Just getting started

Hello everyone,

My name is Molly and I am currently undergoing all the fun involved with prepping for my first IUI, which I am guessing will be Friday am.

My husband was dx with Ewings Sarcoma back in July of 2005, at which time he was advised to store sperm, due to the drugs that he would be receiving having a good chance of making him infertile.

Fast forward to present, DH has been in remission since August of 2006 We were married in September of 2007, I went of BCP in December of 2007.

We tried TTC naturally until August, when we had DH tested. They found no sperm. So, we began the process of finding out what we would need to do get ready for the IUI process.

Because of the limited amount of sperm that is frozen, RE wanted to be sure that all was A-OK with me before proceeding. I had an HSG a few weeks ago, which showed no blockages and no potential problems with me. The b/w has all been normal.

We are trying this first time with my natural cycle.

I have a follie measuring 16.5 as of today, CD 20 (my cycles average 40 days). I suspect that I will be triggering with Ovidrel tonight, as the follie has only grown by .5 in the last 24 hours.

This will mean that I will have my first IUI procedure on Friday morning.

I am a bit nervous, as the HSG was extremely painful for me. I am hoping that the IUI will be a piece of cake compared to that!

I look forward to chatting with you all and tapping into your knowledge of all of this. It can be a bit overwhelming at times. Best of luck to everyone for a
