IUI

I got the OK to try to get pregnant this month either by IUI or intercourse. I am excited but nervous. My husband and I decided to that since it has taken so long to get pregnant before, it may be better to try IUI this time. However, after going over my medical records last night (i don't know why I had the need to go over my medical history) but I realized that I may have a blood disorder that may have been the reason why I have had the miscarraiges. I will call my doctor on Monday to consult with him and ask to get one more blood work-up just to be sure, because I will "nut up" if God forbid I have another m/c.

Cystic Rupture

Last night I had severe cramping. It was the familiar cramping I get every once in a while. I went to see my doctor today. He said it looks like the 2 folicles he saw on Monday ruptured and there was free fluid in my abdomen. He also suggested that I may have had mild ovarian torsion where my ovary had twisted on itself. He also said my lining was 10 (day 16) and he said that was good. I still have to go on tues to get another progesterone level.
I am not going to know what to do with myself once I get pregnant. It will be the miracle of miracles.

New beginnings

So I have decided to start my blog over since I feel like I am starting over. I am just going to journal about my experiences/ plan of action from my RE.
After almost 3 years of trying to start a family and 2 miscarraiges, we finally have been referred to an RE. Since my last miscarraige (June 2008) I started seeing my new doctor. So far we have had karyotyping for my husband and I. Both were normal. I had a HSG--normal. By the way, it hurt like a mother... And I am sure it didn't help that I was so nervous that they would say I had an abnormal uterus or something. Now he is "monitoring" my cycle to be sure that my hormones are normal.
I started this cycle on 10/23, took clomid on days 3-7, had u/s on day 12. I had 2 good follicles on my right ovary and smaller ones around it and on my right. Endometrium lining was ~7. Estrogen measured to be 978 (good); LH 10 (low); OPK- I had 2 lines, but the test line was light. OPK on 11/4, still light. OPK on 11/5 REALLY faint, but I could still see something. I went back for another draw and LH was 14 and progesterone was 1.25. It seems that I possibly ovulated yesterday. I have to go back for another progesterone check on Tuesday morning.
I really am hoping everything is fine so that we may try next month. A BFP would definitely be an awesome Christmas present. Crossing my fingers and praying all the time....
