We went to Kaiser today for our second insemination. I felt like this doctor was a lot more meticulous than the previous one. He tried three different tubes because he wanted to get it just right and provided commentary for every single step he was taking, also showing me the differences with each tube. The doctor who did my first IUI didn’t say much except to indicate when he was inserting the speculum. I’m counting on the precision of today’s Asian doctor!
I’m trying to keep my hopes up, but a little disappointed that the doctor said that if this IUI doesn’t work, then we’d have to consider other options. More IUIs won’t help under our circumstances. I don’t want to think about those options because I want to be hopeful about this one, but we still left the hospital feeling rather dejected.
It’s my birthday soon and hoping I get the best birthday present ever with some positive baby news.
Hi there! Found you on twitter
I am also a bay area girl with my first IUI done on June 6th and my 30th bday on July 13th… I am also hoping for good news on baby soon!
How are you feeling? Any symptoms?
Good luck and baby dust!!
hi faby! thanks for commenting. it feels so good to be supported. i’m glad we’re going through this together!
i don’t seem to have any symptoms other than wine withdrawal since i am used to a couple glasses of wine a night! i spoke to my reproductive endocrinologist by phone today and he advises that i stick with IUIs for at least another several rounds before going the IVF route. that makes me feel so much better. he is hopeful which makes me hopeful!
keep me posted with you and wishing you lots of baby luck!
