YAY Jen! sounds like IUI #10 went smoothly despite possible work hurdles! Sending much and all for your perfect #10 success! The swimmers parameters sounded fantastic! About the job sitch... I can honestly say that there is definitely a better job on the horizon for you *someplace* and sometime. I hope it's sooner than later!

Ona, I cannot know about why, but I could guess that perhaps attending the last in the series of adoption classes, makes you think about deciding between adoption vs. IUI method of becoming a mom more? Could that be it? If finances are such that you can only do one or the other, maybe the recent and normal little string of financial needs are bugging you more than usual? My general thing is to get busy, so I think making four costumes and working your butt off, is not such a bad thing at the present?

Susan, I think most RE's recommend a new protocol if 3 of the same ol same ol hasn't done it for you. Clomid is scary to me, personally, from what I've read, esp. as I'm well over 40 already. In general, each woman responds differently to different stims. Sometimes it's hard to know until you try 'em! I responded nearly identically on 100mg of Clomid, as I did on 450 units Gonal F! This cycle I was on Fostimon. I'd not fess up 'bout the Manchester hospital if it would make my life more difficult... but that's me!

For me, mild headache began last night and off and on this a.m. - hope it's not the precursor to AF that I often get. Still having infrequent minor twinges and taking it easy overall. at least one of the embies could stick it out with me!
