1 dpiui

It feels weird to write that. Since having Katie my cycles have been about 5 days shorter (33 to 28 days). So when I went in CD4 for the US I already had a follicle. I had a positive opk on CD11 so I went in to a checkup and day early and had a 24mm follie. I also had a 13.5 and 11, but I don't think they really count. IUI was yesterday and post wash counts were low (like 2.5 million). Clearly between low counts, one follie and my age the odds are stacked against us. 

The RE recommended another SA or IVF. I'm not sure if I want to try that right now. We were planning 3-4 IUIs and if they didn't work then we move on and close this chapter. I'm very okay with that. I love our life and if we could just have kids the regular way I would so have more, but I just hate going and having the b/w, vag cam and IUIs now. I guess it's more that I want to be thankful for what we have and not feeling bad about failed cycles, etc. It's all mental. 

I'm going to talk to dr about having a hybrid cycle with clomid + injects to try for two mature follies. I'm hoping the SA will yield better results and yesterday was off (it was done at home rather then in office so I don't know if that affected things). 

But for now I guess I should stay positive until I know I'm out for sure. Maybe it worked. Who knows.
