IUI Update

Went to the dr for an ultrasound today. My folicals looked great (much better than last month) which means tonight Aaron will give me a shot to make my eggs release. I had 2 ready on my right side. He could not find my left side but wasnt concerned since the right was ready. On Wednesday morning we will go in for the insemination. I am very excited and hopeful this time around. Praying I keep my hopes under control but have a feeling that wont be happening. If this works, based on my iui being Wednesday, my due date would be October 24th. My Dad passed away October 24th 2009. At first I wanted to skip this month, knowing what my due date was, and that with a c-section it would be born the week of pumpkin show. Now I am hopeful this is what happens. I know my Dad is keeping an eye on us and I can not think of a better way to remember his life then to give birth to new life around the same time. So Like I said, its going to be a very emotional month of praying and hoping that this cycle works.

1 year ago in Feb I first heard the words infertile. It has changed my life forever. I have become stronger, determined, and have learned to cherish each day with all my heart. We have been trying to have a baby for 22 months. That is 22 months of getting our hopes up and then being broken to pieces. We are trying to keep our minds busy and on other things, but in our heart, all we want is another baby to rock and love. People tell me, At least you have Ian. I am so greatful for my son and I do not know what I would do without my precious baby boy. However, I am so heartbroken when he tells me he wants a baby brother or sister. Praying that this is the month God grants us our wish and desire.

Here goes round 2

Round 2 is underway! I took 5 days of clomid begining last Saturday. Tomorrow morning I will be going to my specialist for an ultrasound. This will determin how many eggs we have and if they are ready or not. The ultrasound will let us know when Aaron is to give me the shot and then I will go back to the dr 36 hours after the shot to have the iui.

If this round doesn't work, we are asking the dr to see if there is any test we haven't done. I don't want to use up our insurance covered iuis and then find out what is wrong.

We have many things going through our mind and trying to figure out which is best for our lives. Thank you for your continues prayers and support.

Well round one of Iui did not work. Feeling very disheartened by this. so thankful that Aarons insurance covers the treatment so we can move to the next round right away. Will be starting my 5th round of clomid this weekend with iui the end of jan/beg of feb. We have 2 rounds of iui left before we are to meet with my dr to discuss what options we have. Aarons insurance will pay for 6 cycles but most pregnancy results happen in the first 3 months. Thank you for all the positive thoughts and prayers. We feel them daily.
