resolve + iui #4

one more stop before IVF, its going to be a back-to-back iui with femara. its sort of our last hope at getting pregnant naturally. i'm going to take femara this cycle to help me ovulate by day 14 and to maybe get more than one egg to increase our chances. we're hoping that DH's counts go up this month because he's being doing a lot nutritionally to try to increase his count. i realize though that even though someone might have a fantastic count and morphology, etc, it is possible to still not get pregnant. 

we're doing this last iui because our big meeting with our RE isn't until the middle of this month. 

i've been feeling a bit more positive in the past couple of days because we went to a resolve support group meeting. it was really great and really sad all at the same time. it was heartbreaking to hear everyone's stories, but it felt so comforting to know that there are other people going through the exact same thing. it made me accept myself and my husband more. it made me feel like this is just a phase or period of life that my husband and i are going through, and even though we don't like it, it made me see ourselves defined a bit more and less lost. before it felt like we had fallen into some abyss and weren't fitting into our life anymore. and it still does, it just feels reassuring that there are other couples just like us.
