Well Dave and I did take a break and had every intention to wait until his dad went home in Feburary to go back and start again. But then in December something inside was telling me to go for it. I started taking meds again to start my period.
On December 16, it began.
December 18th I was checked and no cysts! Yippee!! So I was started on 3 vials of Menopur a day. Same as last cycle since we had such good results..finally! Still lots of eggs on each side.
December 23rd, 4 eggs growing strong! 12.4, 11.3, 12.6 and 10.3. All on the left side. Whew, thank goodess the right side decided to take some time off!
Dr. K then reduced my intake to 2 vials for 2 more days, as he didnt want to hyperstimulate the eggs and have too many. Thank goodness, me either!
December 26th, Dave came with me to check things out. 19.6, 17.4, 16.3, 15.4....still 4 good eggs!! Yipee!!
So we trigger tonight and have our 4th IUI with 4 eggs on Sunday, December 28th. And then keep our prayers in full force for 2 weeks.
Wow what a wonderful way to start the new year!!

... Updates ...
So I didnt start my period back in September and did have to take meds to start it.
We had 3 good eggs in October...all great size.
Had the IUI (Ill elaborate on that later) and got my period BEFORE it was even due.
Went in to get check and low and behold...cysts! Suppose it was bound to happen, we had many cycle with no cysts and sometimes your body just says enough!
So we went on a break. We had to take a month off anyway and go on birth control. But I advised the Dr. that we were wanting to take sometime so birth control wasnt necessary. Plus Daves dad was coming into town so we were going to hold off until he left in February anyway.
Now, about that IUI! WOWSA!
It was someone new who performed the procedure. At first she didnt think she had it in right. So she "repositioned". It was a bit unconfortable but nothing I couldnt handle. By the time I got to work it was getting more and more intense. I went to the rest room and was bleeding a bit. I called the Drs office. They said it was normal and so was cramping so to take some aspirin. About an hour later I was almost doubled over in pain. I finally had to go home cause I could barely walk. As I drove home I made Dave talk to me the entire way cause it hurt so bad and I was crying. When I got home Dave had to help me undress and put me in bed. I later woke up and had Dave call the dr to see what else we could do. I was able to take a nice warm bath, and if I could have stayed in there forever I would have!!
As the days pasted the pain got less and less. But it took about 3 days to be fully funcitional again. Man oh man did that hurt!!
