Default Starting IUI #2

After being stuck on a cycle of bcps because of cysts, I'm officially done with bcps, and AF is here! I'm off to IUI #2, assuming the cysts are gone (I have an u/s on Sunday, so wish me luck!).

Thanks for checking back in with me! U/S went well . . . I'm cyst-free, and started my injections last night. I'm doing 91 units of Follistim, then go back for another u/s on CD 7 (Thursday). I guess we'll see how I'm responding then. How is your 2ww going?

91 is such a strange number. Oh well, I'm sure they do it for a reason. Good luck Thursday.

The wait is always hard. This time around I have decided not to allow negative thinking take over. The last many months kind of wore me down to where I had no hope. It is no fun living like that so I am going to act as if I am pregnant now and try to realize that I can deal with disappointment without giving up. Besides, if I have my way, there will be no disappointment this time. I am hoping that a change in mindset will make the next 2 weeks better. Thanks for asking.

Thanks! The 91 units is because I'm using a Follistim pen this time . . . it has dosages in 8 unit increments between each of the "25" dosage units. I did 75 last time, and the dr. didn't get the response he wanted right off. They are afraid of over-stimming me because I have PCOS. I stimmed a bit too fast with the 112.5 (1 vial + 1/2 vial). So, he wanted to do more than the 75, but less than the 112.5, and he figured the 91 would be a good amount. I don't ask questions . . . I just go along for the ride!
