Sorry it's been so long since I updated! Well last cycle was a bust. I wasn't too surprised and took it pretty well. 2 days after my beta AF showed up so that was nice since I didn't have to wait too long to get things going again. I went in last Friday for my baseline check and thankfully I didn't have any cysts! It's weird to just be able to start the next cycle right away. I'm so used to delays and forced breaks that it's nice to just keep moving along. The plan is the same for this cycle. Bravelle, Ovidrel, IUI #5, progesterone. Tomorrow is my first follie check after taking Bravelle for 3 nights. Hopefully I have some growing:) Fingers crossed that things go smoothly this cycle.
After getting a negative Beta I was talking to (emailing) a friend about it all and how I just don't understand why this hasn't worked yet. She suggested looking into starting Metformin and possibly doing lap surgery to see if there's anything wrong with my ute or tubes that didn't show up on the HSG. My doctor didn't prescribe metformin initially because I'm not insulin resistant and I responded to clomid. But, since I haven't gotten pregnant yet, I brought it up with him to see if it was worth trying now. He said that it doesn't hurt anything to try so I'm going to see if it does anything. I just want to feel like I'm doing everything possible. I'm not looking forward to the nasty side effects but I'm hoping to lose some weight! As for the lap surgery, I think its a good idea and hate the unknown but at this point J and I aren't willing to have a break cycle for it. We have 2 IUI's left for this year before we switch insurance plans next year. If either of these last 2 IUI's don't work, we'll discuss doing the lap with RE during December since we can't do any treatments that month anyway. Hopefully we won't need to go there though:)
I'll try to be better about updating. September was a crazy busy month for us though. I'm LOVING this fall weather and am looking forward to the Halloween festivities planned... though it will be kid filled which may turn out to be tough to handle if I get BFN this cycle (if I have IUI when I think I will, I'll get beta right around Halloween). Hopefully I'll have great news though!
