Okay, okay, nothing to get excited about though. Only three of them have made it to 1.8cm or larger (i.e., mature follicles). And all three of those suckers are on my left side. There's a fourth one on the left side that's a bit smaller (1.67) and on the right, five of em that are partying, although the party is dying out. They're not going to live up to the task, unfortunately. But three ain't bad. The endometrium is over 1 cm and that's fantastic.
So, with that, I got my HCG injection this morning (ouch!) and I go back tomorrow to use the ENTIRE vial. That's right. No splitting it this month. One time and one time only. This is the last kick at the can and I'm not willing to risk losing any of that sample in the thaw, refreeze, thaw process. So we go tomorrow to use the whole shebang.
We're getting to that IVF package as well. Hubby made his appointment for the semen analysis and I'll wait til next month to get that bloodwork done when I have no meds in my system. I expect a 2-3 month wait before we can get an appointment, so no rush I guess.
And after a few weeks of some stress, hubby and I had a

Three is great! Good luck tomorrow.
The marital stress doesn't sound like much fun, but if it brought hubby's concerns to the surface then perhaps it was worthwhile. That must've been quite a load for him to bear.
My husband has said similar things. His comment was that he was afraid if it never works that I wouldn't be happy with it just being the two of us. Its a tough thing for them because they have no control over it. Glad you got it out there though...
:)
I've got three too! Three is good.
We're so alike Gil. When I said "I do" it meant forever too. That's how it should be. :-)
3 is great ! All the best Gil I am hoping this one will be different for you.
Good Luck !
I hope all goes well with the IUI tomorrow.
I hope your hubby is feeling a little better about things.
It is tough on a marriage dealing with this crap. I meant "I do" as well, but I have to admit, somedays, when hubby and I disagree on whether to try again or how to proceed, and I know we aren't even reading the same book, much less reading the same page, agggghhhhhhh, I wonder.
Still here and plugging away, but wondering how hard it gets and when it gets easier.
Crossing my fingers for you...
Waiting to hear about the IUI, and hope your doing okay. Husbands are silly, aren't they?
I completly understand how your man feels. The whole process opens deep wounds and can cause heartache that has never been experienced.
I don't do advice generally but...give him a big hug and encourage him to talk about it, if not to you then somebody else. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, I wish I'd spoken about my feelings sooner.
Sending you both positive thoughts and love

Whoo HooO!!!! This sounds great...if this is your last kick at the IUI can, then you're going out with the best possible KICK!!!!
Ugh. The stress. Glad you were able to get that out so that you could reassure your darling hubby....sorry it's all so hard. Yuck.
Hoping the wait speeds by and ends up with the happiest of news...
peace

Never stop letting him know you feel that way, Gil. They need to be reminded- even when they say they know. This diagnosis is extremely hard for a guy and they need to be secure that their wives love them unconditionally.
The new plan sounds FABU! Crossing my fingers extra *crossly* this month. ;)
-D.
