning one! We had dinner with our friends last night, the wife is pregnant and due in like a month. It was so hard! They had asked us to meet them at their house, becasue they wanted to show us the finished nursery. Thank god John said, no we will just meet you at the restaurant. But the husband was still showing us pictures. I know he's proud of his work, he did a great job with the painting, but come on, you know we are struggling to have kids, WHY would you do that. Its like grinding salt into the wounds. I just kept saying, its really cute, I mean what else was I going to say? John and I both feel that they stole our nursery idea, pink and brown, and thats why they are making a big deal about it. Oh well, there are lots of pink and brown nursery's, it a very popular color sceme right now. I dont care about that, but its like, yes you did a good job, now SHUT UP!!!

IUI #1 we are a go for launch!

I had my day 3 appt today with our fertility specialist. I had my blood drawn, yet again! I swear they are vampires over there! No, the blood really doesn't bother me, I have had so much drawn, one tube is nothing! I also had an ultrasound, which shows how my follicles are growing so they can see how my eggs are developing. Everything looked good and I was told to start my injections of Follistim. Follistim is an overpriced drug (and I am not kidding, its way expensive) that causes your body to make more follicles, therefore producing more eggs. So the more eggs there are the more targets the sperm has.
Shots don't bother me, its such a small needle, but I had myself so psyched up for the shot that I made myself sick, I literally had a stomach ache after I left the doctors office. But after about an hour I felt fine.

So, I go back to the doctor on Friday for another ultrasound. to see how my follicles are growing, I will keep you updated!
