4th Ultrasound and blood work

I came in today and Dr. Anderson was back from vacation. He looked at my chart and came in my room and said "well, it looks like you won't be having twins" commenting on my 1 and only follicle growing. He said I was ready for an IUI because the 1 was grew a lot just overnight. So the nurse gave me the HCG shot and sent me on my way.

Failed IUI round 4

I didn't even come on this blog all last cycle because I'm just getting depressed writing over and over again that things are working. I know someday I will get pregnant again because we will do anything we can and even go into adoption when the time is right, but for down I am really bummed out.
Here's just a recap of our 4th IUI with injectables:
I love love love doing the injectables over taking clomid. I didn't have any side effects and it was more pleasant. I ovulated a lot earlier than any time before and we did the IUI on days CD 10, & 11. Back to back IUI's with great numbers too...everything was looking great! I had 2 follicles, one on each side and they were measuring well over 21mm. In every way possible, again I thought this was the one. I was sending good vibes to everyone and doing seriously ALL I COULD. and maybe that is just it.
This time my Dr had me start progesterone suppositories every morning and every night. They go right up your yang yag. It is not so pleasant at all, but this help keeps the uterus lining strong and not shed (bleed). Therefor I knew no matter what I would go in on Friday, Dec. 13 to do blood work.
I went in this morning and had to bring my daughter with me, which was very quick and easy as they took my blood. I asked her if I could switch to the progesterone oil shots because I liked them better and my insurance still covers that. The nurse was so nice to call it in to the pharmacy. Then later that afternoon, one of my favorite nurses had to call and give me the news I did not want to hear. I was so bummed and still am. She told me my progesterone was not back down to zero so it would be a few days before my period would actually come back.
oh the joys of infertility. Thank you for all your love and support, we will get through this, but I'm sure this next round being over Christmas and New Years I may not do much blogging.

HCG shot

I was actually so nervous going in the office today because I thought I had already ovulated and it would screw things up. But come to find out I had better news!
I went into the Ultrasound and to my surprise we checked the right side first and happy to see that little small follicle that I had no hope for was mature and could possible release an egg in there during ovulation. Then, we checked the left side and the 2 follicles that we have been watching where nice and plump. Ready and mature to *hopefully* release and egg in there.
I was very happy to hear about this.
Then I went into the room to have the nurse give me the HCG shot. Everything else went as planned and I came home to rest up for the big days ahead.

HCG shot

written on 9-10-13

I went in again this morning to do another ultrasound. Since having Brinley the whole office got TV's mounted on the wall to be able to watch everything going on with the ultrasound comfy laying down on the bed. So I love going in and  seeing the progress. 

Dr. Anderson was their today and did the ultrasound, he said everything is looking good. They found the 2 follicles that were seen yesterday and did another measurement (1st-23x19, 2nd- 22x20) . They both grow nicely and went over the 20mm that they hope for. So he said we were all ready for the trigger shot. 

We went into the other room and the Nurse came in with the hcg shot that will tell my body to ovulate (I've read stuff on timing and I'm not sure so I can't tell you positively what the facts are). Now I rest and wait to go in again tomorrow morning for another ultrasound and 1-2 IUI. Can't Wait!!
