Back on the IVF Train

Well it looks like its back to the drawing board. After about 4 comple iui cycles we have not been able to achieve the goal of pregnancy. Due to DH count and mobility it seems ludicrous to move forward and waste time and money with further IUI cycles. Due to this revelation we have decided to move forward with another IVF cycle. We hope we can save up the funds need for the procedure and meds by Sept. We are surviving right now on the bare minimum and hopefully with all this scrimping and saving no surprises will pop up and throw off the budget. Already DH car is acting up, but we are going to take that to my daddy shop and hopefully he will help us out with this one.

I'm Still Here!!

Hello you guys I'm still here and continuing on my journey. So far we or on IUI # 3.. 5 days post IUI actually.. We are praying for a miracle with this one because the sperm count was really low. I produced about 3 eggs with 150 mg clomid and a sperm count of 1.4 mil mobile sperm..

3 days post iui

i had my second complete iui done this past friday as i predicted. the RE said i must have deployed about 3 of my eggs. my hubby's post wash mobile sperm count was only 2.5 million. so our fingers are crossed and we are praying every night for a miricle.

Follie Check up

Soooo today i had my follicle check at day 12 of my cycle after 100 mg of clomid ( two white tabs ) from day 3-7...and i was really excited with the results. i wasn't expect really any growth in my follicles because i wasn't feeling much discomfort and the cramp/gassy feeling i had with my other two clomid cycles. So when my RE inserted the 'Probe" ....;D ... And i saw those dark spots i was really surprised. my first cycle (incomplete) cycle i had about two follies on the right and one on the left..last cycle i had two big and one lil one on the left side and none on the right...So today's scan revealed ( i took down the sizes today) Left side: (1) 13.23mm, (2) 10.80 mm...Right Side (1) 12.22, (2) 16.99, (3) 14.69, (4) 9.79!!!! so I'm really excited and extra hopeful that one of these will be my lil peanut.. y'all pray for me.

It's a bust

This cycle was a bust. I BFN and monster cramps from AF today. My hubby is so depressed I don't know what to do with him. We are going to try again next month but I'm cutting it close with my sick days at work with my vacation to New York coming up. My attendance at work is never usually a problem but this cycling is taking over my life and I'm really hoping my supervisors don't grow too suspicious of my numerous doctors appointments. I think they believe i have cancer or something..I do have a pituitary tumor but that's under control but I'll pull it out of a bag if i have to..... oh well it's back to the drawing board of 100 mg of clomid. Scan on day 12, trigger on day 14 and iui probably on day 16 if it's anything like the last two cycles. Pary for us

3 DAYS POST IUI

TODAY I AM 3 DAYS POST IUI AND 6 DAYS POST TRIGGER. i AND SO IMPATIENT AND STRIVE TO STAY CALM UNTIL WE CAN TEST. I HAVE BEEN TEMPING AND S FAR MY TEMPS HAVE BEEN STEADILY INCREASING AND I REALLY WANT TO TEST NOW EVEN IF IT'S A FALSE POSITIVE JUST TO ONCE SEE THOSE TWO LINES... :((
BUT I'LL WAIT CAUSE I HAVE TO SAVE MY MONEY AND DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY TO WASTE.
I HAVE HAD A FEW SYMPTOMS LIKE BLOTTING, GAS, A FEW CRAMPS AND FREQUENT URI NATIONS.. AND OFF AND ON LOWER BACK PANGS.. WE'LL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE IF THEY ADD UP TO ANYTHING..

I'm back and in effect

Well i have been off my blog and not doing much as far as documenting my journey but i haven't been sleeping on my baby making ya'll.
Just today i was inseminated with a iui... my very first and hopefully i shouldn't need an other for a couple of years.
I ovulated about 3 eggs thanks to God and clomid at 100 mg.
My hubby produced a sample of more than 5 million sperm which my Doctor said was good.
So i will keep you guys posted on my day by day progress as for as symptoms and whatever else.
I'm so excited and so is the hubby .. i think right now he is a lil afraid even to hope for a baby. But the Lord will see us through.
I really like this new doctor. i think i picked a good one this time . i noticed that with the old RE if i had a scan or visit i would never see her. i would only see her at the actual procedure, With this doctor the only person to scan me or treat me was him. and only him i don't know if it is because he is a man or what.... who know. any way ima stay on my knees and pray myself pregnant
