TTC after 35

MIA and update on cycle

Hi Ladies-I know I have been MIA since last week, for a combo of reasons. One is that I was not thrilled with my follicle growth and I just couldn't bring myself to type it all out. Then this weekend I did have a chance to the beach to spend time on a girls weekend, so I was trying to put it out of my mind. Thanks Fingerscrossed for asking about me last week, I appreciate it and I'm sorry I didn't reply.

Anyway, here is the update for my cycle this month...I ended up with my scan yesterday showing a 16 mm and a 14mm with a few 10mm follicles. 

Because it was CD 12 yesterday and I had the lead follicle which has basically been there since day 1 , they decided to trigger me last night and do another %^*#$#! IUI this morning and tomorrow.  They were afraid they would lose the lead if they waited for the others to catch up.

DH left for his 10 day business trip on Sunday, so we used the frozen sample for him, and they were able to split it into two specimens, so we are fortunately able to do the back to back IUIs. 

It sucks not having him here, but I called him on my way to the office this morning and then from the table when I was lying there right after the IUI, so at least there was that. 

I know that IUI works, but I just don't have a lot of confidence that it will work for me since we have done several of them. But aside from that last negative statement, I am trying to keep a positive mindset and I am sending positive vibes to my belly.  I have acupuncture tonight, and I'll listen to my meditation tonight and tomorrow as well. After that, it's out of my hands and all I can do is pray, which has not really worked thus far, but I'll keep trying.

 

TTC since 3/2010. Me 41, DH-49. After 3 years, 6 IUIs and several IVFs we have finally have our beautiful baby girl, born on 11/7/13.
