I enjoy learning new things and I learned two new ones day.
1. At the IUI this morning the nurse said I should be using a progesterone supplement because it increases your chances of getting pregnant. The funny thing is I was going to ask for them to check my progesterone level this month. So I looked up what she said and this is what I found, if you want to read for yourself. https://www.thelaboroflove.com/articles/can-progesterone-cream-increase-my-chances-of-getting-pregnant/
2. After I got to work and was walking past the national shrine of St. Gerard, I got a text from my SIL- she went to church this morning to say a prayer for my hubby and I. Well, once she got there she learned today is the Feast of St. Matthew Now, this may not mean anything to most of you, but my husbands name is Matthew.
I know I'm reaching for straws but I need something to hang on to and I wanted to share.
Re: What I learned today
I am surprised your RE does not prescribe progesterone suppositories or injections to be taken immediately after your IUI. That is standard practice at my RE's office as with many others.
Good luck!
I know right?!? That's why they prescribed it for me. I pick it up tomorrow and start on Thursday morning.

I really hope this works for you!!!
Thank you... I have to tell you though I downloaded this app on my phone today "ghost radar classic" and it tells you the ghosts in the room that what they are saying. Well as I read your message it said "naturally" and then as I was typing this it said Johnson, area, and now sent... I don't hold a lot stock in it but it made me laugh!
