IUI #1 canceled

Went in for CD3 bloodwork and u/s this morning. The u/s tech said I was cyst free though she could not find my left ovary. She finally (after much pain and maneuvering) found something and measured it but I am not convinced it was actually anything meaningful.

My e2 was high (though not terribly high--71) on my bloodwork and since the doctor didn't think we got a look at the left ovary they are concerned there is a cyst and want me to take a break.

I am upset of course but will manage. The thing I am most upset about is that I have no idea when my next cycle will be as without meds they can be sooo long. But I will keep my fingers crossed for less than 50 days.

I am going to focus on losing weight during the break and getting my exercising back on track. I was running 10-15 miles per week and since the m/c have run maybe 3 times total. My clothes haven't been fitting very well and I feel like crap because of all the crappy food I have been eating.

IUI #1 here we come...

Well yesterday it became official...cycle 18 was a big fat bust.

So now we will be moving on to IUI. My plan for this cycle is Clomid 100mg with an Ovidrel trigger and a single IUI on ovulation day. I am hoping for a slightly increased response to the 100mgs of Clomid this time as last cycle I only had one egg (which I know is all it takes but I wouldn't mind increasing the odds).

I am pretty sure that CD 1 will be tomorrow as I am feeling very crampy and it feels like I am spotting (though I am on a train so I am not sure about that).

Anyone who has gone through an IUI (or 2 or 6) have any advice??
