Went for ultra sound the other day on Wednesday which is D10, I dont know how many follicles there are but from the scan, there are about 3 dominant ones with 2 on one side and 1 on the other. They are about sized 13mm and still not the best ideal size for IUI yet.
The doctor told me she would increase my injectible dose from 75 to 100 for 2 days and I am to go back on Friday for further monitoring on the follicle growth. Well, at least she said the lining growth seems good if i didnt misheard her. If things go well on Friday, she will give me a shot on Sat. No thanks to Sunday of course which means I can only do IUI on Mon instead of the next day after the shot. Seriously, the amount of obstacles I am facing is depressing.
The thing about IUI, you dont really know if there is an egg inside the follicle or if its of viable quality. You will only know if you perform an IVF where they actually can study your egg upclose.
Also, I still dont know if I have a blocked tube or not, so there are so many things hanging over my head.
Realistically, I am not pinning my hope on success on first try. Read too many failures to be optimistic. Not even sure if IUI will still be able to take place this time round either.
Right now, all I can do is eat well, sleep well and pray.
Incidentally, the hormones injectibles seem to make me really tired. I feel like I dont have enough sleep half the time and strangely, I slept better through from morning to the afternoon than nighttime. Wonder if other woman suffer the same side effects. My waistline feels perpetually fat too. It's like water retention that never goes away after the period. Sigh....
Wish me luck tomorrow. Hopefully it will be good news...
