After my last post of disappointment that I wasn't pregnant and didn't think we would make the cutoff to do the beginning of cycle sonogram, I called the doctor's office...and I was able to get in to do it last Monday! All looked good, so we repeated the same protocol (100mg of Clomid).
Today I went back for the mid-cycle sonogram, and got more good news. I have a big, 23mm follicle on the right side, and my lining is 9.7mm (it was under 7 last month). So things are looking good -- and we are on for our second IUI this Wednesday! Keeping my fingers crossed that the rest of the week goes smoothly, and less stressful than last time.
It is really good to know that we can move forward this month. I always have the nagging concern in the back of my brain while I'm on the Clomid that my right side won't make big enough follicles, and it will be a wasted month (both in terms of cost and the increasing side effects I'm getting from the medication). I'm also more comfortable knowing the plan is that if the IUIs don't work (meaning we actually get to the insemination, not a failed Clomid cycle), that we will only do 2-3 failed cycles before reassessing options and possibly moving to a new protocol. I was feeling a little aimless and frustrated with the whole process, but definitely feeling better now.
So here we go!
