Sperminated!

I had an appt again yesterday morning, I should really be earning frequent flyer miles or something, I have been in there every day since last Friday.  Anyways, everything was looking good, Dr. R was really happy with my 3 follies: 19,17,17 and my estrogen levels and my lining looked great.  (The keener in me is happy I feel like I've aced this cycle so far!  lol)  They gave me the Ovidrel shot while I was there yesterday morning and told me to come back this morning for IUI.

I won't lie, after 4 days of feeling nauseous and with the anxiety and uncertainty of what to expect from the IUI, I was pretty apprehensive last night.  H was amazingly supportive as always, he is such a good man.  I started to get really nauseous around 9pm and was worried I would feel sick all night - at least the last few days I felt sick early in the day but it had subsided by evening.  I was still feeling iffy by the time I went to bed, I took a couple anti-nausea pills which fortunately make me drowsy as well and managed to fall asleep.  By 5:30am I was awake and feeling a little queasy again but thankfully not as bad as yesterday.  H and I got up and went to the clinic.  While H was giving his sample, they took me for b/w and u/s.  I had 3 follies that were all 20mm!  I have to say, I found it amusing I was lying there with a dildo cam poking around while H was in another room, doing his thing.  Here we are, trying to make a baby and we're not even in the same room!  When we were both done, we left the clinic and went to Timmy's to grab a coffee and some breakfast (ok, H got some coffee and breakfast, I had a little gingerale and a tea biscuit), we didn't want to sit in the waiting room for almost an hour.  We tried to chat about random stuff, but I was feeling nervous and anxious and had trouble being distracted.  My anxiety seems to be getting worse as I get older.

We headed back to the clinic and settled up our bill (ouch!  This cycle will cost us about $2100) before they took us back to an exam room.  Dr. R, the awesome nurse I like and a medical student came in (the student was at my appt yesterday so I knew she would be there - and who cares, what's one more person looking at my vag anyways!)  It honestly was no where near what I thought it would be.  It was just like getting a pap.  The speculum isn't fun but it's not that bad, and my uterus wasn't quite as retroverted as Dr. R expected, so that sounded like a plus.  Anyways, it was over before I knew it!  I literally said, "That's it, it's over?"  He joked that at least I didn't ask if it was in yet!  He is hilarious!  We had a good laugh about it all.  I asked about H's post wash count - Dr. R said it was excellent, more than 100 million and more than 90% motility.  H and is super sperm!  Then they left and H and I hung out for 15 minutes or so.  The nurse came in to bring me progesterone suppositories - awesome.  This is a new one for me.  I was told to do one in the morning, two at night starting tomorrow night or Friday morning.  Clearly I'm willing to do whatever I have to do, but I am not excited about that part.  I was hoping my "work" was done and I could just cruise through the 2ww!  Anyways, hopefully it will all be worth it.
