Today I got a call from the nurse at our clinic. She met with the Dr to review our chart and said that everything looked fantastic with my investigative cycle!! She said that our Dr has indicated my treatment cycle will consist of Femera 2.5mg to be taken for 5 days, an Ovidrel shot to be taken when advised and Prometrium to be taken 2 days after Ovidrel. How does this sound? A little too aggressive for a 1st-timer??? The nurse said he likes to use some drugs to augment ovulation when using donor sperm because it can get expensive.
So anyway looks like we have the protocol for our first IUI!! Now we just have to figure out when that will be. I'm due to start my period on Monday...so this could all start really soon. We may wait out this month and try IUI#1 next cycle, this would give us a little more time before all the real TTC madness begins.
Is is bad that I'm the one who has been dying for a baby and now that the process may start sooner rather than later I feel like I'm getting cold feet??!! LOL Did this happen to anyone else? I mean I keep thinking what if it happens the first time? What if it doesn't? What if we get preggers with twins? So many what if's!
Anyway thanks for reading!
It can be the shocking reality of it all. We started our process back in March with getting on the wait list for the doctor. The waitlist was about 4 months, when we got in after about 2 I was a little freaked because of the excelleration, but got over that quickly. But in the end, we are still waiting for first IUI as they did find something that needed to be dealt with first, and I'm still on the wait list for that.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to your first IUI whether it be sooner or later.
