My very first IUI is scheduled for wednesday 12/2. I was in the office today for an u/s to check on my follies. After doing 5 days of clomid, holy hot flashes, I am happy to report 2 mature follicles. Both were 18 in size and the doc thinks we have a pretty good shot. I was given my own ammunition, Ovidrel, for my trigger tonight at 10:15.
I have to say I am slightly nervous about giving myself a shot. In my mind I am thinking these are things that trained medical professionals should be doing. My mom said, "Well have dh do it." This is not better, he is also not a trained medical professional. I think I am just hesitant because I am finally here doing things I have read about in books, and thought I prepared for. Somehow injecting myself with a needle and then getting injected with dh lil soldiers is not the romantic ideal of having a baby that I thought would be my life. I know this is where we are and that this is the best option for us. I am just really trying to keep my hopes in check. I don't want to have high hopes and then have to go through this forever.
On another note, I was talking to my sister tonight and she was like, "What if they mix up dh swimmers and you end up with another persons baby?" I was like,"why would you say that?" Now I am going to have dreams about getting the semen mixed up. Hopefully this does not happen and I have dh baby like I am supposed too. LOL!
We are T-minus 2 hours till shot time and I think I am more nervous about the shot than I am for the actual procedure. I am happy though that dh has talked to his work and they were totally understanding about all this and gave him wednesday off. He was just going to go in for his collection and then I would have had to go by myself. At least now he will be with me when this whole science experiment happens.
I know this all sounds negative and I asure you that I am grateful that there is nothing major wrong with us. I am just nervous about the whole thing. This is my nerves talking and I can tell because I am rambling....LOL
I am preparing for battle!
