Update TTC #1, Clomid Cycle #1, CD8

So yesterday I had an appt with Trudy, the NP Fertility Specialist.  This is the 2nd time I see her.  Dr. Holt, who did my cervical dilation last week, wanted me to see her so that we could discuss taking more aggressive measures to get me KU.  Well I went to see her yesterday afternoon and she basically told me that this cycle, we could do the HCG injection instead of waiting for cycle #3.  Then she explained that if this cyle didn't work with the injection, we would bump it up to IUI next cycle.  In order for me to get the HCG, I have to have my follicles monitored to make sure that they will be large enough to move forward with the HCG.  I get that done on Dec 17th and if follies are good to go, I will get the injection.  From there, we are to time our BD 24, 32, and 38 hours later after the injection.  But because JC will be at work, we will have to modify that.  So basically we should BD the day after and twice two days after.  She also told me that should it fail this cycle, we could do the IUI next cycle.  I asked her if we had the option to do it this cycle and she said yes.  She did a run through of the costs and it would come out to $370 for the whole procedure, everything included.  She told me to discuss it with hubby that night and let her know when I come in on the 17th what our decision was.  If we opted for the IUI, it would be done the day after the HCG, so the 18th. Last night, when JC got home we discussed it and decided we would do natural insemination this cycle.  If no luck, then we would do IUI the next cycle.  I have faith that his swimmers will know what to do and that there won't be any problem on his end.  After all, his SA came back normal.  So until then, I can only hope that our first cycle is all we really need.  We will continue to BD every other day on even cycle days until the 17th, then resume the other protocol.  I'm hoping and trusting in my body that all I really needed was a "boost" to the hormones.  I hope this works.  I'm being very optimistic.
