"3rd time + 3 beautiful follicles = the charm!" kate positively thinks

exhale!

so i survived the clomid and was maybe a pinch more emotional than usual but overall uneventful.

today i had my second ultrasound and i have three beautiful follicles and a multi-layered uterus so we are ready to rumble!  my blood test results were all good and my follicles are measuring 21, 19.5, and 17.5!  all of this adds up to a no brainer that tonight is the ovidrel shot and tomorrow i go in for my first IUI (8:30am) followed by the second on saturday (8am).

above you can see two of the three follicles.  the one on the right is the 21 mm sized one and i am not so sure about size of the other but thinking the 17.5.  again, one of these could be the start of my future child.  wow.  mind blowing.

tonight i am heading to a friend's for dinner and little do they know that i will be looking to them to help me with my ovidrel shot.  "hi!  thanks for having me!  here is some bubbly to celebrate my follicles, wine to celebrate this amazing dinner you have prepared, ohh and can you come help me with a little something...."

never a dull moment.

so on the eve of the lucky #3 IUI with 3 lucky follicles rocking out in my uterus and i am feeling really good and calm.  really happy in everything actually.  thinking the increased acupuncture and massages combined with working out and having a month to focus more on being in chicago with my friends has been a really good thing for me.

please keep the positive vibes coming for both my follicles and the little swimmers!  hoping those swimmers are fast and strong and that all of the many steps occur and that we get pregnant this month!  woot to the woot!
