Holy moly, we're on #28 now...

Well, here we are - 2 cycles after starting treatments, we've come to cycle #28.  I honestly thought the first time would work, since there was no indication it wouldn't - good follies, good spermies - but alas, it didn't :( and neither did IUI #2...

My RE decided to increase my dosage this time to 112.5iu of Gon.al F (IUI#1&2 I was on 75iu). Nothing to report yet. I have b/w and u/s on Sunday to see how the follicles are growing and then we'll see when IUI #3 will be.  I hope it will be sometime after Tuesday since DH is out-of-town until then.

Ah, PLEASE Lord make this one work!

#27 in November wasn't great either...

In mid-November we started treatments for our 2nd IUI. We had 3 follicles: two were 14mm, and one was about 11mm (not great), but the RE expected them to grow a little more before the IUI two days after the scan.

The IUI was once again uneventful, quick and easy.  However, I felt different than the first time. During my 2WW I didn't feel anything - no twinges, no queasiness... nothing at all.  After my first IUI, I had lots of symptoms, so I wasn't feeling optimistic this time, but still had a *twinge* of hope.

I decided to POAS on 10dpiui. It was a BFN.

Then AF arrived two days later. I cried just a little and then moved on...

Now we're headed to our 3rd IUI. Our last one for the year.

Fingers and toes are crossed and prayers are lifted up that maybe our Christmas will be greeted with news of a baby, but I'm being cautious with my emotions this time. IF is cruel and suddenly I've noticed that sometimes I stop myself from dreaming...
