So, the fertility game still plays on. I thought I would send out an update for those of you who are interested in this particular game.

After two more unsuccessful months with the “clomid break” we went for the meeting to get more information on the IUI process. The first part was very similar to what we have already done; take 150 mg of clomid on days 3-7.  Then the differences started. On day 13 I had a vaginal ultrasound. The ultrasound showed that we had some enlarged follicles on one side, but they weren’t quite as large as we would want. I was pretty disappointed, fearing that this was a sign of a larger problem. My fear was quickly dissipated when the doctor shifted the ultrasound wand and proclaimed.. “Oh Here We Go! That’s what we’re looking for.” I’ve never seen a doctor get so excited about a body part. So, that night we had to take an injection of more baby making mojo. (And when I say we, what I mean is me) 34 hours later, Troy made a deposit at the doctor’s office, so it could be washed. (A process of separating the actual sperm from the rest of the fluid) 2 hours later I came in for my appointment. The whole thing was over and done with in less than 2 minutes.

So now we’re in the wait and see portion of our story. We still had a progesterone level drawn on day 21, and the results were positive. So now we’re waiting for days 28-35 to arrive, so we can test.

The Doctors office wants us to call if we get a positive result so they can have us do a blood test. We’ll do two blood tests a few days apart to make sure that Hgc levels are still doubling.

So how do we fell about all of this? Excited, nervous, hopeful are just a few emotions running through us. We’ve talked about all different kinds of scenarios and plans, but the truth of it is, what ever comes our way, we’ll take it.

Hopefully soon we’ll have some good news to report, and fun pictures to start posting. Until then, we’ll keep our fingers crossed.
