Warning: Miscarriage Mentioned… I woke up a bit earlier than usual at 10 days past IUI. I was determined not to test early this time but something changed this morning. I grabbed a test from beside my bed and ran to the bathroom where I took the test. I was so hoping it would be…

Infertility: The Cost (IUI Treatment Three)
Note: These blog posts are a bit behind and this pregnancy ended in a miscarriage. The cost incurred during infertility treatments is massive. The cost here is for one treatment, just one and this pales in comparison to the cost of IVF. Keep in mind this is just 50% of the total cost as thankfully,…
Infertility: Insemination (IUI Treatment Three)
Note: These blog posts are a bit behind and this pregnancy ended in a miscarriage. I felt much more at ease this time despite everything we have on our plate right now. I think it is because I have so much more on my mind that I don’t really have the time to worry about…
Infertility: Trigger Shot (IUI Treatment Three)
Note: These blog posts are a bit behind and this pregnancy ended in a miscarriage. I feel like this time around we were a little less nervous. As we have done it once before we kind of new what to expect although with anything you don’t do regularly, it did require a little refresher. We…
Infertility: Monitoring Ultrasound (IUI Treatment Three)
I scheduled my ultrasound during my lunch time since that was the only time I could get away from work. Jon and I decided that although we would love to have him there, that he didn’t need to come to this appointment, nothing too exciting was expected, so it wasn’t necessary for him to try…
Infertility: Clomid Recap – 100mg (IUI Treatment Three)
As much as I tried to get the doctor to up the dose of the clomid in hopes of more follicles I was told no as I responded well the last two times on this medication. So it was back to 100mg from cycle day 5 – 9. I took it mid day, around 1pm. …
Infertility: Baseline Ultrasound (IUI Treatment Three)
Our baseline ultrasound was scheduled for Friday. Luckily we had already taken the day off to celebrate our anniversary and my birthday so things worked out perfectly. We headed down to Downey and encountered no major issues, thankfully. LA traffic can be very unpredictable. After sitting in the office for about fifteen minutes watching all…
Infertility: IUI Treatment One vs Two

Here it goes… Weight 36 pounds heavier than current weight 36 pounds lighter than previous weight Menstrual Cycle IUI One: Brought on by Provera IUI Two: Came naturally Clomid (100mg both…
Infertility: Decisions, Decisions…
This year began full steam ahead and has continued with the same momentum. If anything, I think time is progressing even quicker. I mean it’s already March! Can you believe it? Anyway, time isn’t stopping and this year is going to fly by with or without us, so it was time to make some decisions…
Infertility: Real and Raw
Note: This was written right after our second failed IUI. I debated as to whether or not I should post this, but this is what infertility is and I wanted to be honest, real and raw. I am okay, and I will get through this, in fact I am feeling much better now, than I…
