I sure hope so. IUI #3 is in the books. As of 10am, I have 93.4 million sperm swimming like Michael Phelps through my uterus trying to make their way to my one egg and win the gold. That's a nice visual, huh?
I was a little disappointed in how I responded this cycle. I started my meds a day late so I was hoping to at least make it to CD12 before I triggered. Didn't happen. I actually triggered earlier than normal on CD10. And I only had one follie. All it takes is one and research shows having multiple follies doesn't really increase your chances of success, it just increases your chances of multiples. With doubling up on my Menopur on CD8 and 9, I expected to have at least 2-3, but one is better than none. Especially if it's THE one.
I always get a kick out of the conversations that take place during my IUIs. Last time, it was SEC football. This time, iPads, wifi, and politics. My RE is a bit random, but I'd much rather have meaningless chitchat than uncomfortable silence.
P4 check will be next Friday. Since I didn't have to do the Ganirelix this time, he said I didn't need to have it checked early. Oddly enough, I'm relinquishing my questioning nature and trusting in his shot-calling this time around. I didn't even ask my LH and E2 numbers. What's up with that?
I'm going to *try* to hold out until beta for my results - or POAS @ 14dpIUI if I don't do supps since my clinic only does betas if you're on supps. I hate over-analyzing every line I see and I really hate seeing the line fade, then come back, only to see it fade again. It's a knife to my heart every time.
So that's that. Hopefully, the 2ww will pass quickly. We're going to Houston next weekend to catch a few Astros games and relax. It was suppose to be a weekend with a few friends, but they had to cancel so I'm looking forward to it being just the 2 of us. A much-needed getaway.
