I'm on cd7. 50mg clomid has been affecting my mood this time...I'm feel wired, speedy. Glad to be done with clomid after today. I start estradiol tomorrow.
Had a great fertility massage last week and acupuncture this week. It felt good to tell the doctor about the process so far. Scheduled for acupuncture right before and a few days after insemination.
We are doing 2 inseminations this cycle. Probably next th/f or f/sat.
What's up with you, Lily? Last I read you were waiting for af...are you mid cycle now?
Hey CJ - AF only just arrived, so my cycle has begun, finally! Because it's IVF, and i'm doing a long down regulation protocol, it's going to be 6 weeks until I'm (hopefully) retrieving the eggs. So more waiting, which is the boring part.
I'm glad everything's going well for you - I hope the acupuncture really makes a difference for you this time.
So glad to hear that you are doing well, Becky! It's nice that you have such a good attitude about the morning sickness. What else is going on for you?
And I'm interested to hear more about your IVP protocol, Lily. How did you decide to try IVF after doing one IUI cycle?
We are into our 2nd IUI cycle! U/S on Wednesday showed 4 big follies--3 that were 2.5 cms each on the left side and 1 that was 3.2 cms on the right. Lining much better this time.
So we did an IUI yesterday afternoon and another this morning. This morning the U/S showed that I hadn't ovulated yet, which seems weird bc it was 40 hours past ovidrel trigger. And my belly has felt--and still feels--bloated and uncomfortable for the past 2 days since trigger shot. So I'm not feeling as optimistic this time as last month. But I am going to continue going to acupuncture, taking vitamins, etc. And I'm starting progesterone on Sunday--just in case!
CJ- I would TOTALLY feel optimistic if I were you. Four big follies means four good chances. With the trigger shot last time - at 36 hours I still didn't ovulate, but they said I would in the few hours following. I'd keep my hopes up - especially if you're doing acupuncture and the prog. Why have you chosen to double inseminate? Good luck to you. I have another week or so before I go in for IUI #4....
We just found this bulletin board and conversation on 12126 - we are curious if anyone had any luck with this donor!?! We did and think it'd be nice to keep in touch with our child's half siblings.

Hope you're both doing well!
