Update...

Ovarian Ultrasound—

The results are in—I have 4 follicles! Three on the Left and one on the Right. Follicle sizes are:

Right side: 15

Left Side: 20, 21, 14

The doctor said she expects the 15 to be an 18 on the day of the IUI and maybe the 14 to make it too! My personal goal was to have at least two—one of each side because I figured that would increase our chances if we had an egg in each fallopian tube.

Our second IUI is scheduled for this Saturday January 31^st at 9:30 am!! Super excited!! This could be it!!

Other News:

Blood work— I am still waiting for all the results of my blood work. So far the only thing found is I am deficient in Vitamin D but just by a little. Carolyn, at Natural Choices, says what I am currently taking is enough to supplement this. She is still very interested in seeing the complete results.

In-laws—it was moving day for the in-laws over the weekend. It wasn’t as bad as I thought, but moving is never fun. Now, all most a week later, we have them settled in with just a few more finishing touches needed. I got the main rooms decorated, complete with area rugs and the wife got the blinds, smoke detectors and C2O meter hung. It’s been exhausting but it’s all coming together very well! 

The Future is so bright I have to wear shades!

After a mini melt down about hair loss—yea I have those every now and then! I decided to get a blood test, a full work up! I talked to Carolyn that runs the natural foods in town, I have been working with her over the years on a more natural approach to my health, and she suggested a few more in depth test for my thyroid. 

Off to the doctor I went with the list in hand and because I have an amazing Family Doctor he listened to all my concerns. Not only did he order the test I had listed he also order a few more. He wants to get the complete picture of my health since we are trying for a baby.  

I am super excited to get a complete picture of my health! Finally I will have answers and better yet, solutions to make me feel 100% again!

On the same morning I talked to my Baby Doctor and we have a new plan. (Have I mentioned how I love plans?) We are going to do a scan to insure a mature egg a few days before ovulation and better monitor my ovulation. 

So our next IUI will give us an even higher chance of success!!

 –We are so excited—

Things are off to a great start this week and it’s only Tuesday!!
