Needles, Needles Everywhere

It’s Day 13, which means more needles. Today I’ve had needles in my arm, my head, my ear, 5 in my stomach, my hand, my feet, my legs and well, there are probably more I don’t know about because I shut my eyes.

The E2 from the blood work was 202, so moving along nicely.

The rest of the needles came from acupuncture. At this point, I’ll try anything that might given me a better margin of a chance.
I started seeing a fertility acupuncture specialist last week and this was the second session.
When I mentioned where I was going and the RE I was seeing, she gushed about the Center and also knew my RE personally.

I’m glad to hear that I’m in such capable hands. I’ve been hearing from so many people—“oh they are the best”! So, I think if anyone can get me pregnant, the VEFC can do it!

My acupuncturist is Melani Bolyai at http://www.naturalqi.com

She has excellent recommendations and so far I am very happy with her.

Day 11 Bloodwork and Ultrasound

This was our first Day 11 set of tests for my upcoming IUI and we were pretty excited.
Not so excited to get up at 7:30am on a Saturday morning.
Very excited that the young doctor with the dildo cam looked a whole lot like Katherine Heigl of Grey's Anatomy.

She got a great laugh out of "dildo cam"--she'd never heard that one before, but she did say that a lot of husbands have remarked "that thing gets more action than me" Ouch!

So, uterine wall is nice and stripey, thickening away.
E2 was 115 and she found three follicles, all about the same size of 1cm.

I'm happy with all of that, moving along quite nicely for the first month and no drugs.
