Super Excited!

So Brad and I met with out RE yesterday thinking that we were having an IVF consult and then we ended up somewhere else entirely! My RE had previously said that I probably wasn't a good candidate for IUI with injecible medication because I would probably over-respond and end up with a cancelled cycle. However, he seemed to be a lot more positive this time (maybe because he had some med records that he didn't have last time, or maybe because we'd had a lot of bloodwork in the meantime). He said it was up to us but that we can do an IUI with the lowest level of follistim (50 ius I think) and try that to see how I respond. He did caution me that my cycle could still be cancelled if I over-respond. Since we were going to try to do IVF in June, we want to work this IUI in immediately so that it doesn't push us back. I really hope this works and I am really hopeful. I will start Provera tomorrow to bring on AF and then it's on!

I have already begun thinking about things like: If I start Provery tomorrow, I should get AF on March 15th; that means I can start stims March 17th and if I stim for 7 days (I am assuming I will be a quick responder) then I would trigger on the 24th and have my IUI on the 25th. That would make my EDD about a week before Christmas! I know that this is kind of silly, since I am thinking about step 100 and we are on step 1, but this is the first time I have felt truely hopeful.

One thing that I am worried about is that Brad and I have a vacation planned for 2 weeks at the end of May. I would be around 11 weeks at the start of the vacation so I might not feel the best but I think I can do it! Besides, if the IUI doesn't work then I will really need a vacation anyways :) I am trying not to get ahead of myself, but I am so excited. I just hope that i am not setting myself up for a fall...
