TTC #3

The first month we had 3 follicles and we were SURE it was going to be successful. Since then I've realized that a lot of people feel the same way the first time they try, regardless of how it's done. Well, needless to say, it didn't work and we were crushed.

Last month, we only had one follicle, and I was pretty sure it was NOT going to work, quite a flip of emotion from the first try but it was definitely less disappointing when it came time to get the phone call saying it was a negative.

So, now we're on round three. I had the first IUI today and will have the second one tomorrow, then we'll be playing the waiting game for two weeks. Unfortunately it looks like, even though we've added additional fertility drugs this time, we may still only have one follicle. The doctor was hoping for 2 but the second one shrunk between yesterday's ultrasound and todays so that's a bummer. We'll know for sure tomorrow if one or two eggs were release but it sounds pretty sure it will only have been one.

I don't know why but I've had it in my head that it was going to work the third time around. I'm not sure I feel as optimistic about it now that we're actually in the middle of the third try, especially with the bummer news about the one follicle, but who knows? Maybe the third time will be the lucky one!
