4/12/2017 0 Comments iui, reporting back!So I didn't get the chance to write after the IUI because I got home and just laid down. It was NOT pleasant. So an IUI is when they put sperm in a catheter and then inject it into your uterus. As you read, I did a medicated cycle, which means that I took Clomid to get my follicles ready and then when they were just right I did a trigger shot that night to make sure I ovulated two days later. I went in on Sunday morning for the IUI.
They said I might have some "mild cramping"... Uh, no. It hurt like a bitch! I think the nurse had trouble finding my cervix in there and I also think that I'm just predisposed to having pain in that region anyway. Basically I just went in the room, laid on the table and it took about five minutes. J had to hold my hand because it really hurt. I thought I'd be up for brunching after, but no. We took a cab home. It only cramped for a few hours, but I don't think I personally could have gone back to work after that. Now we wait! My blood test to find out what's going on will be on April 24th. If it's positive, I go for another one a few days later. Feelings: I feel nervous. I got that job! (Yay!) and I guess I'm really hopeful that I'm pregnant but if I am, I'll feel guilty about taking a job and getting pregnant right away. I don't think I can win in this situation, though, so I'll have to count everything as a blessing. We'll see what happens. The job thing is great, though! I'm really excited to get back to using my brain more. Other feelings: I think we're a little bit more okay with having a donor now. J was down about it but he's starting to come around. I felt nervous the day before the IUI but now I'm just hoping that it all works out and we have a little addition to our family. Fingers crossed (FX)
