Did the IUI Saturday....

I went in Saturday for the IUI.  Everything went fine.  DH's sperm count was very good (+40 million after the wash).  Now it's just a matter of waiting.

I had some spotting when I came home, which I assume is normal.  It's stopped now.  Now I just feel really bloated...can't tell if it's gas, ovulation, constipation or a combination of the three?  I thought I was ovulating yesterday (Saturday), because I had the trigger shot Friday, but my temp hasn't gone up today (Sunday)so don't know if I've ovulated.

I go back in to the dr tomorrow (Monday) for an u/s to see if I've ovulated...and if not, then we'll do another round of IUI.

I was surprised...the cost of IUI was about $170, plus the $75 for the trigger shot, and $33 for each u/s.  Initially when I talked to the dr, he said it was about $400-$500 for the IUI, but I guess that's his estimate including all the add ons?  A pleasant surprise, one way or the other!

I've been 'prescribed' enforced bedrest (or couch rest...either way, sitting on my ass rest...) by my DH for the next few days...so I'll be twiddling my thumbs, staring at walls, cross stitching...whatever it takes to entertain me.

Glad to hear it went well!!! 40+ million - that rocks!!!! My DH only had abut 7 million after the wash when I got preggo with Bailey. :) I spotted after mine too - I think it is from them sticking the catheter through your cervix.

Great price on the IUI!!! Mine were like $500 last summer (meds, appointments ultrasounds) per cycle last summer.

Keep us posted - here is to a BFP in a few weeks!

Thanks. 

I guess w/that many little sperms running around, it's like winning the lottery if one makes it?  I laughed when the nurse said 'it only takes one.' It takes one...but it takes umpteen million of them to find the 'one.'

Great numbers.    Lots of luck!    : )  

Thanks Julie.

How are you doing?  No more spotting I hope?

How exciting!!!! I am just thrilled for you.....and listen to your DH :)

Cannot wait to continue tracking your story....prayers and hugs to you!!!

Thanks.  I'm listening to DH about most things...sitting here working on my cross stitching (it's a big, complicated one I'm working on...so I might actually make some progress)...

How's Nathan?  Still have an unset tummy?  Hope he's feeling better soon.  It's hard enough on you being a 'single mommy' w/o being a single mommy w/a sick baby.

HUGS!!!!

Thank you.

here's to happy fertilization and implantation!
