About Me

I am 36 years old (37 now)(38 now)(49 now!), single, and want to become a mother. I had my ideal of marriage, house, baby, happiness. Well, life teaches you that nothing is certain and we all need to forge our own path. This is mine. UPDATE: and baby girl makes family :) And now baby boy makes bigger family!

Appointment Confirmed

I did it~~! I called the RE office today and scheduled the start to my first IUI for next month.  I need to go in and get the baseline ultrasound and take the medication class one week prior to a cycle.  So, we have it scheduled for Monday September 12 @ 3pm.  Perfect timing because I am taking that day off--will be flying back in town from Boston after seeing mi amigos. Yippee Kay Yay! 

For the medications, I am taking Letrozole, then a trigger shot, then some kind of suppository (TMI, sorry).  I am doing this medicated because my body doesn't work normally and I do not ovulate. This is due to the PCOS.  So I take the Letrozole on cycle days 3-7, then trigger so my ovary will bust out an egg, then IUI, then other.  I read in another blog Letrozole can be explained as miracle grow for my eggs.  There is an increased risk of multiples, but that's the risk I have to take if I want to move forward w/ this.

Things are a movin!
