My 1st IUI journey

October 07, 2008

Well here it is 6:50am and Im Cd1 since AF came this morning.

Im going to share all of my IUI ups and downs w/ everyone on my journey. All the prices and all. LOL! I know that alot of ppl ask how much it is so thats why I will be sharing that also along with my B/W and U/S. Maybe a few pics of my shots too. Not to sure about that tho.. LOL! Don't think anyone wants to see my pudge of a belly. LOL!

Well ladies here I go. I will call the doc @ 9am and let him know that Im CD1 and Im sure that I will go in on Thurs CD3 for B/W and U/S.

Lele.. yes I will be doing Femara CD5-9 and Gonal F injectables from CD9 until the doc tells me to stop. Then I will do the HCG trigger shot to release the eggs.

As soon as AF comes full flow then Im calling the doc. Should be sometime today. She is getting darker.

My RE must charge more here & the meds I have cost more, so maybe that's why your's cost less. Good luck w/ur appt!

October 10, 2008

Update: Had my 1st U/S and B/W... My lining is 5.3mm and I have 13 follicles in each ovary. So now I just wait to see what my B/W has to say. I started my Femara today and in a few days I will start my Gonal F.

Today's bill was $467.00. I thought that it was only going to be $280.00 but boy was I wrong. LOL!

So today is a sad and happy day for me. 1 year mark since the rubal reversal and good news at the docs.
