IUI Completed

I ordered my HCG and Kevin gave me the shot on Sunday morning. I wasn't the best patient and it took a couple minutes for me to let him do it. Good to know that Kevin is really good at giving injections. We went in on Monday morning and it took a couple hours, but they were able to successful do the IUI. IT didn't really hurt, just a little uncomfortable. We were supposed to have 2 IUIs done on back to back days, however when they did the ultrasound, they found I had already ovulated, so it would have been pointless to go back on Tuesday. So now we are in the middle of a big waiting game. hopefully those little swimmers found the egg and in about another week we get two lines on the pee stick!

Day 13

So I made it through the Clomid, or so I thought. I had no idea that the symptoms would not show up until after I took my last dosage. I have had a couple of hot flashes, mostly at night. But this week, I definitely felt that my emotions were not my own. Hopefully I have that under control. I did go to the doctor today and it looks like we are ready for our first IUI on Monday! I do have to take a shot of HCG on Sunday morning so I'm not looking forward to that. Anyone who knows me knows that I do not do well with needles. Thank God Kevin is great with this sort of thing!

Clomid Day 1

So last night was the first night of Clomid. I had virtually no symptoms today. YAY! I'm a little nervous that they will all of a sudden come out of nowhere. I'm just thankful we are able to move forward with the fertility drugs and get things moving.

New Beginnings

I know it sounds cliche, but I'm excited for this new beginning! Yesterday was the beginning of a new cycle for me. I called the doctor and they are all set for me to come in tomorrow for some blood work and start me on some drugs. I'm kind of nervous and excited all at the same time.
