Update: I am currently on the Clo. I have a monitoring appointment this coming Monday and will (hopefully) trigger sometime thereafter. We will also be doing IUI #1 this cycle. I'm constantly anxious.
QOTW: My favorite book of all time is White Oleander. I love many books, though, and tend to lean toward memoirs.

QOTW: My favorite book of all time is White Oleander. I love many books, though, and tend to lean toward memoirs.
Update: Finally moving on to IUI #2. Started Femara today, go back for monitoring next week to see if we will add in injects or not. The RE seemed optimistic, DH and I are really hoping that we'll have a better chance with the polyp gone.
QOTW: I don't have a favorite author, it used to be Kurt Vonnegut but my tastes have changed a little. I recently read The Glass Castle and LOVED it. I also really loved The Red Tent.
Sunday was CD 1. I went for new patient blood work yesterday and will have mock transfer next Monday for Natural Cycle IVF next cycle. We'll sign consents and do all the insurance business as well. After that we just wait for next cycle.
Update: DH is finally ready to do an IUI!!! Yay! There has been some drama with my REs office this week and this cycle is out due to more testing that my insurance company wants that's not done yet, but we should be good to go in September!
I don't really read much, but I really liked the Hunger Games series.

Update: Before I had my lap, the plan was to start Clomid this cycle. The nurse practitioner told me to call when I started my period. When I did that earlier this week, I was told I would need to speak to my RE before starting Clomid, and he is out of town this week. So, I'm hoping I'll have more answers after my post-op appointment on Tuesday (7/31). I'm not sure why the plan has changed, and it has me a little worried to be honest. Hopefully, they are just being cautious.
Favorite Book: The Shack (an oldie but a goodie, IMO)

Hi ladies. I'm almost positive we'll be moving on to IUI #2. I started spotting yesterday, and today's 12dpiui. I guess I'm still waiting for the fat lady to sing, but the spotting is almost always the beginning of the end.
QOTW: Hard to pick a favorite book, but I'm really enjoying the Game of Thrones series right now.
I had another monitoring appointment today, CD 15. I have one follicle measuring 17.5, but my lining was looking a little thin. They want me to come in for another u/s tomorrow just to be absolutely postive that everything is a go since it is my first round of clomid. I will most likely trigger tomorrow night.
I don't really have a favorite author. I will read anything and everything!
