Dead.....they're all dead!!!

Catchy post title, huh?? Well, I guess you can all deduct how todays PCT went. For the u/s, there were several small follicles on the right, but a 19mm dominant follicle on the left!! This would be great if I didn't kill of the sperm!! This will be 2 months in a row that I will ovulate from my left side. I want to continue this trend, seeing as I do not have a fallopian tube on my right side. My RE has suggested us to try the IUI. We will do a follicle scan u/s on or around day 17 next cycle. Then, if my dominant follicle is on the left, we will schedule the IUI, but if it is on the right, we will hold off on the IUI. Basically, there is no point in doing it when I am ovulating on the right side, so we don't need to "waste" our money.

Funny side note, I called my Mom after the appointment today (she is the only family member that knows of the struggles we are having, and she just found out in December). I was telling her about the IUI and how the doctor said it will cost $200 per IUI, but my insurance covers 50% of all my treatments and meds at this time, so it will only cost us $100 (which is WAY less than I thought it would cost). My Mom then told me that if we have a boy, we need to name him Ben, or at least have that for a middle name. I, of course, was confused as to where she came up with the name Ben, and she replied, "because he cost $100, like Benjamin Franklin on the $100 bill". This is a very cute observation, my Mom is so funny!!!
