Great to hear from you Nancy!

Hi Nancy,

Sorry I've disappeared lately. It's mainly for a good reason -- I've been trying not to focus on my infertility and it's working! (Not that I don't love talking to all of you -- you girls are the best part of my infertility!)

It sounds like you're very level-headed and have a great plan. That's amazing that your insurance will pay for all the IUIs.

We have had a pretty low key month. I took the 100mg of clomid (after taking 50 for 3 months) and the sono showed that I was bubbling with follicles so I had the HCG shot too. I was able to see a difference on the sono in terms of my follicles being on the 100mg vs. the 50mg I was on. The RE who I saw (partner of my RE) asked me in a joking way "Are you sure you're not taking percanol instead of clomid?" since my ovaries were bursting. I actually felt quite a bit of pain on my ovaries from all the activity. Do you have that too?

We just did our thing on our own, and will continue to do so for the next few months until IVF in July (at least that's the plan for now). I think this is my last month on clomid. Re says he wants my ovaries to rest, especially if I'm gearing up for IVF.

Good luck and please keep me posted!!

Love,
Amy
