Excited to be a Human Pincushion
On Wednesday I got the go ahead for my IUI cycle. I have to give myself nightly injections until Monday when I go in for another monitoring appointment to see how many follicles there are.
Last night I finally got brave enough to do the injection myself...before I had DH do it. It really isn't that bad. The idea of giving myself a shot is worse than the shot itself.
I'm also excited because I got all the meds(about $3200 in meds) I need for this cycle and a future cyle if I need it for $80. If I waited to get the meds on my new insurance I would have had to pay about $500. Crazy huh?!?
Re: Excited to be a Human Pincushion
Ha! Love the title. Shots suck but I always try to think to myself, "I bet I'll survive". That somehow makes less nerve-wracking.
Crossing my fingers for good news!
I am crossing my fingers and toes SOOOO hard for you sweetie. I hope that this is it and you dont have to go through this anymore. Just out of curiosity...what do they have you on?
I am taking Follistim to get the follicles going and then will take Ovridrel to stimulate ovulation. I will also have to take progesterone after the IUI. Lots of hormones...poor DH because especially from the progesterone I can get a "little" cranky.
The first IUI was kind of a test and I only produced one mature follicle. This time they are doubling the Follistim so hopefully I will have at least 3 mature follicles. There is a risk of overstimming and producing too many follicles in which case they would cancel the IUI. Fortunately they do a lot of monitoring(aka lots of dates with the vag cam) to help prevent that.
My DH is already calling me the next Octomom. Multiples aren't our goal though. I would be over the moon if we had twins. Personally I don't think my body and health could handle carrying twins so I'm praying for just one.
