So, tonight we'll do our first Follistim shot. The dosage has been increased to 450 units - our last two IUIs were just 150 units. Dr. D said he is just trying to get as many eggs as we can. We've also got to start some antibiotics, and when I say 'we' that includes Michael. I guess they don't want him to have any low-level infections leading up to ICSI. Lastly, I'm to take a "baby" aspirin everyday. I don't know why, but I'm going to Google it.
So, this will be our routine through Sunday night. We will return to the RE's office on Monday morning for another ultrasound and more bloodwork. Our medication will be adjusted then.
I can't believe we're doing this, but I feel pretty good about it right now.

Joannah, I am so in awe of your positive attitude and grace. You amaze me! My fingers are crossed and I'm praying for you.
I too just love your attitude. Keeping both of you in my prayers!
Yippeee! 3.9 is great, even 6-7 is great. Wishing you lots and lots of luck :)
I love that we're starting our cycles around the same time. I take a baby aspirin every day, as well...though I can't remember why. Let me know if you find out. :)
Praying for you, friend!
