I know I’ve been a crappy blogger. I’m in a funk and well, sometimes I just dont feel like writing about it.
Work is ok- very very busy but at least I have some activity- and I’m not crying as much -LOL (Who knew one day I would chalk that up as a positive)
Me and hubby went on a much needed caribbean vacation where I just laid on the beach and read. Vacation was not without drama however as the hotel we booked (last min) was horrible and we ended up switching. Still not a refund on my credit card…. but thats another blog that I will save for you 
Got my period the last day on the trip and had to go to Dr. L’s for 3 day blood work the day after we came home. I’m in for an IUI with injectables this month. Took 100IUs (Follistim) from day 3-7 – blood was drawn on day 3 (with ultrasound) and then again on day 7. Today is day 9. Went in this am for blood and ultrasound. I had 3 smallish follicles on the right all measuring 12 and under and on the left I had one 21 and 1 13. They gave me the hcg shot and we go in tomorrow for IUI. I’m kind of dissapointed. I feel like I responded better on clomid (at least I had 2 at 19) and was expecting at least more than that with the follistim. I asked the nurse and she said its not the best results and Dr. L will take a look and decide what to do next as far as either upping the dose or going to IVF. thoughts anyone?
Im sad. I hate when I get in this funk. I’m moody. Hubby and I are NOT being sweet to eachother and most of it is cause I’m so cranky. I just feel kind of beat up. EVERYONE is pregnant around me and I feel so helpless right now.
I guess wish me luck- I know it only takes one follicle but still- I mean WTF??
It does only take one follicle babe, so try and stay positive. Hard when you’re in a funk I know.
I think sometimes we get caught up in the “numbers” of it all too much and forget about what can happen!
I’m keeping everything crossed for you.

I had more follicles on the clomid but it thinned my lining too much. On injectibles I got a BFP with only one mature follicle so don’t lose hope! Welcome back. Thinking great thoughts for this cycle!
Hang in there. Look after yourself in these tough times. I’m jealous that you were able to get away on a Caribbean vacation! Hope you guys enjoyed yourselves. Let us know how the IUI goes.
You think you’re a crappy blogger? I’d take the Craptastic Blogger of the Year Award if there was such a thing!
Hey, this stuff isn’t easy and sometimes we just don’t feel like talking about it. That’s perfectly okay.
Regarding your response to the meds, it may just be that they have to start you with a higher dose to recruit more follicles and then taper it off. I still have a lot of hope that this is the one for you, though. Hang in there.
Pepper’s got a point–I usually started on 150-125 and then they cut me way back as my ovaries went crazy. It also sounds like you got a lead follicle who was stealing all the juice–does your RE have an idea how the next cycle could avoid that?
It sucks to be disappointed in this game. Royally. But it ain’t over ’til it’s over…Good luck!
I’m thinking about you friend. It really is a tough haul. Sending big hugs and luck your way.
PS Thanks for commenting on my last post. You’re support means a lot to me.
Take care sweet one.
