If this whole thing wasn’t so emotionally draining, I would laugh.
We first saw the RE in September, and we planned to do up to 3 IUIs before the end of 2009.
2010 is nearly halfway over, and we’ve been able to do ONE. (I don’t really count the one we did when I had the polyp.) That’s one realistically possible IUI in 9 months. Now that’s some sobering math.
Cysts, thin lining, and surgery all got their delays in. And then something went weird and put all of the potential IUI days on days when we are going to be out of town.
Our trip to Hawaii knocked one out. A trip to Seattle next month will knock out another one. And the current one is being cancelled because I’ll be out of town for my sister’s wedding.
What??
It’s almost funny – except that it’s not.
The decision to skip this month’s IUI for my sister’s wedding was not an easy one. Ultimately though, it was just too much, and that’s not the way I want to spend the week of my sister’s special day.
So we continue to wait.
This year will be over before we know it.

can you adjust your seattle plane ticket to make that one possible? I am going to feel guilty the entire time you’re here! =(
Dear Stacie,
I came across your blog by coincidence, typing in Google “three years and counting infertility”. That’s exactly how long it has been for me, too, and indeed, days and weeks seem long, yet the 3 years have in a way flown by. At the same time I have a feeling that there never has been anything else in my life but this -infertility.
Anyway, wanted to wish you lots of good luck with juggling the treatments and dates, I know it can be very difficult – my last two IUIs have been cancelled because the ovulation feel on a weekend… I’m sure it will work out one way or another in the end.
