IUI round two...ding ding ding.

We went in for the folly-check on Tuesday. 3 very mature follicles on the left, one possibly mature and one puny follicle on the right. 26mm, 25mm, 24mm, 17mm, and 12mm. Also, her LH was on the rise, meaning she was starting to ovulate. KB gave herself the triggershot that afternoon. Yesterday morning, she went in for IUI #1 of this month. Counts were good, 52 million at 69% post-thaw! It took 3 people to get it in her though! Apparently KB has a "crooked cervix" and if we ever have to go the IVF route, she will have to have her cervix dilated surgically every time they implant embryo's, because the poor little things are too fragile for KB's twisty cervix...so that was not fun information from the RE, and let's hope we never have to go that route!

IUI #2 of the cycle was this morning...also good counts: 50 million at 62% post-thaw. This time, the catheter slipped right in...who would have thought!

So we are back in the tww. This is the last tww in Chicago. And the last for at least a few months. I am still hopeful...but I am much less optimistic than in the past. I feel like my optimisim decreases with every month we get a BFN. Although, the good news, is that every month, we are one step closer and conditions are that much better...increasing in aggressiveness and in accuracy...that makes me feel better. Onward and Upward...towards the goal (I hope this is what the swimmers are also thinking!)...
