3rd IUI completed

Today was our 3rd IUI and we didn't get the greatest news. Our chances to conceive this month may only be 5%. Thats the lowest so far. Dr G my normal RE wasn't there today but another RE stepped up in his place. He gave us the option to deny the IUI process but we both agreed to do it anyway. You never know... He said he's seen it happen before so fingers crossed! This doctor agrees that IVF may be our only option now. Kevin's numbers have been on the low side recently and that combined with my issues...you get the point. But good news is there is some sperm so IVF will give us a good chance! I asked if there was anything we could do to increase his number and he said "not really". He doesn't drink or smoke so the only answer we have for his low count is the fact hes a welder and the heat impacts his sperm production. Good news is we may get to start IVF in May! If thats so then we wont have to wait long to get started. Lets hope this IUI is a success and we don't have to worry about it! In 2 weeks we will talk pregnancy tests so stay tuned!

Update IUI #3

 Today I found out I have two follicles on my left side one is at a 15 and the other one is at a 17 therefore we're triggering ovulation  tomorrow and hoping that I ovulate both follicles for IUI on Friday. This is the first time I had 2 follicles ready to finish maturing so that gives me a little hope!
