So, the IUI went really great today!!!
Last time I had a temporary doctor do the IUI because my regular RE was out of town. It was pretty horrible and it took like 5 tries to get the catheter in the correct place. I was cramping and bleeding pretty bad when I left there so I had a bad impression of IUI's.
This time I had my regular doctor and it went SOOOO smooth! It didn't hurt at all! He did say that Dr. G had made a "roadmap" on my chart with the easiest way to get to my cervix because supposedly I have a very sharp anterior curve (whatever the heck that means!) so that made it easier this time around. Regardless, I'm just so pleased with my experience today! It's always an uncomfortable situation but when it goes so fast - it makes it better!
I'm truly believing that everything is just going so smoothly this month! I haven't had the stress or anxiety at all and I'm remaining very positive! After having such a great experience today - I know that this cycle has to work! I honestly think that the timing was better this go around as well... cervix was open and last time Dr. G said it was closed!
So, you knew there had to be some bad news...right?
Mike's count went DOWN! :( It was 5 million post wash today and last cycle it was 7.2mil. I was pretty upset but the doctor didn't seem concerned and said motility was better. I have to remember that it only takes one! (Thanks to the girls that tell me their success stories - it really helps me stay positive!)
Overall it was a good day and I'm totally board from laying on the couch - but whatever it takes to make sure those spermies meet my eggies! (yes, I might be secretly hoping that they have a double date in my uterus! LOL)
Off to watch more TV....

I'm sooo soooo happy it went so well Angie!! :) Everything just seemed so much easier this go round, even with the meds. I'm praying like crazy for you both. Now, keep all the stress away...yep, I'm talking about your BOSS...she is not aloud to get you upset in this 2ww. Hugs!!
You are pg right now girl! I have a good feeling about this cycle, I have read somewhere that the ease of the procedure (iui or embryo transfer) is a big predictor of success. Secretly praying for a double date for you as well. Prayers up, keep up the good work with the relaxed attitude, I'm super impressed! And how could a reality tv junkie get bored on the couch watching t.v. ;)
I am so glad this time around things went so smoothly!
I am hoping and praying right along with you that this is IT!
