Doctor's visit 7/25/11

I got my ultrasound and there were a few follicles that were growing but not quite "big enough" So because I got the positive OPK he wants us to BD (baby dance for all non-TTCers) tonight just to be safe. I have another ultrasound scheduled for 1015 on Thursday and depending on that ultrasound is where the plan changes a bit. If the follicle has grown "big enough" (he'd like to see 20 mm) we will do the HCG trigger shot and then an IUI on Saturday. If the follicles have decreased, we will be a progesterone blood draw to verify ovulation and then wait to see if I get a BFP. If they've grown, but not enough I assume we scrap the cycle, but not sure as I don't want to think those negative thoughts. I did manage to lose about a pound and a half since June 14th, so that was really awesome news too. It was a mixed apppointment, but nothing bad so I still have hope.

New Hope

I feel like we kind of have an answer as to why I'm not pregnant after a year even with 11 normal cycles. We have about 99% of a plan set, still unsure about the last part. I have my next ultrasound Monday July 25th and I will decide from there. Either way I am on clomid days 3-7 and estrogen (to thicken my lining) days 8-12. At the ultrasound I will likely be given an HCG shot and at that time I decide if I want to do things the normal way or choose an IUI. I never wanted interventions, but my doc says its my best bet. Even with the IUI, I still only have a 21% chance at finally getting my BFP. That's pretty much it for now, hopefully good news in the 25th!! Baby dust to all my fellow TTCers!!
