Baseline ultrasound was Thursday morning at 7:00 a.m. It was the easiest appointment I've ever had. There wasn't even any bloodwork, which I had been mentally preparing myself for! It was a really welcome surprise.
Today is my last day as an infertile who hasn't taken fertility meds. I start Clomid 50 mg tomorrow night and will take it until Thursday. On the following Monday (the 30th), I will go in for a monitoring appointment. Assuming that I have awesome follicles, which I totally know that I will, I will trigger sometime shortly thereafter and will have IUI #1 on Wednesdayish. That is so soon! And it involves me giving myself a shot! Well, more likely, it involves S giving me a shot and me squealing like a baby.
This cycle has really crept up on us quickly, especially seeing as how I am used to having 90+ day cycles. I don't think I've really had time to wrap my brain around the fact that I could be staring at two pink lines in less than a month. This whole process has been so nerve-racking, but I am on such a high right now. I am visualizing myself having success and staying positive. I truly believe that this will be our cycle!
Oh, and, even though I probably shouldn't have, I calculated our EDD based on O around CD14. It would be April 22, three days before my birthday!! I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but it would be such a blessing. What a wonderful birthday gift!
It would also be totally ironic, because all of our family has told us NOT to have an April or May birthday because of the slew of birthdays around that time. I will take a healthy baby any day, anywhere, during any season at this point, though, so I don't care how expensive that time will be.
I'm just so ready to move on from my RE, move on from this dark place in my life, and find something within myself that gives me the strength to help other women in my current situation. I'm ready to be pregnant. I'm ready to be a mother. This has to be it.
