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 number one - update
Well I am nearing the end of the dreaded tww...today I am 10 dpiui...and I plan to test tomorrow morning, and every morning after that until a)- I get my BFP, or b) - AF shows up.
I have some symptoms, but I really don't know if they are al due to the progesterone or not...but I have certainly had waives of nausea here and there (could be from the Metformin too). My boobs are a little sore - nothing crazy though, and I have had some mild cramping on and off, again nothing crazy. I can't judge my CM because of the progesterone...so yeah - that's what I got. Oh and this aft I have a slight headache, but nothing serious.

Femara Round 2
So AF reared her ugly head yesterday morning, turning CD 29 into CD1 for me.
I knew she was coming....but I hate her anyways!
So, here we go, on to round 2 of Femara. Same protocol. I will take 5mg from CD 3-7. My Metformin dose is at 1500 mg daily now. I am waiting for the RE clinic to call me back to book an ultrasound for CD 11, and then book IUI after that.
Maybe the IUI will be our ticket! Hopefully! With every passing month I feel older and older, and am really starting to question the fairness of all of this. As in, the older I get, is it fair to bring another child into this world who may not have me around to help them out later on in life. I guess I just am so close with my Mom, that I can not imagine not having her around. Anyway, deep thoughts.

So I am CD9 today and really not too much has been going on. A few little boughts of nausea over the last couple of days, usually in the morning when I was hungry - maybe from the increased dose of Metformin?
Last month on CD 9 I have some slight pain in my L ovary, this month, nothing so far. I hope this isn't a bad sign. I have slight pain in my boobs...that's about it. I am still having slight spotting, which sucks after 9 days!!! I go for a follie scan on CD11, this Wednesday and we will do IUI. If we are on target with last month, Saturday morning will likely be the scheduled IUI. It all depends what happens on Wednesday.
DH is not looking forward to making love to a cup in a medical building lol!! Poor guy eh? I don't look forward to the plethora of pills that make me sick, the repeated invasive tests, shooting myself with needles in the stomach, getting a naturopath to stick me full of needles in the name of Chinese medicine, and peeing all over my hands trying to pee on a gadgillion GD sticks!!!! End vent. Yes, I imagine it must really suck to masturbate in a public building. Poor fella.
Oh, did I mention I am slightly cranky today?
