I got the news on my birthday - October 5 - not pregnant. My husband took me to dinner at Millennium - yum! I decided to walk from our house, a brisk 45 minute walk. I felt really good. Then I started spotting during our first course. The saving grace was I was able to order a glass of wine in time for our main.
Back to Kaiser last Wednesday to see if I could start another round. Four large cysts this time, so I have to wait a month. I did not feel them this time. My body is sometimes such a mystery.
I had been hopeful this time because I had tolerated the fertility medication a lot better - no night sweats, and am used to the slight burn of the injected meds. I started with 4 follicles on the left ovary, 1 on the right. And, I had 4 mature follicles when I got my HCG trigger shot - one at 21, and 3 at 18. But it's all about probabilities, I guess. Ivan said that the chance of getting pregnant with IUI is 10-15%, lower stats than I had seen on the internet. He suggested we do one more round of IUI, equivalent of a year's worth of mature follicles, then think about IVF.
