Cycle Day 2: Baseline

Well I got up extra early so I could make it to my appointment by 8:00.  My doctors office is usually only 35 minutes from our house but with traffic in the morning it can take up to an hour. So I was out the door by 7:00, thinking the rain would cause extra traffic, not so much  I made it to the office by 7:40! 

This appointment was just a baseline ultrasound. They check my uterine lining and to make sure my ovaries are clear of cysts. Everything was good and I got the all clear to start a new cycle. 

Fun way to spend Christmas Eve

After the ultrasound I met with a nurse who gave me my new medication schedule:

Cycle Day 3-7: letrozole 2.5mg

Cycle Day 5-6: Gonal-F 50iu

Cycle Day 7-8: Gonal-F 37.5iu

Cycle Day 9: ultrasound follicle check

I'm excited to start this cycle. The doctor is upping my meds this cycle so I will be interested to see how that effects my follicles.

I'll be back soon to update again!

Merry Christmas Eve!!!

XOXO

A New Start

After going through 2 years of infertility I am getting ready to start a new month of trying and have decided to try and keep track of what I (and my husband) are going through on this journey trying to have children.  

So far we have tried for 24 months: 12 unmedicated, 5 with oral medications, 1 with oral and injectable medications, 1 with oral and injectable medications plus an IUI, and have suffered 1 miscarriage.   

Today starts a new month and we will be starting another IUI cycle.  I will be off to the Dr tomorrow morning for my baseline ultrasound and to get my medication calendar.  

Will update tomorrow after my appointment.

Have a great night!

XOXO
