Change of plans.

Since my new lame RE's office can't do apts this week in the afternoon, I am forced to cancel today's ultrasound and tomorrow's scheduled IUI. BUT FEAR NOT BABY WISHERS!!


I am going to test with my daily ovulation monitor. So far no LH surge. But this is good. Tomorrow my DH and I CANNOT make it to the RE since they are not available after 11am. So as long as I keep monitoring my surge, I should be able to schedule my IUI the next day. (Without an Ultrasound).

Here's the deal: Once I take my test in the AM and get a positive surge, I have approx. 24-36 until I ovulate. So I will call the office and schedule my IUI for the next day (About 24-36 hours later). HOPEFULLY, that will allow the swimmers time to meet up with the egg and fertilize before the egg disintegrates or the sperm kick the bucket.

I'm guessing I will have a surge tomorrow (CD14) or Thursday (CD 15). That will mean IUI on Thursday or Friday. I think that's the best plan anyways. Saves us money because we don't use the HSG shot ($115 bucks) or the Ultrasound (about $650).

If there is any poopy-part, I am always curious about what my follicle(s) look like after clomid. I always liked to see them on the screen and get my print out. That way we know the egg is mature enough and that there IS one. Plus, if I get prego this month I could have a pic of my half-child before she/he even was!

Either way, it's a new plan and I think I like it. If it goes smoothly, I might do it this way from now on!
