TTC2.0

Well, I've definitely been slacking in the blogging department. I'll have to do a whole "where are we now" post, but for now... TTC2.0! Our first IUI was a bust. I forgot how awful it feels to get a BFN. Especially since EVERYTHING seemed to be perfect. I had a follicle of 22 and a 15. My lining was 7.7. Although low, it's the highest it's ever been for me. Sperm count was great as well. That was our last vial that we purchased when trying to get pregnant the first time. LUCKILY, although our donor is retired, there are still over 100 vials available and only for sibling births. So, onto IUI #2! Today is CD11 of IUI#2 and things are already different. Here are some comparisons:

IUI#1
CD4-Baseline ultrasound showed 10 follicles on the left, 8 follicles on the right. Thyroid levels came back elevated at 4.04. They were fine the month before.
CD11-3 Follicles at 18, 13, 13. Lining at 5.5 Thyroid levels still high. prescribed synthroid
CD12-4 Follicles at 22, 15, 13. Lining at 7.7---Triggered that night E2 was 413
CD14-Total motile 28.5 million lots of cramping afterwards. I definitely ovulated right after the IUI
CD25-11dpo. It was New Year's Day so we tested hoping to start the year right! BFN

IUI#2 so far
CD4-12 follicles on the right, 6 on the left. Thyroid levels came back at 1.24!
CD11-Today... All follicles about 10 or under. Looks like 3 main ones so far. lining at 5.5. The only good thing about this is that my lining still has time to grow. Have to go back on Thursday! E2 was 47.6
Hoping for a Saturday IUI. That would be lovely. Even Sunday would be fine too. This cycle, I've been drinking Red Raspberry Leaf tea to thicken my lining. My lining is SO thin! It was 6 when I had my son though! If this cycle doesn't work, we're probably taking a break for a bit because we really don't want a november-january baby.

I'll try to keep this updated as we go through TTC2.0!
