IUI - part 2

I'm awful at keeping up with how things are going more frequently. My thoughts haven't been super positive lately, so it's a good thing that I'm slacking. ;-)

So, our IUI was a failure. The first blood test, my HCG levels were high, signalling that the IUI had taken. I went back 2 Days later and my numbers hadn't doubled, which means that my body actually didn't take the IUI and it did not result in a pregnancy.

I couldn't help myself reaching that highest of highs when I found out that I was "pregnant", only to reach the lowst of lows when I found out 2 days later that it wasn't true. Whether my body ended the pregnancy, or whether it never really happened doesn't matter. Neither thought helped me or R to move past this tragis loss.

We have rested in the peace and love give only by our Saviour. That's it. Nothing else helped us remain as peaceful and strong as we have.

New RE / 1st IUI

We finally made a decision, after several months, to establish ourselves with a new RE who also practices north of our area.

I feel much more comfortable with Dr. J, and am thankful that I have options.

I started injections a few weeks ago in preparation for our 1st IUI. Today, I go back to see how many eggs I'm producing. I'm hopeful, but also being very realistic.
