One more night before trigger

Tonight will be my last night of meds before I trigger tomorrow night for my back to back IUIs. I had my monitoring appointment today which was very exciting because I had a 18mm, 17mm, 16mm, 14mm and 12mm. Based on their patterns so far, it looks like they will grow at least 2 and maybe 3 mm before I trigger tomorrow night since I took more shots tonight. That means I'd have a 20mm, 19mm, 18mm, 16mm and 12mm. Which with my good estrogen levels should mean... 4 MATURE FOLLICLES!!!

I'm so excited since that was my goal for this cycle and I've worried a lot it wouldn't happen. Plus, thanks to the Ganirelix, I won't be surging early this time so my IUIs should be timed perfectly. So, all in all, I think it's justified to get a bit excited and optimistic again!

In other news, we had a big talk with my parents today and we are all happy and in agreement that if this IUI doesn't work, we will start birth control to get ready for a July IVF. It's a pretty big decision, financially and emotionally. We've all prayed about it and all agreed it was the right course of action. We are paying part of it and my parents are helping paying part of it and I think everyone was happy with what we worked out. Of course we hope it won't come to that but I needed to know what we would do next. For now, we will only do one IVF and any FETS available. Financially, a second IVF wouldn't be an option at this point and that's ok. Worst case scenario, we can always wait a year and save back up if need be...

So, we are feeling hopeful for this cycle and at peace for where we will go if this cycle doesn't work and for today, that's all I can ask for.
