Kimmy, best wishes for you!!!!

I did acupuncture today and IT WAS AWESOME!! I am still in the "zen" 6 hours later.

I think my IUI will be Mon and Tues next week - well that is my best guess right now.

GRRRRR I went in for an u/s and bloodwork again this morning, and I still have 12 small follicles, only one of which is growing (and not much I might add...it is only at 10) my lining is still thin and my estrogen hasn't moved that much. So at the rate i'm going, I probably won't be having an IUI until August. they increased my Follistim dosage on Sunday and they are keeping me at the 112.5 units until I go back in for my recheck on Saturday. Please that those darn follicles are growing!!!!

Why can't anything just be simple?!

As for the women that were wondering about going alone or with DH to the appts, if my hubby is off, he generally comes with me. He is there for the IUI, as he has to give his sample in the office...and besides, he should be there when our child is conceived (if we ever get there!!!!)

No problem answering! My initial visit was $150 and then $85 per follow-up.

I slept last night - all night. This is a HUGE rarity for me.

Greg's Lady - Ideas for relaxing? I say do only what you love and find pleasure in as long as it contributes to your health and self positively. I am knitting, cooking, practicing yoga, working in my garden and just letting the "stuff" roll off my back. I spent yesterday afternoon laughing with my gfs while our kids played.

irishkelly - YAY! at least you have one! that's all you need!! good luck with the IUI tomorrow... think positive thoughts!

heatherly - that's so nice you did acupunture. i hear good things about it, but does it hurt? i hate the sight of needles, i think i'd faint before they even started, haha.

Good luck to everyone with u/s and b/w coming up and also the IUIs! I go in tomorrow for my cd12 u/s and i'm pretty sure i'll trigger tomorrow.
to everyone IUI'ing soon!
