The Art Of Making Babies : IUI

We failed in making little Pablo or little Eva while "anni-mooning" in Argentina.

Our fertility specialist Dr. D decided that taking Clomid and timed intercourse may not be suitable for us as we are rushing for time... my biological clock is ticking hard and loud and we wanna have more that one child before we turn 35 and we are already 32!

Yesterday, we discussed with Dr D and we all decided that injectables and IUI is our next step. So for the next 1 week I will self inject with follicle stimulation hormone to make sure my eggs are matured and to induce the release of the eggs then I will go through a series of scanning and blood test for the correct timing for the uterine insemination and let nature takes its course! 

I have to admit, this whole procedure is daunting to me even though it is a treatment that is done everyday by thousands of couple...but I somehow feel afraid... number one... needles! I hate needles and to self inject!!!! *faints*  Secondly, what if it does not work? how many cycles of IUI do I need to endure? and the emotional roller coaster! 

I got a bit emotional yesterday after seeing Dr D. Hubs was back in KL and I was all alone at home and me and my "free" mind started thinking and envisioning the worse.... I was in an emotional messed by myself...it was hard. But today! today is a different day...I feel much positive even today's jab hurts more than yesterday...I feel ok...but emotionally still struggling...not a clue why...blame it on the hormones!

I am praying hard that this cycle is gonna be the ONLY cycle we need to do...and I do not wanna buy sanitary pads for next month!
