IUI 1 done!!!

So I may be officially pregnant now!!! We just had our first IUI and after worrying about it for 24 hours, it looked like everything went perfectly.

My first panic was that I was already surging that morning of my shot but the dr assured me that since it was the same day as the shot, it was not a problem at all. In fact, the timing for this morning's IUI would have been perfect and likely tomorrow's will also be still in time to catch the eggs.

My second panic was that they told us to have intercourse last night since dh has good counts so that we leave get some sperm there before ovulation as well. Then this morning when dh collected his sample (to me stripping for him, lol), it was like the saddest small sample ever. So I was really panicking. I was convinced there couldn't be any sperm in that. But his sample had 25.5 million grade A swimmers which they said was plenty for an IUI so that was a huge relief! Oh and i was also panicking because it took us over an hour to get there so I was worried the sperm that were there were dying!

Oh the joys of fertility treatments. Anyway, they said that the 3rd eggie probably made it due to my high estrogen levels yesterday so 3 mature eggs and 25.5 million sperms all carefully placed next to one another... Fertilize baby Fertilize!!!

Off to get a massage so I can relax and then I have IUI number 2 tomorrow. Fun times!!! But after worrying for a couple of days, I'm now to my new stage of believing I am pregnant!
