I haven't been updating much because it's been very quiet here. We are not cycling again until February, at least. In the meantime, I have been advised to start taking 75 mg of DHEA daily, for the next 60 days. This is the same DHEA that bodybuilders use, but I don't know why they use it! In my case, it is supposed to help grow follicles. It is a bit of a controversial supplement when used for fertility. Not too many research studies have been done on it. But my RE tells me that he's done case studies on it and in 50% of those cases, it has worked. We always have the odds of a coin toss it seems.
We will most likely be on the same protocol as last time (antagonist) using the same meds; if anything, at a higher dosage. With this information, I have been able to begin my quest to accumulate as many donated drugs as possible before we begin. So far I have gotten 2 girls to donate 1650 ius of follistim. I will most likely need about 4500 units, so this is a start. It's about $700 per 900 units, so every donation is a huge help.
Merry Christmas & here's to some good luck in 2010!
So in love...

still spotting...
It only stopped for a few hours and now it is just getting heavier and closer in color to red. I am losing hope quickly. I wish Friday would just get here already.

10 dpiui
It's now 10 days since my IUI. I went for my weekly acupuncture this morning. While I was lying on the table, I got the weirdest cramp in my belly. After I was done with my treatment, I went to pee and I noticed I started spotting, bright pink. It is definitely too early to be my period. I am hoping the meds didn't mess up my cycle. I am secretly hoping this is just blood from my baby implanting itself. The spotting has stopped, so we'll see if it comes back. I know it means nothing...people bleed all the time at this point in their cycle, pregnant or not. But I think I would rather NOT be spotting. It just makes me a little nervous.
