So, after the talk of multiples in my last post I headed to my acupuncture appointment. We talked through the latest round of treatments, and my acupuncturist told me that all the ladies at the fertility clinic were excitedly asking her if she had seen me because our progress was so fantastic. We had an animated discussion, she took my pulses and she did what she does best. After the acupuncture treatment was completed, Heather said to me that judging by my pulses (and the estrogen and progesterone levels indicated through the quality of my pulses) it seemed like I had not ovulated yet. This was two days after the IUI treatment. Ugh! She encouraged us to keep trying naturally during this cycle just in case... In my head this meant, "back to the drawing board." So, again.... Just trust that this will work out as it needs to! Please don't let these shots and this process be for nothing!
three days later, this morning we began the progesterone shots. Good news is that it's one shot per day rather than three. The bad news is that this needle is much longer than the ones I was doing in my belly, and this needs to be administered on my posterior! So, romantic mornings are had as my husband gets to shoot a dart in my ass every morning to start up the day! For better or for worse, in sickness an in health, right? I feared that he'd inflict serious pain, but he did really well! Six more weeks of these! Yippee!
