On to the Next

4 negative home pregnancy tests later, I think I’ve resigned myself to this not being my cycle. I think I’m numb right now and it hasn’t completely hit me yet.

Since Aunt Flo (AF) hasn’t come to visit yet, I haven’t started all the testing, etc. of a next cycle so the full reality hasn’t sunken in. I guess the good news is that the progesterone worked in lengthening my cycle. The doctor wants me to be a little more aggressive this cycle so that I respond better and end up with more than 1 follicle. I think that if I get 2, like I did on my 2nd try and now add in the progesterone that I’ll have much better odds.

I have to say that as much I am happy that I got through the full “normal” length of a cycle, now that I know I’m not pregnant, I’d really like to get started with the next one. Everyone says to be patient…I get it, but it’s just not that easy.

My mind is already racing with the next cycle and timing, which all depends on when AF decides to arrive. I was planning on going away the 30th through the 4th of July, but it’s looking more and more like the 30th is when my next IUI will fall. I also think I’m going to switch up my donor. I had bought 6 vials, which are now gone. I could buy more from the same donor, but I think it won’t hurt to switch that up a bit too.

On to the next…
