IUI #1 Today

with 67.5 MILLION sperm. The fertility problems obviously have nothing to do with my husband! We had a long talk with the nurse before the IUI, debating on whether or not to go through with it at all this time. I have 11 eggs that could have possibly become mature, but my estradiol levels do not match up with 11. At 1200 units, it actually matches up with about 6 mature eggs. So we compared this cycle to last cycle and discovered that we are in EXACTLY the same place as we were 2 years ago, and my Hcg "trigger" shot was cut by half in an attempt to prevent higher order multiples. So mathematically, based on last cycles #'s we have less of a chance of getting preggo with twins than we did last time. Last time I gave myself the full 10000units of Hcg "trigger". Here's to hoping and praying that all goes well. I am EXTREMELY bloated feeling. Very uncomfortable feeling. I remember this from last time now. It will pass in about 10 weeks. Eh, I'll survive. So we go back for IUI #2 tomorrow @ 0800 for an insemination at @1030! Wish us luck and we will say our prayers.
