I am already slacking on not posting very often. I have been working a lot though so I will use that as my excuse.
We are slowly approaching the start of our IUI treatments. I'm terrified and excited. I start singing the song Anticpation in my head all the time. Warning a little TMI is coming up. My cycle this time around isn't quite the same as in the past. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not. Normally I always started "spotting" 7-11 days before the start of my next cycle, which was a bad thing. This time there is no "spotting" and AF is scheduled to be here anytime in the next few days. So hopefully she will just show up on schedule and we can move on. We, or most likely just me, will go to the doctor within the first 2 days of my cycle for an ultrasound. I will then be prescribed the clomid like before and take that days 3-7 or 4-8 of my cycle. I will go for another ultrasound around day 11 to see if any eggs are looking like good candidates for becoming a baby. Once it looks like I have at least one good egg I will be given a shot to trigger the release of that egg. Within the next 24 or 48 hours we will do the IUI part of the treatment. That consists of Derick giving a "sample" and that being cleaned, washed, and inserted within the hour of collecting it. After that we wait and see what happens. Gross I know, but it's the easiest and least expensive way at this point. So now I'm sure you understand the terrifying part of this journey.
