IUI #1
We had our first IUI procedure done this morning
and everything went great!
Scott's sample was excellent!
The doctor must have said that a hundred times!
Backing up to our follicle scan Friday,
We met with Dr. G who is in practice with Dr. B
He was VERY nice! and I was so impressed with him.
He was having trouble finding my left ovary (as always)
but told me he was going to push down on my stomach
to try and move it! No one has ever done this and guess what...
it worked!!
Lefty popped right out! with a nice 16mm Follicle
the Right held a nice big juicy 20mm!
my lining looked great at an 8.5
Dr. G thought it would be best to let these plump
up just a little more before triggering. So Saturday night
while at my parents house I took my injection.
Sunday was Easter
everything was fabulous and fun!
I will have an Easter post up soon!
Monday (today)
We woke up early and headed to the hospital so Scott
could do his part, my appointment wasn't until 10:30
so we went and grabbed some breakfast :)
then to Trader Joes to see if we needed
to pick up anything while we killed time.
At 10:01 we were pulling back into the hospital
we were just too excited to keep waiting.
We only waited about 10 minutes before they took us back,
Dr. G entered with our favorite nurse and had me
verify a few things then it was time to begin!
It was over before I knew it!
painless and quick!
we were given a timer and told to come out when
it went off so we could set up lab work.
The entire 7 minutes of waiting
Scott sang to me...the Soft Kitty song
from Saturday night live. We always sing it to Waffles
when she is barking out of control and it seems
to calm her, I guess Scott thought it would have
the same effect on me :)
The plan now is to take one more injection
this Thursday then have my progesterone labs drawn Monday.
My beta will be Wednesday April 17th!
I took the day off work today to relax and enjoy the moment.
Ready to go!!!
Scott & I waiting! My favorite socks :) Me on the table ready for action
and...that would be me laying down in the back of the truck on the way home ;)
I will be back soon with an Easter update!!
& I haven't forgotten about our trip to TN post, it's coming!
Have a wonderfully week ladies :)
