I woke up just before 3 AM feeling like my right ovary was a bowling ball about to explode. UGH! I actually had to get up and take something in order to get back to sleep. (Yes, I only took Tylenol, which is no comparison to DP's meds that I *REALLY* felt the need to take.) I did manage to get back to sleep.
Oh, and by the way, do you think I can blame the bowling ball ovary for the 1.2 pound weight gain this morning? (Friday is my weigh-in morning.) I feel like my ovary was so huge that it could have weighed 5 pounds, so maybe I really did lose and it just wasn't showing. (That's my story and I'm sticking to it!)
You're probably saying...Just tell me about the IUI already! Well, as painful as it was, the doctor WAS able to push through the blockage. She did have to end up clamping the cervix open again, which caused some bleeding this time. But at least she was able to get through. She had to bend the wired catheter at almost a 90 degree angle, which of course she showed me right after I went trough all of this and I probably did not need to see the blood all over it, since I was queazy from the pain. But I'm okay. Still cramping some, but at least it's over. She said that there was good clear mucous around my cervix, so she was happy about the timing. Also, she said there was TONS of really great swimmers in the sample. She was definitely impressed with it. (MW 38, in case you're wondering.)
I don't know. It's really hard for me to have much hope on these cycles anymore. I just can't seem to believe that this last one would be any different than those that came before. I've made peace with the fact that it's likely I won't have any more children and it's okay.
I'm terrified to go on the progesterone she gave me (just to pull out all the stops) because I'm afraid the side effects will make me get my hopes up. I don't want to feel pregnant and have a late period if I'm NOT.
Well, that's where I am now. DP leaves tomorrow to go to Louisiana for a week, so I will be trying to keep busy during this last TWW. We'll see!

Good luck my dear!
Glad to hear she got through! I was thinking about ya! I'm crossing everything I got for ya hon!
Ouch! Were you able to have anything for pain? This IUI coming up for me has my anxiety going crazy even though I know I'm supposed to be relaxing.... Anyway good luck! I'll be thinking of you guys...
Good luck!!!!
Wishing all of the best!! I SO hope this is it for you. Please know that we are sending all of our babydust to you for this cycle. Thanks for all of the prayers and concern. It is really appreciated. By the way - our mommyvan's name is Ruby - because it's Ruby Red!!
I am keeping my fingers crossed for you. Remember that tt only takes one of those strong swimmers! I'm sending you any residual luck I may have left over!
Well I came across your blog and wanted to say 'hi' and good luck to you. My blog is http://babybevans.blogspot.com
Thanks for the info! My RE is very wishy-washy and he doesn't like MW or NW for that matter...he gave me a whole ear full of it Friday too...its too much to go into here, but lets just say he won't sign off for MW- only CCB or Fairfax or one that is some national tissue association something or another..but I wish he would since I've been hearing good things about counts. If NW counts aren't good this time then we won't be going through them anymore anyway...it'd be nice to get that deposit back and apply it elsewhere...Thanks for the info again!!!!
Glad they got through the blockage. Sorry about the pain.
Good luck!!! Hoping for a BFP for you!
Stopping by to check on you. I hope all is well.
I'm so glad they were able to get through!!! Yay..how exciting! Ok, YOU don't get your hopes up, I'll just get mine up for you! ;) ::fingers crossed::
Wow, sorry to hear IUI was so painful this time. OUCH! Try to relax, although I know that's next to impossible!! :) So T is going to LA and you & Butterfly aren't going with her?? Bummer!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you though and praying this is the ONE!!! :) If nothing else, you'll have plenty of time for blogging and chatting while T is gone! :) Hang in there...
Shari~
Sorry to hear about the pain...but what is that saying "No pain, no gain..."
Okay, you can tell me to shut up!
Sending you all the sticky baby dust I can spare! I sure hope this brings excellent results!
I'm glad that she got through and sorry it was so painful. Hopefully the cramping is a good ovulation sign. And yes the weight gain could be from all this. That's my story anyways. I think the one month I did an injectible cycle I gained 8 pounds in 2 days. I'll be sending lots of positive thoughts for you that this is it. Oh and I think I used MW 38 for my IVF also. I'd have to go look to be sure but I think that's the one.
