Day 1 finally came, right on schedule. I took the full 21 days of femcon, and my cycle started about 2 days after I completed the meds. I went in for my baseline ultrasound and bloodwork, and everything looked great! So, we began the clomid on day 3-7 (100mg/day). On day 9 I took an FSH injection (Follistem pen) at 150iu. Day 11 I went in for a monitoring bloodwork and ultrasound check-in. The doctor told me that while he could see some follicles, there weren't enough nor were they large enough. So, back to the follistem. The doc told me to take it for 3 more days - but only at 75iu each day. Today is the third day, and tomorrow morning I go back in for bloodwork and ultrasound. IF everything looks good (ie., the follicles are large and plentiful), then I will take a "trigger" shot (to release the eggs), and my IUI will be scheduled.
On glitch is that G has to go out of town Tuesday (until Friday) and they IUI could possibly be on Wednesday. So we're talking about using a frozen sample, or trying to manipulate the meds so that I can push back my IUI. I'm not excited about the fact that I may have to conceive our child while G is away, but I am less excited about abandoning all of this work and cancelling this cycle. I don't want to put my body through anything more than it has to go through. I have serious mixed feelings through.
Update tomorrow!
