Showing posts with the label OI/IUI Cycle #2

Negative

Well, I'm sorry to say the test was negative, both at home and the doctor's office. They didn't even leave me in suspense today and called me by 10 AM. We'll try again once AF shows up. I'm really feeling frustrated today. Feeling like I can't get a break.

Two Week Wait Already!

Wow! This cycle is going by quickly! My IUI was on Monday afternoon and I just had my ovulation check today. Definately had two eggs from both sides. The RE is so funny. He's very optimistic too. We've been working together for years. He looked at me today after he did the scan and said, "You should be pregnant this month." Love the optimistic doc that he is. We've been swamped and have had other wierd stuff going on. DD got strep throat last Saturday and apparently progressed to scarlet fever. Got her on oral antibiotics straight away and the doctor said she just needed to be quarentined for 24 hours. So we went to a Phillies baseball game on Saturday as we were all going stir crazy. Saturday we got to watch a lot of movies and played games like Uno. BTW, for those keeping an eye on dates, my next pregnancy test is 4/28/08. That'll be 13 DPO at that point, so I may take a home test that morning before I go in.

AF showed up on Saturday afternoon, which meant Sunday was really CD1, according to my doctor's rules. I went in for a baseline ultrasound and bloodwork on Tuesday morning and the needles commenced that evening. I go back for u/s and bw tomorrow (Friday). Tom's going to be out of town Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, so we're hoping we can hold off on IUI until Thursday. Please everyone keep your fingers crossed for me on that one. I usually go early, so it's looking like it's doable and I let the doctor's office know. We'll see how that goes. We also discussed that we'll do another back-to-back IUI cycle, so there's two days in a row we'll be doing IUI. I kind of like the idea, making sure the odds are really good. That's really all I'm fighting here are the odds. Let's make them ...
