#iui-d

It’s been a hot minute. My last update was the “No IUI baby for me.”

Well, my clinic referred me on to IVF/ICSI treatment in October and the same day I got an appointment for the pre-exams in January 2019.

I spent a few weeks sulking, before I started up with the dietrician again in November.

I’ve now been to the pre-exams for IVF/ICSI and Inwas SO nervous about how much weight they wanted me to loose before I could start. And here comes the most awesome news! I was excepting something along the lines of 15-25kg weight loss. But the doctor only wanted me to loose 4,8kg (by my scales) / 6,8kg (by the clinic’s scales)!!

I went home, focused more on my diet and getting moving daily. And in a week I’ve lost 1,9kg!

I’m sticking to a strict low-kcal diet and a minimum of 5.000 steps daily, though I’m above that step-count most days!

Last chance until late summer/early fall.

2 eggs and 21million spermatozoe/cc

At this point in my cycle I’m usually spotting. So far no spotting.

My breasts are sore, but that does happen sometimes so it’s not a very telling sign for me.

Still...

Clomid CD3-CD7

It happened this morning. As always the expansion of the speculum is the worst part for me. The doctor needed to grab onto my cervix with some forceps to get up into it, but that didn’t phase me.

Good sperm sample from one of the donors they had on hand (if it doesn’t work I’ll get a ginger donor later on, I have 6 tries). Great uterine lining, lots of ovulation discharge.
