So after a few years of trying naturally to have a child and one trip to an RE who I hated I finally broke down and went to the RE my cousin told me to go to from day one. First appointment was in Nov of 2010 and went great. The doc was very nice (Unlike the last RE i went to) and told me things looked good for me to go ahead with an IUI schedule. I was informed to call day 1 when the witch arrived and we would start a round a clomid and schedule an HSG (to make sure my tubes were not blocked) and do ultrasounds day 12 and go from there.
So the witch arrived Early (normal cycle is 32-34 days, this one was 27 days!) on 11/20/10. I call the RE office and inform them of my day one date. They schedule all the tests for me and make sure I got the clomid and ovidrel injection in the mail (which I did). The RE suggests I continue taking the metformin they prescribed (this was making me sick to my stomach) but told me the choice was mine. I decided to suck it up and deal with the waves on nausea and take it. Heck if it could help why not!
Days 3-7 (11/22/10 - 11/26/10) I had to take Clomid 100 mg Daily.
12/1/10 (day 12) and I go in for my Ultrasound. They find 5 follicles measuring @ 8-10. Told me I was clear to go for my HSG later today and to come back on the 4th for another ultrasound.
12/1/10 HSG done, tubes are clear and everthing looks good
12/4/10 Ultrasound found 1 follicle measuring @ 16.5 - RE Office instructed me to do my ovidrel injections tomorrow night at 9 pm to trigger ovulation.
12/5/10 Ovidrel Injection x 2 done at 9 pm
12/7/10 - IUI day. Hubby went in at 7 am for his "donation" than I went in at 9 am for the IUI. Nurse said things looked great and noted he had 75 % - 22 million count. She told me I didnt have to tell him that as it would go to his head haha. I did tell him and his reponse was he has super soldiers - LOL
Now the 2 week wait begins, at least im leaving on a 7 day cruise from 12/11/10 - 12/18/10 to take my mind off things. Took a preggo test with me on the cruise but it came out negative. It was early though.
Took a home preggo test on the 19th and saw a faint faint line. Redid it on the 20th and same faint line...what the heck!
Went to lunch with my cousin (who might I add is preggo) and she told me to just get the digital test so I dont have to figure out lines. Ok did that - went home tried it out and BINGO says Im pregnant!!!
Called the RE office the next morning (it was closed by the time I got home from work) and they had me go in for my first Beta blood draw. Nurse said she would call me by 430 pm and if I didnt hear from them to call them. So I waited and waited and waited and at 430 the phone rings. Its the nurse. Congrats she says, your pregnant!
So me being the nurse I am I ask for the levels! Beta # 1 - 51 / progesterone 15 (14 days post IUI). Those are normal numbers.
Go for my beta # 2 on 12/27/10 (longer wait due to XMas and offices closed). Number needs to go up for things to be good. So here is praying my number is high on Monday!!!
