Our Journey With IUI

I know there are a variety of people who read this blog. We have been trying for so long now to get pregnant. After months of debating and much thought, we have decided to do a round of IUI. There is a 25-30% chance this will work. I know that is not very much. I am hoping for the best and preparing for the worse. It probably seems a little TMI that I am sharing this information, and it probably is, but I want anyone who is having fertility issues to be able to share in this experience, and see what others are doing to achieve their dream.

On day 14 a visit to my RE. I have a few follicles that have grown to 16mm. Doc said that the older you get the longer they take to grow. He said mine are growing about 1.4 mm a day. We scheduled IUI for May 18th.
May 15th Follistem 25 iu and estrogen 2 x a day
May 16th Ovidrel trigger shot, estrogen 2 x a day
May 17th Estrogen, 2 x a day
May 18th....IUI

I am hoping I have atleast 1 follicle at 20 mm. According to his prediction by tomorrow I should have atleast one follicle at atleast a 19. Over 20 is a good ovulation.
