Old McDonald had a farm, E I E IUI

IUI? -- WAIT! That's not how that song goes. But that is what out next step will be. I spoke with Brenda yesterday and without going into too much detail, Brad's fast swimmers just aren't all that fast. (I can just picture them trying to doggie paddle) So Dr. Ashurst has recommended an IUI. He said that with my inability to ovulate on my own and Brad's boys needing swimmies it would be our best option at the moment. So as soon as I start my period, which should be any day now, the clock will start. I'll go in around day 3 for an ultrasound to make sure my cysts are gone and if they are -- Clomid, Follistim and Ovadrel here I come. If you don't know much about IUIs you can go here: IUI FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
So my question to you is this: how much detail do y'all want from all this? Most of you know I'm not really shamed about giving out info so I want y'all to draw the line on the dept of detail.
Sorry that it's been so long since my last post. My emotions and attitude have been in the crapper. Completely awful and some of you can vouch for that. I didn't even want to be around myself. I don't know what the problem has been but I'm glad that it's starting to go away. Y'all have to just excuse me when I get like that.
So y'all keep the prayers lifted and I'll keep you updated.

You made me LOL with the "doggie paddle" comment! I hope the very best for y'all. I can't even imagine what y'all are going through, I will keep you in my prayers!!!!

I'll be praying for you! I want those cysts GONE.

We jokingly refer to IUI as the turkey baster method. I hope it works for you and you all get a little butterball soon! (And I may be e-mailing you for a heads-up in a few months, too...)

Even though I don't actually know you (just through Becky), I have done three IUI's in the past so I know what you are going through. Saying prayers daily! Feel free to email me if you want to talk to someone that knows some details! candice dot lassiter at gmail dot com (no spaces!) I have a blog but it's closed for maintenance right now. Praying for you sister!!
