Well the actula IUI went smoothly. I t was pretty much what I expected. It was really fast so there was very little discomfort. I have had paps that were more painful.
The only downer of the day was that Clark's sample was a little bit lower count then we would have liked. I don't know what the total volume was, but after the wash it was 5.9 million. Which they assure me is still a decent number and totally worthwhile going through the procedure with. But apparently they really like to see it over 7 million after the wash. The upside is their motility was really good, as was morphology. So I'm not sure how good or bad any of that information is, as the dr reminded us, it really only does take one.
Yesterday, I felt terrible though. I think it was the combination of the ovi*drel and the cramping from the iui. Not too mention getting up so early. Feeling much more like myself, although, I am working from home today.
Well, now it's a waiting game. I go for my beta on the 30th (luteal day 18). The nurse told me if I cheat and do a HPT before the blood beta, not to do it before luteal day 15, which I guess is the same as 15 dpo. So that would be the 27th. I don't know if I will or not. Knowing me I probably will. Working on my patience for the next 2 weeks.

i hear ya about working on patience. GLad yout IUI went smoothly.. That ovidr.el shot for was brutal with the side effects - good luck to those swimmers
The dreaded two week wait..yuck. I will be thinking about you for sure.
Wishing you luck. We both had IUIs on the same day, and my DHs count was very similar. Hopefully, things will work out for both of us.
Thinking of you and sending lots of prayers for a quick 2WW with a fantastic end result!
Just think of all those millions of little guys swimming around in there...surely one will hit the jackpot!!!
best of luck on the patience, it is so damn hard to wait. hope you come up with lots of fun distractions!
Hoping that this is the month for you guys!
The waiting is sooooo hard...
In Him,
Jen H.
