Hey ladies! I have to just update real quick- had my cd 11 monitoring. After 10 days of femara 2.5mg low dose I managed to produce the two biggest most perfect follicles. Ones 22, the other is 23. Last IUI June 29th was two 17-18ers. My uterine lining was 10 and they oooh'd and ahhh'd over the trilaminar (sp?)? So wow. Overwhelmed. Couldn't have been a better appointment. My doctor teaches at a research hospital so there was a med student there too. We talked more about her study on the no dairy, no high GI grains no corn no legumes no potatoes, high lean proteins fruits nuts healthy fats and veggies "diet" (diet meaning food intake not restriction) and it has been accepted for a research journal. It will be published in November. They feel confident enough in it's effects on PCOS to recommend modifying your eating habits according to this study for IUI and ivf treatments. (I have not been diagnosed, but have symptoms so Dr. Phy has been treating me sort of as such this cycle to see how I respond) she said in the study the women saw improved fertility almost immediately so it's not totally unrealistic to say that may have played a part. I ate healthy before, but are black beans, corn and dairy a lot. Like cut those completely out.
I triggered tonight, we DTD. Then we do IUI Saturday at 8:00am, BEFORE school starts like we wanted. I believe that is not an accident or coincidence. I am celebrating this small but huge victory today regardless the outcome. I feel what I haven't felt in a long time- hope. This is our Hail Mary cycle, and I'm praying!
I am praying for you all. Don't lose heart!
