2nd time's a charm...?

Hello there folks! So I had my ultrasound last Saturday to see how my ovaries responded to the higher dose of Clomiphene and to my surprise the dr said I was ready for my HCG shot that night and I had my IUI about an hour ago! Can you believe how fast this cycle has gone? Today is only CD 12 so it's crazy to think that we are in the two week wait already! I literally had no time to stew and worry about a thing! I have been more relaxed and keeping myself occupied with music and friends. Thank goodness today is a holiday...perfect timing for the procedure, lots of rest!

I really do think we will have success this time around! My follicle was bigger earlier and I just know we had better timing! Please continue to pray for this little miracle, we really appreciate it! Bless you all!

First IUI...Failed.

I know it's been a couple weeks since my last post so I figured I would drop by and get you all up to speed. I'm sure you can guess what happened since my title says it all! The whole procedure was perfect but I didn't end up pregnant. So the doc gave me a higher dosage of Clomiphene to take and I have to swallow 3 pills at one time.  He's hoping for more than one follicle this time to give us a higher chance of success. So I only have one dose left and then go in for my second ultrasound (of this cycle) to see if my body decided to kick into overdrive. So basically we are back to the drawing board....

I am feeling cynical and moody right now. The hormones are really affecting me this time. I had a moment at work where tears welled up and streamed down my face. I had to catch myself and just relax and breathe. Do I think it will work this round? Yes (I hope). Am I all excited like before? No. I guess I just don't want to put my whole heart into something that may lead to disappointment(again).

If anyone still reads this blog of mine, any words of encouragement will be gladly taken.
