Today is Cycle Day 3 (CD3 for short) which is kinda important for us. Today has some big tests, and the start of medications.
Basically it is the start of our new round of IUI. Although we initially went in to see Dr. Eisermann with the intention of going straight into IVF, he didn't want to go that route. He says that I am too young and that we still have a good chance of working with IUI.
Although that made me a little disheartened at first (since this would be our 4th IUI after 3 failed attempts)... I know that he's being 100% real and honest with us. If he wanted to he could put us on IVF and make a ton more money than an IUI. But he's not. That tells me that he truly does believe that we can succeed with an IUI.
Now on the other hand... today's test that Alejandro is taking is going to check to see if his sperm knows how to penetrate an egg. If they do, we're solid. IUI here we come. Now if they don't, the whole game plan changes. IUI is no longer viable and IVF would be our only plan of action.
So to say a lot is riding on Alejandro's test today is an understatement!
But we're taking it one step at a time. I'm trying (key word TRYING) not to overthink things and get my gears going too much... which is very hard to do mind you. But at least I am trying. Hopefully 4th time's a charm!
So **clink clink** of our imaginary drinks and cheers to another round of fertility treatments!
