How many IUIs will your RE have Irina do before he converts to IVF?

Isn't the love you have for your lil one so amazing? I swear, I could survive on my boy.

it's really up to us how many IUIs we want, but we did 7 IUIs with me and wasted too much time & $$$...
this time, we will do one more IUI (2nd) this month and move on to IVF in June/July.

I had one large follicle on the right - too big to be anything, probably an old cyst - and that's all on that side. I had a 10, a 7, and a 6 on the left and a few smaller ones. I came home and compared my notes from my last cycle when I got PG with LP (yes, I am that anal and I keep track of EVERYTHING), and I had about double the amount last time. Ugh - but nothing I can do about it now but sit and wait for the call and pray that everything will be ok.

Thanks again, Chicas. Oh, and Kelly - stalk away, lol! I love a good stalking - just ask Megsc and C.

Megsc - I think it is the blowup pool in the front yard with the nakey baby frolicking away and the mud pit in the back yard that is attracting Jake - he can see how down to earth y'all really are.

he saw that C's but is better than Jessica's.

Ok, got the call - my levels today were 189. I am to continue my Menopur, 3 tonight and 3 in the morning, and go back down tomorrow morning for another check.

Today is CD 6. Here comes the obsessive compulsive part of me ~ last time on CD 5 my levels were 172 and we had 3 good follies on the left and 2 good on the right, plus a few smaller ones scattered throughout. On CD 6 last time, my levels were 340 and it appears they found another follie on my right that they had missed the day before.

Ok, no more talk about last time as this time is not last time, it is this time, and I cannot expect everything to be a carbon copy because that would just be, well, weird. lol

xoxo

sounds like you are just a day behind this time around... you will catch up
DP is a slow responder, so this time around she started her stims 2 days earlier (don't tell our RE)...
