And hopefully last! :)
We had 2 back to back IUIs on Tuesday and Wednesday. It was 10 days of Gonal-F injections leading up to it, I was so nervous for it. But I think it went well, our numbers were great, above the minimum so that's a positive. I ovulated 1 egg on Tuesday and still had 3-4 more on Wednesday so they gave me another trigger shot. I had so much pain on Wednesday, I hope it was just ovulation pain and nothing serious like the sperm not being washed properly. I had to take the day off work and honestly it brought back so many memories of my c-section last year. The pain was identical, not fun.
Anyways so now we sit back and let nature do it's thing. I can't help but be pessimistic. All I do is read about other couples whom IUI did not work for, and who had much better odds than us. So why would it work for us, I ask myself? Because we're good people, because we follow rules, because we deserve a break? That's exactly why I feel like it WON'T work for us. So of course, I'm not getting my hopes up. I'm trying to stay cautiously optimistic.
So now the longest two weeks of our lives. If this doesn't work, we will try it again in January and then see where we can go from there.
Any prayers or wishes greatly appreciated at this time :)
