Trouble TTC

AW: Good vibes, please!

I go in for my ultrasound tomorrow morning to see how I'm responding to Follistim and potentially schedule my IUI for this weekend (please say it's so!).  Any good thoughts, vibes, prayers, etc. would be appreciated!  I'm very much hoping I'm in the Goldilocks zone with a handful of good follicles but not over-stimulated to the point where they cancel me.  Thanks y'all!!

    Aw, thanks everyone!  Follies are looking good so far.  I don't have a ton of them which is happy news :) I think I have 4 or 5 that are measureable with the largest being 13 mm.  I gotta keep on taking my Follistim for a couple more days and then I go back in for another ultrasound.  Not sure where my hormone levels are yet... they're calling me with that info later on today.  Anyway, my ovaries are not going crazy so for that I am grateful.  I'll probably have my IUI early next week!  Woo hoo!

    ETA: Words are hard when you wake up at 6 am.

  • @ky29 - acupuncture's going great :) I had an appointment earlier last week and I'll go again the day of IUI.  I like the needles in my back - those feel good.  The ones in the belly I can do without but I imagine they're beneficial since they're closer to where my reproductive bits are located.  I notice a dull cramping when I'm done and get to my car - is that just my imagination or does that happen to you too?
  • Good luck! :)

    Yes, the back is my favorite part too!  I'm a little weird about all the stomach ones, but I just try to get over it and relax (which is the whole point..)

    Can't say I've ever noticed anything when I left, but I might pay attention for that next time.  :)
