The ultrasound showed I had a few follicles that were average size. I was told to hold off a day for my shot and then come in for IUI on Friday. Nothing different than before. The nurse that did it says she has been on a hot streak lately so here is holding out hope!!! I did sit down with the business office before I left and again, if no cysts after this round I can still complete my 6th and final round of IUI and get into invitro by September. It is going to be tight, but I can do it. However, if it is too tight and they think it would be better to wait until November, I will certainly do it. It costs a lot of money to do this an I want the best possible chance of a successful outcome! The reason it will be close is due to the fact that they require a certain amount of time on birth control BEFORE you start any of IVF medications to help get the eggs to be of good quality.
Okay, so I am going to switch it up a bit, a couple non IUI/Infertility related topics.....This past Saturday my BFF got married. I can't even describe how beautiful the wedding was and to see them so in love was beyond words. I had and absolute blast and the wedding was absolutely amazing. A HUGE congrats to Ian and Em!!!
Brian is officially back to working as an electrician! It is still hard for me to believe even though he has been going to work! This is amazing as he has been laid off for 2.5 years. He is working at a data center out in Chanhassen and doing the evening/night shift. Working that shift gets him a better chance of getting notice for quality work (which means hopefully not getting laid off when and if the time comes) and a substantial increase in the hourly wage! It will be an adjustment, especially for him, but he is excited to be back out.
One of my really close friends got engaged after dating for 10 years. I am beyond words for how happy I am for them. She give so much of her herself and deserves all this happiness that is coming her way. Can't wait to see what she wants to do with her wedding!
Lastly, if anything has come from this blog, besides a relief to get my feelings out, I was contacted by a childhood friend who had read this blog and then proceeded to tell me she has been silently suffering with infertility. Well, the other day we met for ice cream after about 15 years of not seeing each other. It was amazing how natural this was, like we have been close all of these years. It was so amazing to see her and now that we know we live so close, I hope we can continue this friendship!
