starting meds

So I took my second dose of Femara for the IUI.  We are scheduled to do the IUI next Friday. Yep, seven days from now, I am so nervous.  When I called to find out when to start my meds, I wanted felt like I could throw up when they gave me the details of the IUI. I am nervous, more than nervous, PETRIFIED!  I just think that it might not work and then what?

Also, my basement flooded this week, which really sucks, because it is where our family room/playroom is located.  The hubs had to rip out carpet and paneling.  I have become a little obsessive about chemicals and odors.  I just keep thinking that the water in my basement probably had a ton of pesticides in it that cause cancer, autism, Parkinson's, etc.


Keep me in your thoughts and prayers this week please!!!

So DH and I went to my fertility doc appointment this morning.  We paid a whole lotta money to start the IUI process.  I will start taking the medication as soon as I start my period, which should be in about a week.  DH is very nervous because he says that what if we paid a lot of money and walk away with nothing to show for it.  That will pretty much suck, but what else are we going to do? DH looked queasy when the nurse explained the shots that had to be given in the stomach. So hopefully in a little over a month we will have some good news.  We shall see!

DH had his appointment with the male fertility specialist last thursday.  Overall, his SA (semen analysis) numbers improved from last time.  The specialist concluded that DH could have varicose surgery with the chances to improve conception.  He explained that it would take about 6 months to see any results from the surgery.  He did not think the surgery would help our odds of NOT miscarrying again.  I see my doc next monday, so hopefully we will be able to do IUI within the next couple months. 

The family took a much needed weekend mini-vacation and I recommend that to all!  It was nice not to think about anything for a whole 3 days!
