this sucks

Well, I went for my visit on Saturday to the RE (reproductive endocronologist) and had my estrogen checked and my follicles measured. Now, I have been doing this every other morning since stimulation day 1 which was the 3rd day of my cycle. Counting stimulation days, I have 18 of them for my follicles to grow and reach 14mm in order for me to start coming for the above said tests everyday and start using my ovulation predictor test kits at home and then once I get a positive one of those, then I can get the IUI (intra-uterine insemination). Last cycle the follicles stayed small around 6-7 and then day 12 they finally got to 12mm,then 13mm then 15 mm by the 18th day (which would be the last day) I did the IUI two days later and I started feeling great and pregnant and all. BUT aunt flo is a bitch and she mimmicks pregnancy. Well, 2 weeks later I went for my pregnancy test and it was negative. The girl said it still may be early since I ovulated so late. She said I could come back in 5 days for a repeat pregnancy test. I never made it that far, 3 hours after the news, KNOCK KNOCK, aunt flo showed up. I hate her!!!! Anyway, this Saturday I was at stimulation day 18 again and this time my follicle never got over 11mm. So I was very upset, but they said I can come back Monday just out of curiosity to see if they are still growing..........................................................................
