Another day, another IUI
Hello friends!!! This past week has been very hectic! We had a great Valentine’s Day! Our home is so close to downtown that we took a nice walk into the city and had brunch at one of our favorite restaurants, Veritable Quandary. As always the food was great! Don had a monte Crisco that had French toast as the bread. I had a sweet potato, red onion and gruyere cheese quiche. It was amazing! It was great to go out to eat. Before dealing with all of these fertility issues we used to go out to eat all the time. Now it is only for a splurge. While we were downtown Don bought me a beautiful dress. I can’t remember the last time I bought an article of clothing so that gift meant a lot.
As you know I once again took Clomid at the beginning of the month to create more follicles. On my ultrasound last week there were 14! Without the Clomid there would have been only one. As usual I took of the ovulation test and it finally turned on Monday, so yesterday we did our last IUI. What made yesterdays IUI so special was that Don had a great sperm count. That has never happened before. Dr. Hessla even said he was optimistic! I was so excited to hear him say that that I even saved the receipt to possible show our future baby. Needless to say, I spent yesterday afternoon and evening on the couch, with my legs in the air, watching “Dexter.”
On a sad note, this week Don lost his grandmother on his father’s side. Although I never met Felice Mitchell I know I would have loved her. She had a passion for shopping, Disneyland and most importantly cats! Please keep Don’s family in your prayers. Don’s Aunt Anna and father, Donald, are devastated by this unexpected loss.
Tonight when I get home I will post the girls Valentine’s Day photos. This year they dressed up as fairies. Their pics are perfect!

Kerry, I'm sorry to hear about Don's grandmother :-( Were they close? Wow, you are going through so many things with your body through this process that being pregnant will be easy for you I think. So, from here I'm guessing you will find out if you are pregnant in a couple of weeks? How does that work to determine if the IUI was successful...do you have an appt set up to do blood work and/or ultrasound or do you just take a home pregnancy test? Also, is this the 5th round and then you start IVF if this time didn't work or do you have more rounds to go? I'm praying for you! Kim
Oh, I just re-read that this is your last IUI. What's the next step from here? How are you feeling about the possibility of fraternal twins or, in general, the actual possibility of pregnancy and a baby? Love you and praying for you. :-)
