And now I wait...

I had my first IUI yesterday. It was a day I had been looking forward to and a day that I hope to look back upon with happiness. Hopefully!! Hope...that's all I've got!

Anyways, here's some background. I started seeing an RE in October and it was one of the best decisions I've made. We continued to try on our own for two more months and didn't have any luck. All in all, we tried for six months since my ectopic and didn't have success. Since all of the other times I became pregnant very quickly within only two months of trying, she decided it was best for me to go on Clomid. Clomid is a medicine that helps people ovulate and helps people like me, with only one tube, hopefully produce better quality eggs and more eggs. My IUI was all going to be based on what we found on my cycle day 13 ultrasound. If my right side was showing dominance, there would be no IUI scheduled. Well, much to my surprise, my left side was showing dominance so the IUI was a go! I went back for another ultrasound on cycle day 18 and my follicle had grown to 23 mm. Since I had not surged on my own yet, they decided to have me do a trigger shot, which makes you ovulate. Two days later (yesterday), I went in for my IUI. My husband had a count of 120 million, which is fantastic! Now, let's just hope everything gets together and a party starts to form in my ute soon! Hope...it's what's for dinner!

P.S. I have no clue how I'm going to make it until January 20. That's when the nurse said I can test if my period doesn't start before then. I go for a progesterone check next Thursday.
