My Money's On the Mexican

This morning was my first IUI. I didn't sleep well last night at all. I am my mothers daughter. When big things are going on my brain just won't stop. Before I knew it, it was 12:30 am and I was still in the living room watching tv. I went to bed and was up at 2:30, 3:35, and 4:30 to feed cats, and got up at 5:15. My thoughts just overwhelm me sometimes. I just kept thinking what if something gets screwed up, what if dh can't do it... etc. My worries were for nothing. (If you can't tell from this and my other blogs I sometimes over-analyze and worry about things that are beyond my control).

DH went in at 8:00 this morning. He was much happier this time putting soldiers in the cup since last time at a clinic it was just a bathroom. No mags, videos, nada. This time much different. He was done and back at home with enough time to make a burrito before we had to go for me.

I have been having light cramping on both sides since last night. We got to docs office a little early and I thought we would have to wait a long time, but they were ready for us. After verifying dh swimmers and going through his results (46 million post wash, with either 56 or 84 motility, we couldn't read the paper clearly) we were ready to go. Undress from the waist down is a phrase I am begining to hear more often than hello! LOL! Doc came back in and within 4 minutes the whole thing was done. I was amazed that it was so fast. I was also amazed about the size of dh sample. The amount they used looked like 1/2 teaspoon. I was more amused by that than the procedure itself!

So after doc finished they had me lay on the table for 10 minutes. DH and I were talking about his sample (I told you I was amused by it!) and of course the comment from the doc about it being a good sample made dh's day. All of a sudden out of his mouth pops," My money's on the mexican." I looked at him like, "Baby your mexican sooo therefore..." and he was like "I know that's why my money's on them." I started laughing and giggling. If nothing else my dh is so good for making me relax.

(TMI) Since this morning I have been at home on the couch and in bed. I have had annoying cramping pretty much all day. I had a small amount of blood on some tp earlier but I am assuming that it just from the doc manipulating the cervix. I will probably work from home tomorrow also just to take it easy.

I start progesterone suppositories (lucky me!) on friday to take for 14 days. Once I get a BFP then I will go back in for confirming blood work. Until then I am in the dreaded 2ww I have been reading about. Hard to believe I am here and going through this!
