IUI and days after...

So hubby had his 'donation appointment' on Monday at 8a.m. and then I was to go in at 10 a.m., after his little guys were washed and ready! The nurse said "Well we only needed 3 million and your husband gave us 34 million, tell him good job!" with a big smile on her face. :) She had me lay down with my feet in the stirrups (no I didn't get a meal first, lol) while she used a speculum to position my cervix....and 60 seconds and a couple pinches later I was all done! She used a long straw looking device to insert the sperm through my cervix and then set a timer for me to lay there for 15 minutes. I laid there, calmly, and played solitaire on my iPhone. I teased my hubby that we are going to have a solitaire baby! haha

After my 15 minutes were up she asked that I come in the next day to make sure that my follicle had burst aka: ovulated for sure. This shocked and worried me...I guess I figured that since I was given the HCG shot, that was it. They said it's a great way to determine that the dose I was given was enough in the event that this treatment fails. Eww I hate that word: FAIL. So I went in the next day, hesitantly, and had yet another ultrasound only to get great news! I now have what they call a Corpus Luteum cyst. That type of cyst forms when the mature egg pops out. It's like the leftover housing unit that tells my body there's a possibility of a future pregnancy. Go ahead and google the rest since I am no doctor, lol.

So since everything has been deemed 'Perfect' for my first cycle I was given some Progesterone suppositories to take to help support my lining for future baby. I insert one in the morning and one at night, they are pretty messy and I feel hormonal for sure. Just feeling kinda tired and yucky if that makes sense. (going to bed very soon in fact)

I'm now going to play the waiting game and hope that there is a baby in the making. <3 I will check in with some news in a few weeks. Those of you who are my friends both in life and on Facebook, I ask that you support me in not discussing this event anymore until I reveal the news. I would like to remain stress free and just enjoy life! Feel free to message on my blog and I will hopefully be checking regularly.

Thanks for all the support and prayers that you have given. Means the world to us!
Love,
Laine
