Well a lot of things have been going on since my last past (all positive thank goodness!). It all started when I went in for my routine 3-day blood work ultrasound and found out that I had several follicles that were large enough for us to go ahead with the Intrauterine Insemination (IUI). I have to admit I was pretty shocked, it feels like I have been doing these injections forever without anything happening so I was delighted with the news that we could finally take the next step. So Monday and Tuesday mornings I went in for IUIs and they were actually not too bad. So now that the IUIs are over I am now experiencing the dreaded 2 week wait (2WW) and although it has only been a few days so far, it seems like an eternity. I know that it is highly unlikely that the IUIs will be successful on the first go around but I am trying me best to stay positive and hope for the best.
On another note, one of the companies that I am currently working for has really gone above and beyond and have figured out a way to give me a full-time position with health insurance. Yeah, I will be taking a pay cut BUT I will be working with a single company closer to my home that will be a lot less stressful than my current situation and I will have health insurance that abides by the Connecticut Infertility Mandate (details of which can be found here. My current insurance under my husband's company found a wonderful little loophole when it come to the state mandate; specifically, since they chose to have a self-insured plan they do not need to follow the state mandate. Luckily, the company that I will now be working with is Full Insured and does follow the state mandate. Of course I am hoping that they IUIs worked this first time around but it is nice to know that I will have coverage if they do not. I am hoping both of these pieces of good news are a sign of great things to come and will continue praying.
