TTC #6. CD17, IUI.

Pointless rambling. I'm sitting in the waiting room getting ready for my first IUI. Hubby left his sample and I can literally hear them spinning it in the lab. I don't know how I feel. Whether I'm happy we're doing it or nervous that it won't work. I don't know. I want it to happen so bad, it's terrible. I find myself jealous of every pregnant woman I see and find myself crying over stupid movies like "baby mama" and " what to expect." I got jealous when I watched both of hubby's sisters get pregnant and have babies (I was trying before both of them.) I had a hard time finding the positives while i was hopelessly trying. It got to the point that I was so jealous I'd hardly see them because every time I did I would have an emotional break down. I even started crying at a dinner family event. In front of everyone. But I'm not hopelessly trying anymore. I'm aggressively treating my infertility, and it feels good. It's going to sound bad- but maybe it was meant to be like this, so I could have the spot light on me throughout my pregnancy, and it'd be a bigger deal and more exciting because I've had to go through so much to get pregnant in the first place. Who knows. I hope this works. I want this so bad.

TTC Update #5 - Timeline to my 1st IUI!

I havent updated my Tumblr in a while, mostly because i didnt have anything to update. Now i do.

2011-04/2012. Regular OBGYN had me on 100mg clomid and the metformin - it didnt do anything.

The work up

First visit to the Reproductive Endocrinologist, Dr. Freeman. We spoke about PCOS, Ordered blood work and a blood-glucose test with insulin levels, and ordered an hysterosalpingogram (HSG). Hubby got a semen analysis (all systems GO! 123 million!)

The HSG

The HSG wasnt as bad as i thought it'd be. It hurt putting the catheter in andi didnt even feel the dye go in. My left tube was perfect, my right tube took a few minutes to fill.

The Clomid and the Prednisone

So I ended up on 100mg Clomid CD 3-8, and Prednisone (due to my aDH levels being slightly too high, Dr said it would increase the effectiveness of the Clomid) on CD 2-11. I've gotta say, the medication made me SO sweaty- it was terrible!
