Cycle Day 8!
Today is CD 8! I am pretty excited because I am hoping this will be it! Same prayer different month but this month is different. We are doing IUI if everything goes as planned. Of course it will depend on a lot of things. First will be my mid cycle scan. Because of only having a functioning right side I need to take med to make both sides ovulate. This brings us to another problem. Because my uterus is only half the size as a normal uterus the chances of multiples is much more dangerous for me. Twins run in my family and the more meds the higher the chance so we have to be very careful. We would have already been to this stage in the game months ago if it were not for this caution. So I am taking clomid again this month and this will be my last month with this med. I have been on it too long and need to move onto injectables. Ok so back to the IUI. Most people don't do IUI with clomid they do it with injectables but my chances of multiples is already increased so we are doing as little as possible to get pregnant. So it was 150mg od Clomid CS 3-7. Now we wait. On Wednesday we go to the RE and I have a mid cycle scan. This will determine if the clomid worked, how many follicles I have, the size of the follicles, which side they are on (we need larger ones on the right side) and if I have any cysts. If all is well they will give me two wonderful vials and a syringe. Chad will have to mix the meds and inject them into my stomach right before I ovulate. This med will absolutely make me ovulate. Then I will go back to the RE when they tell me based on my follicle size. And they will do the IUI. Then we wait again! Until then.....fingers crossed this works this time!
