One year ago we had our first IUI and a few days after getting my period I was hospitalized with a serious infection in my fallopian tubes. Almost exactly one year later, I finally have the all clear to start IUIs again. This past year has been an emotional rollercoaster coaster where we thought my tubes my have to be removed completely. My mental health is in shambles from the stress of this last year, but I'm so relieved to finally be starting up the IUI process again.

All that history to show how big of a deal this feels to be starting IUIs again. My first ultrasound last week didn't go as hoped. I had a huge cyst, but luckily it ended up being outside the ovaries so we were able to proceed with letrozole. That appointment was first thing in the morning and I went to work after. After that appointment my husband didn't call or text to check in. I texted to give him an update.

Today I had my next ultrasound. Again, things didn't go as hoped. My follicules didn't grow as much as they should have and I'm taking 5 more days worth of letrozole at a higher dosage. My appointment ended 3 hours ago and still no text from my husband asking how it went. I told him last night and multiple times all week about this appointment. I'm so frustrated that he can't be bothered to remember. It just makes me feel alone in this.
