Natural cycle with my RE [Reproductive Endocrinologist], no meds, followed my cycle with bloodwork and ultrasounds.
HCG [human chorionic gonadotropin], referred to as the trigger shot to make sure the egg was released.
Two IUI's [Intrauterine insemination], referred to as Back to Back IUI's.
I did have a great lining that month.
Rested on the couch after both IUI's.
I now have a beautiful boy!!
TODAY'S BOOK SUGGESTION:
A Few Good Eggs: Two Chicks Dish on Overcoming the Insanity of Infertilityby Julie Vargo and Maureen Regan
-- We are bombarded by images of blissful older mothers, such as Madonna and Celine Dion.
But
Hollywoodarticles about pregnancy and fertility at middle age gloss over the tremendous amount of financial, emotional, and physical effort faced by couples struggling to conceive.
Ranges from technical to humorous and everything in between.
What are good, snappy comebacks to the question,
Why aren't you pregnant?What is the difference between gonadotrophin releasing hormone and progesterone? Should you freeze your eggs?
These questions and many more are answered and in the tone of a couple of good friends.
Between them, the authors have gone through hormone treatments, pregnancy losses, and multiple inseminations -- so they know firsthand the roller-coaster ride of trying to achieve pregnancy.
