The stars have aligned

When I got pregnant with Lillian my cycle was as follows:
Cycle started: May 4, 2010
Triggered: May 15, 2010
IUI: May 17, 2010
BFP: May 30, 2010

This cycle:
Cycle Started: May 3, 2012
Triggered: May 15, 2012
IUI: May 17, 2012
BFP: May 30, 2012

Isn't that the craziest thing ever?! I just realized that the two cycles lined up so much when I was looking back at my old chart for something today. I can't believe they mirror each other to the date (almost). Crazy.

I had my Beta done today. It was 200 at 14DPO. With Lillian I was 226 @ 15DPO. I go back in two weeks for a U/S, B/W and visit with the dr. I can't wait. I'm OOP with my RE still because he doesn't take my insurance so I opted not to get the second beta drawn. But I may have one of my family members who is a Dr order me one to get done this weekend just for peace of mind. I'm so excited, but still so nervous.

Tick Tock

I'm sitting here 8DPO, not feeling anything one way or the other.... I hate all this waiting! To catch you all up, I took the estrogen and my lining increased pretty quickly. I triggered Tuesday May 15th and had IUI #2 on May 17th. This is the same month I got PG with Lillian in 2010 so I am hoping its my luck cycle. Keep you fingers crossed for me!

Something new and different

Went for a monitoring appt this morning and my lining looks a little thin (6.5, they like it around 7). Never had that happen before. I forgot to take my dexamethasone Saturday and Sunday, so I hope that didn't cause the issue!  So I am going to take some estrogen tonight and go back in the morning for another check. Assuming that I'm going to trigger tomorrow with IUI on Wednesday afternoon or Thursday morning... we'll see!

IUI #2

So luckily my body decided to cooperate and AF started on Thursday. I was a little disappointed because I had hoped I'd be one of those lucky people who gets KU on their "off" cycle. Alas, that wasn't the case. So I went in for CD3 monitoring on Saturday. I had a large cyst on the left ovary, ando the nurse said it would depend on my blood work if I could cycle or not. After a stressful few hours, the nurse called with the good news that the RE had given me the go ahead. However he wanted me to wait to take my clomid on CD5, instead of 4 like usually. So I started today which means I have some hot flashes in my not so distant future. Good news is I'm traveling so my poor husband and slaughter don't have to deal with the AC being cranked down!!! This is the cycle I got pregnant with Lillian two years ago. I've got everything crossed that this is my lucky cycle again this year. Say a little prayer for me!

IUI #1 = FAIL

TO add insult to injury, I had the worst period ever. Like seriously horrible. Thank you clomid and endo. I would have ended up needing IUI #2 next weekend when we'll be out of town, so we're taking a cycle break. Boo. I'm a little nervous things aren't going to work out for next cycle because of a work trip I have planned that could prevent CD3 testing. Not sure what my doctor will do. Trying not to get too stressed about it until I know it's a reality.

Half way there

1 week down, 1 week to go. Sometimes I feel "something", sometimes I think I'm making it up in my head!! Why does the 2ww have to be sooooo long!!!

IUI #1 is a go...

So things are underway here in TTC#2 land. I had a 17 & 15 on the left ovary and a 15 & 14 on the right ovary during Friday morning's appointment. I will be taking my HCG trigger tonight at midnight and doing the IUI Monday at 1pm. I just realized I haven't been taking prenatal vitamins so I'm going to run to the store this afternoon. Its crazy how quickly this is all happening. I'm excited but of course trying not to get my hopes up in case its a long road like last time.

Keep your fingers crossed for me!
