I was able to go to round 2 of my Midpoint Ultrasound on Thursday. No fever for over 24 hours. I just felt super run-down and tired, but I powered through so that I had a chance of an IUI this month. (When I got home over an hour later, I was exhausted, coughing, and … Continue reading Update Time
Midpoint Mania
I woke up Monday, January 22nd, with a cough. It was one of those coughs that felt heavy in your chest.

Midpoint Ultrasound (Short Post)
I usually don't have appointments on Saturday morning, but in this world of endless possibilities, I did. I headed back to the doctor's office to do a check of my ovaries on cycle day 10. In order to move to the IUI, my ovaries have to contain maturing follicles. Dr. Namnoum was optimistic that I … Continue reading Midpoint Ultrasound (Short Post)
