Then if everyone adds a question we can keep going. I know the IVF and Due in boards are more fun but let's keep our group going. MF is a lifelong journey for most and we need everyone around to help support anyone new that may pop in!

I'll start!

I'm Tkeys.

Cooking, parties, and volunteering gets me in the holiday spirit.

We just had our first IUI today . . . and we had great news! DH responded really well to the vitamins we put him on . . . his count went from 21 million/ml to 76 million/ml, and his motility went from 22% to 31%. That meant we had 5.3 million for the IUI after wash - which is more than double what we had in our test wash 2 months ago. We'll see how this cy goes, and maybe do 1 or 2 more IUIs . . . and then if that doesn't work, we'll move on to IVF.

Hmmm - another question? What is your favorite gift you are giving to DH for the holidays? My DH is OBSESSED with popcorn - eats it every night. I got him some really interesting gourmet popcorns - red, blue, purple and baby white kernels, and a special "rainbow blend." I got him about 30 lbs of popcorn!
