1 dpiui and planning for next round

Yep, 1 dpiui...and I am already planning for next round if need be.

Let me back up for a sec. We had our iui yesterday, CD 14 for me. DH had his best sample to date and 75.25 million, 95% mobility were inseminated. I told the doc that I had some spotting the night before, as well as prior to the last iui and she prescribed estrace as well as prometrium (instead of Crinone). No bleeding at all today. Anyway, I am in the dreaded tww and plan on testing out the trigger shot. I have a ton of hpt's to use.

And now for the planning part. DH was truly shocked that I didn't get my BFP last iui as it happened our first shot last time. That got me thinking about what was different. I stopped taking the metformin because it made me nauseous, and I stopped taking the DHEA when our cycle was cancelled 2 months ago. So, 3 days ago I started the Met and today I am starting the DHEA. That way it will be in my system if we have to go for round 3.

I did go for acupuncture today, and my ND gave me some literature about how effective DHEA is...and some info on Myo-Isotol and Melanonin.

Anyway, my morning cocktail of pills has grown, and now I have added on the knowing of and swallowing of the pineapple core. Uggh.
And 2 new pills to push up into never never land. Double uggh.

The exhaustive list:
Metformin
Vit. D
Vit E
Folic Acid
baby aspirin
DHEA
Fish Oil
CoQ10
Estrace
Prometrium
Pineapple Core (1-5 dpiui)
red raspberry Leaf tea (for the 2 weeks prior to iui)

IUI Round 2

So here I am, CD 12. I started over this cycle with Femara 5 mg from CD 3-7. I went for a follie scan on CD10, and had 2 on the left (14 & 11) and none on the right. The RE told me to trigger tonight and we will have our IUI on Friday morning (CD14.
I don't know if it's too late to help, but I got back into the red raspberry leaf tea yesterday and am drinking 4 cups a day.
I think this cycle I will eat the pineapple core from 1 to 5 dpiui too.
Anything to help!
