The plan was to do the IUI procedure either the end of this week or the beginning of next. I made my work schedule according to plan, and was prepared for that. Well, looks like my body had other plans! I went to my check up this morning to check on my follicles. Sadly, one of my follicles disappeared like last time, but my other one grew faster than they had expected. They want the follicle at 18 mm. Last Wednesday, they were 6 mm and 7 mm, and they usually grow about 1 mm a day. If that were the case, it would have only been 11-12 mm today. Nope...18! My nurse says to me, "Did you bring your HCG with you today?" Well no, I wasn't planning on triggering today. She told me we were going to have to do the IUI tomorrow and I needed to get my trigger shot asap. I went home, picked up my medicine, went back to the doctor, and she gave me my shot. I will go back in tomorrow at 8 am to do the IUI.
As I said before, one of my follicles disappeared, just like last time. I know they say that it is normal, and isn't a bad thing, but I still was sad to hear that. The one follicle gave me a better chance at success. It gave me a little more hope this whole thing could possibly work. As she was doing my ultrasound, I looked and looked for the little black circle. Nothing. So she was like, "Hmm, maybe it's just hiding!" Nope, not there. Sarah (my nurse) reminded me that it was completely normal for one to disappear, and that all it takes is one to get that baby. I just have to keep reminding myself that now.
I'm not quite sure why, but I am feeling nervous this time around. I was nervous last time, but it feels different. I don't at all want to be a Debbie Downer, but if it didn't work last time, why would it work this time? I keep asking myself that, but yet I am still going ahead with it, so I must believe it could happen.
Kyhle's birthday is April 22, and I've got a HUGE surprise planned for him that whole weekend. It would be totally awesome if we could have some good news for an even better surprise.
