Had our first appointment today, its quite exciting. Nurses have to go over the IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) protocol. This is the fertility treatment we’re following. Its less invasive that IVF and much cheaper. As I’m only 28, this treatment should have a higher success rate than if it were used by a woman of 40. It’s day 2 of my period. First I have a transvaginal ultrasound, this allows the nurse view your ovaries and the lining of my uterus. Everything is clear, so I am given two sets of drugs. Clomid and Gonal F (self injections), and a set of instructions and timings. Hmm, I think James will get that job. At least I won’t know when it’s going to hurt. Next appointment is next week to check follicle growth.
