On Saturday, I took an ovulation test and this beautiful smile came out on the screen. The next day we did our third IUI and baby danced thereafter.....
I am sometimes in awe of how much one can put themselves in "hope." I'm putting all my hopes and dreams in this third IUI. I really hope that the third time is a charm and in two weeks I'll see another happy face.
Last night, I watched the premiere episode of Guiliani and Rancic's reality show, Season 3. I cried the entire time as she was going through the shots because I understood her hopes and fears. It truly is a hard thing to go through. You put your body through so much and top of that, you put all of your hopes and dreams in this whole trying to conceive the science way.
I cried when I they announced they were pregnant on their first IVF try with twins! But, I was so sad to find out later online that she had a miscarriage at 9 weeks.
What a difference a different doctor can make. Oh, I just wished that the headmaster of the clinic was the person doing all my IUI's. Heck, I wished that he did the first one because he surely is awesome!
This morning Mr. Dubyah and I went in for our third IUI. Yesterday, the headmaster scanned my uterus and found 1 mature follicle at 23mm and two on the left ovary measuring at 16mm each. He gave me the ovidrel shot to help with the maturation of the 16's and ovulation and guess what, this morning, he scanned me a second time to make sure that the eggs ruptured! Am I shocked? Heck yes.
The last two IUI's, the rookie, didn't scan me; he just did the insemination. In fact, the headmaster wanted to scan me not only to ensure that the eggs ruptured but to see if we needed a second insemination. WTF?
I've always wondered why the rookie didn't scan me the second time to take a look and see if the eggs ruptured or not. It just made sense to scan me. But, being passive aggressive coupled with the fact that I want to entrust that he knows what he's doing, I didn't pose the question whatsoever.
So, today, when he scanned me, all three follicles ruptured which means there are three eggs awaiting for Mr. Dubyah's sperm. Run, sperm, run!
What I also like about the headmaster is that he explains everything without you even inquiring. I love that! It's like he contemplates every question and knows when to answer them.
Here's to hoping third time is a charm!
I am so hating my body today. But, I knew I should have waited. I guess I got all "cocky" knowing that I always show a positive on Day 13 of my cycle. But when the kits showed negative, not once but twice this am, I got nervous. Like, desperate, oh shit, nervous!
I tend to show a positive surge on the ovulation kits later in the morning, like around 1100-12pm'ish. But, nooo, stupid me, had to test twice before that time frame and give the clinic a call telling them that I did not see a positive surge. So now, I'm stuck with an appointment to see them tomorrow morning at 0815 despite me telling them that I show a positive later in the morning. The RN said something that I could take so many and that it creates a false positive? Say What? Whatevers. I'm just going with it. Maybe it could be a good thing. Like, the timing of it all can be perfect, right?
Let's just hope for the best. I'm so anxious right now. I keep looking at the ovulation kit that I just took and it screams ovulating. Ok, Ok, it's maybe not screaming, but it's certainly "informing" me.
I know this is a horrible picture of the kit and you can vaguely see the line. I'm not going crazy! Really, I see it.
Well, here's to IUI#3 tomorrow. Please God, let this be the cycle we get pregnant. Please!!!
