The doctor's office told me to start taking Letrezole on day 3 of my cycle. They didn't tell me what it was for, so I did some research and it's actually a breast cancer medicine, but it's other use is ovulation induction. I was a little weary about this, because ovulation has never been an issue, and I always ovulate right on time. I was hesitant about putting extra chemicals in my body, but I looked into it and talked to someone else who did IUI and began to feel more comfortable about it. It's main job is to send a message to the mature eggs to "come on down!!" and if that's the case, I'm all for it! I was supposed to take it day 3-7, but I started on day 4 instead.
They also told me to start testing for ovulation on day 10, but since I'm taking this medicine, I started today (day 7) juuuust in case. I missed it last month, and I don't want that to happen again.
We narrowed our donors down to two, and on the 17th we made a decision (12954) and had the specimen shipped to the doctor's office. It took me a few days to come down from the excitement of that part. The other half of our baby is waiting for us as the doctor's office. It made it very, very real.
So now we just wait for the smiley face on the ovulation test and then we make a baby.
I have to keep reminding myself that it's not my plan, it's His plan, and sometimes things don't work out on my timeline, but it doesn't mean they won't work out.
I know we're meant to have a baby, so I'm trusting that God will provide. I mean, when hasn't He?
