CD 3

Well a brief update last month we decided to do injectables. I started taking 150iui follistims on March 5th. On March 9th I went back for monitoring and had 2 follicles on my right side and 3 on my left measuring around 8 MM each. My lining was great and it seemed to be working. Well, I got the call in the afternoon about my bloodwork, my E2 was low.....very low 36. I was devastated they said it's because of my ovaries/FSH problem. The Dr. tripled my dosage to 450iui and back to monitoring for Saturday March 13th. During those days of stimming I felt complelty bloated, my pants were not fitting right. Saturday came and everthing looked perfect, I had 9 follicles, 4 on my right and 5 on my left. I had one dominating egg measuring 18mm and we got great news on my E2, it was 533....excellent. We went back on Sunday one more time for monitoring and the dominating one was measuring 21mm and my lining was 14mm, perfect. That Sunday I took my last 450iui of follistim at 4pm and the ovidrel shot at 10pm in order to prep for the IUI. Tuesday, March 16th at 8:30 was my first IUI. 23 million post wash sperms, everything looked great. I went back on Wednesday for the second IUI, 5.37 million post wash sperms, not bad. I felt very, very positive about this. March 31st, we found out that it was unsuccessful :(. The Dr. felt positive about trying it at least one more time. After a long talk, we decided to do it and see.

Today CD 3 I went to the dr.'s office for baseline to prep me for my second injectable cycle. So far so good, lining is good and I have tiny follicles forming on each side. I'm starting at 450 iui tonight and I will go back for monitoring on Tuesday, April 6th. I'm praying that this cycle will work.
