Results & plan

I got the results of my bloodwork:
FSH: 6.2 - (normal range < 10)
Estradiol: 26 - (normal range < 80)

Both tests are normal. DH had his SA today and the urologist looked at the sample herself and told him everything looked great and they will call him in a few days with the specifics. We passed all the tests with flying colors....now what???

We are going to go ahead with injectables (Follistim) this cycle. The RE office is closed the day after Thanksgiving BUT they will do IUI's if needed!! The nurse said not to worry, they wouldn't make me spend all that money and get my hopes up if the timing wasn't going to work out. I was very surprised that we got the go ahead because I had already convinced myself that we were out this cycle.

The plan:
Follistim (75 IU) for four days starting tomorrow (Thursday) - CD 5
Ultrasound - Monday November 23
Most likely I will have a few more injections after the first ultrasound and possibly the IUI on "Black Friday"!

DH and I are leaving for Texas tomorrow for a wedding and will be back sunday night, so I will be shooting up on the road! Have a good weekend!!

I am so excited for you! Not that I'm glad I have to become a druggie to have a baby, but the follistim injections are SUPER easy!!!

Well, that is certainly good news! Yay for that!

SO, where in Tx is the wedding? Anywhere near Austin? Austin weather this weekend is supposed to be great.
