Today...

Today I didn't cry.

That's got to be a good sign, right?

Today was CD 4 and my first baseline scan for my IUI 3. At this point, this will be our last effort with fertility treatments to get pregnant. 

Unless I win the lottery (which I don't play) or somehow find $20,000 laying on the sidewalk, then we're done after this. We will start saving money, either for IVF or for adoption. Since adoption has a better success rate than the 50% success rate of IVF then that may be the direction we walk. 

DH and I have talked at length for the past few days and we're still circling about where the path may lead us. 

But, for today and the next few weeks, I will focus on this cycle and try to search deep and find some hope somewhere amongst my heartache. 

As for my appointment, Dr A and I both want to be aggressive and attempt to get 2-3 follies this time. I will start with 75 IU of Gonal F on cd 6 after I do 5 days of Femara 2.5 mg.
