Lucky 4

As scheduled I went in for another sono this morning. I was glad to see my regular ladies there once again. She checked me out and said I have FOUR follicles that could be viable, and a few other smaller that probably wont make it to ovulation. My left side is out doing it self with THREE follicles, a 20, 17.5 and 15. The one follicle on the right is around a 16.5. The three larger look like they should ovulate and to give the 15 a little more time to grow I will be doing my HCG shot late this evening.

My regular nurse said that after looking at my curved entrance to my uterus she doesn't think that the Cytotec or Laminaria will really help anything. She is fairly certain that the 3 Clomid cycles we did since the Cytotec didn't really help then, that it wont now and that it is because of the shape. She feels that nothing is closed off as they originally thought and that if they clamp differently she will be able to straighten out the path and not have to use those other medications.

So the plan is HCG tonight, then bright and early on 12.9.09 I will go in with my specimen at 7:30am. Before I leave my house I am to take 800mg of Ibuprofen to help with pain management. The nurse who noticed the curve to my uterus has said she wants to be the one to do my insemination this time around. She is going to try and use a baby catheter and see if she can get in, if not she will use the regular one with a guide wire and hope that by clamping it differently she will be able to have a straight shot.

I was assured that if she was unable to get all the way in that she would not count this cycle against the number of cycles that we can seek treatment.
