IUI, Round 2

i got my period on wednesday -- luckily not too long after stopping the hormones. i have enjoyed feeling slightly less nauseated and awful the past couple of days, though drinking coffee (again) was a huge mistake. so sad. anyway, i went to the doctor this morning to get started on the next round of IUI. it was actually the most depressed i've been since getting the negative test result. most of this week i've been able to get myself out of my funk and feel optimistic about the next attempt, but being there this morning in that damn waiting room again with so many of the same people who have been doing all the same stuff as me all along was really a downer. i am really ready for this to be done.

but anyway. they drew blood and did a sonogram and said that my ovaries look fine, other than one of them having a "leftover" follicle that's developed for some reason. the doc said that shouldn't interfere with anything. she told me to start with one injection a day like last cycle and to come back on monday to see how things are progressing. here we go again!
