So I know she was feeling my pain also. In the same week another neighbor told me she was preg., and this month I recieved 2 baby shower invites! Call me mean but I ripped them both up and threw them out as soon as I opened them! I just can't take it!!! I cry everytime..in private of course, lol! It's okay you will get your this month!! You will be next and hopefully I will be right behind ya! I went my DR. today and have 10 follicles growing. She said only some of them will actually mature, they are in size of 7-10. She said if there are to many, they will suck a few eggs out before insemination. Ahhh, I hate the unknown! Now my Mom was asking me today why we didn't just do a insemination at time of natural ovulation...and I don't know!!!! I just listened to the DR. and didn't question it! I have no fertility problems, do you know why they would have me do the meds and IUI instead of the more natural approuch? Let me know what you think! I love our conversations and your opinion. On another note..stick babies, stick!!!

Maybebaby1:

Regarding the meds for your IUI; I'm not sure of your case, but in mine they have me do meds because I don't ovulate on my own every cycle. Your case could be as simple as your RE wanting to have more control over your cycle. I'm like you too, I don't ask a whole lot of questions, they know what they're doing. At the time of my trigger (Ovidrel) I had one follicle at 18.5 m (which was the dominate) and several smaller ones, measuring 12 m and smaller. All this was on my right and nothing on my left.

I'm trying to stay positive, but honestly it's hard for me to have hope being I only had one dominate follicle and 6 million count after the wash-shame on me for thinking this but I feel if I stay low keel about the whole thing the dissapointment won't be as bad. These 2 weeks are pure torcher! DH and I discussed it again and if this cycle doesn't work next cycle we're doing back-to-back IUI's, meaning one and then coming in the next day for the other. I tried to tell him when we were ordering our sperm that our clinic recommends two back-to-back and he said then he didn't understand and now he does-geeeeees.

What CD are you on now? When is your scheduled IUI? and to you too! I will be curious to see what your count is when you do your IUI. We've used the same bank and I had 6 million after wash. Xytex guarentees 15 million if I'm not mistaken (will do some research) but not sure if they guarentee anything since my center did the wash. Did you order washed or unwashed? We did unwashed because it would have to be washed at the clinic anyway-I didn't want to risk lower quality being double washed.
