I went in for my follow up u/s to check on my non-existent follies this morning. They are still pretty much non-existent. The one follie on my left that was almost a 10mm on Wednesday of last week is a measly 14mm now. How does a follie only grow 4mm in 5 days! That just seems wrong. And there was still nothing on my right. My lining was barely at a 6 (5.7 I think) but tri-lameter.

I got the call from my RE's nurse and he thinks we should give it a try. I just don't think it's worth it BUT since insurance will cover everything for the IUI/wash... we are going to go for it. So we are going to give it one last shot before we completely give up. I will trigger on Wednesday night and go in for an IUI on Friday. She also added at the end of our talk that if this doesn’t work, he wants to have another consult with me... meaning I don't think he thinks the clomid is the right choice either.

I guess I should be kind of excited. I haven't gotten to trigger to do an IUI since August... but I just really am over my body not cooperating and want something to look forward to again. With that said, DH and I are fully committed to adoption with in the next year. We are doing lots of leg-work at the moment, trying to figure out if we want to go through an Agency or just find an adoption lawyer. I'm hoping to set up a consultation with a few agencies next week, and I also heard of one really good adoption lawyer in my area so I'm going to call her and see if she will see us too. I am by no means giving up on my dream to be pregnant one day, but it's just not what I need at the moment. I need/want to be a mother and I think that if we can adopt soon then I will be happy to wait a few years to save up money so we can give IVF a shot and try for a biological child.

Wow... that got kind of long. Sorry for the novel. I hope that you made it!!!

Aww Kari, I'm sorry those follies didn't cooperate the way you wanted. 14mm is still pretty good. I'm sure your Dr would have canceled the cycle again if they thought it would be a bust. Maybe it'll grow a little more in the next couple of days too! I'll be praying for you and sending lots of positive thoughts your way for you. I think it's great that you're looking into adoption as well. I've been thinking a lot about it myself... Good luck to you guys with whatever path your journey ends up taking! But don't be a stranger and keep updating us!

Good luck, Kari! I think it's good that you are giving it a shot-- you never know- you may have a perfect follie in there just taking its time!

I am so sorry that your body isn't cooperating with you. I think we all know how frustrating that can be. It is exciting to me that you are both moving forward with adoption. I hope someday my DH will be there. I believe he will. That is an exciting prospect in the mean time. Good luck with it all.
