After a nice dinner out last night with my husband, sister and her family, I came home and decided to take an ovulation test because I had been feeling pains in ovary area. This is what popped up
I am usually super excited to see a positive opk, but wasn't last night. I called the after hours number and my RE called me back within ten minutes. So I explained the situation to him and he then said to go ahead do my trigger and come in at 7:00 am this morning for sperm sample and 9:00 am for iui. After getting off the phone, I sat down with Al and we discussed all of our options. We came to the conclusion to cancel this iui. The timing was bad and with iui, timing is everything. We couldn't justify spending the money on it after the early + test. So after 925 IU of liquid gold (Follistim) we are just going to do some good ole fashion timed intercourse. I could get upset about this cycle, but really what is the point? It won't change the outcome.
A positive about yesterday is, with my new and improved outlook on my reproductive journey, I had two of the yummiest margaritas ever at dinner! I can't believe what a huge difference it makes when you can actually have things that you missed so much for so long. Dinner was fantastic and we had great company.

All and all it has been a good weekend. I also woke up this morning to snow. Our weather said we are suppose to have three snow storms this week. So far they have been on point ( which totally shocks me ).
How was your weekend?
Love those bibs! I think you guys made a smart decision on the TI versus IUI. Save your money and get the most bang for your buck (pun sort of intended). I'm still wishing you tons of luck with this cycle though!
ReplyDeleteI was so glad that I wasn't eating crab and sporting the bibs. They were really fun though!
DeleteWouldn't it be the neatest thing for you to get pregnant without the IUI? I am believing big things for you!!

It would be pretty nice indeed :)
DeleteHoping for the best friend!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI'm sorry the timing for this IUI was off, but it is so great to see you enjoying yourself! I still am hoping good things can still come with this cycle :)
ReplyDeleteThanks :) I know great things are in store for me with or without getting pregnant :)
DeleteHoping you made a baby the old fashioned way. Fingers crossed for you!
ReplyDeleteHaha thanks Lilee! It has happened to us before :)
DeleteHow freeing that you can brush this off as just alittle frustrating. Good for you for making your own decisions. I also would not have gone through many of our iuis had I been charting like you. But that is all in the past and I to have adopted a Much more relaxed approach to our next go round. That margarita sounded heavenly! Keep enjoying life!
