I went for my CD10 blood work and US. They found lefty right away and I have a couple of 14mm. Then like usual it took them a while to find righty. When she did she got quiet. She measured a couple things and then told me "you have a 20mm follicle on your right". My jaw dropped! 20mm!!!!! On CD10!!!! What the heck? I was told to trigger today and come in tomorrow for the IUI! We will see what the spermie count is tomorrow and we might do another one on Monday.
At first I got a little worried. The Hubby and I try to plan it out so we abstain for 2 days before the IUI. We had planned on "resetting his balls" (as he calls it LOL!) this morning when I got back thinking it would be like last time and the IUI would be either Monday or Tuesday. We couldn't do that because then it would be less than 24 hours. The last time we did the horizontal polka was Wednesday night so that means tomorrow will be 3 1/2 days. I hope we get a good sample. Also, if we end up doing a second IUI it will only be a 24 hour sample the second time. I don't know how good it will be because of his low count already. We will see what she suggests tomorrow.
I have a big very strange favor to ask. I have been thinking a lot about my Poppy (Grandpa) recently. He died 2 years ago in January. I am working on a post about him. Well, he told me that rubbing a pregnant belly is good luck. He had me rub 2 of them at my wedding LOL! All you pregnant ladies out there, I don't care how far along you are, would you give your belly a little rub and think of me? I would really appreciate it.
I would also appreciate any good thoughts and prayers and crossing of anything. I am putting so much of me into this. I have found my hope again and I have such a strong feeling right now it is bringing me to tears.
Tomorrow we had planned on moving furniture. My Nana sold her house and my friend and I are taking furniture she can't fit in her condo. I am taking a couple special pieces that my Poppy either made or were special to him. Anyway, I know I shouldn't be lifting things just in case so thank goodness there will be 3 strong men so I can lay low and still don't have to tell anyone that I just had an IUI.
I know some of you out there are going through some rough times right now. Bad news, stressful 2WWs and other things. I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. I love you guys! This is for you.
I love Van Morrison, but I'm feelin Rod Stuart tonight.

You know how I feel about people rubbing my belly, but for you, I just rubbed it. In fact, I'd even let you rub it for luck just this once. I hope it helps! Good luck, that sounds like quite a promising egg!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. It means a lot to me! I hope that is the egg!
DeleteBest of luck. I don't have a belly to rub, but I'll be thinking about you and hoping anyway. I could rub my cat's belly...but he's a male, and I don't think that will help you. ;) Everything crossed!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Go ahead and rub your cats belly! At this point I will do anything for some extra luck LOL!
DeleteGood luck!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteNo belly rubbing for me, but I will keep you in my best thoughts.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I happen to be a big believer in the power of not over-planning (even though I do it all the time:) )
Yea, I kinda like how nothing went according to plan! Makes me feel good! Thanks!
DeleteGood to hear about V!
ReplyDeleteLol, that is so like something my husband would say! I'll have to tell him.
Best of luck to you!!
Thanks! LOL yea he really knows how to make things a ton less serious!
DeleteHusband is only upset that he didn't come up with such a genius phrase. He 'clears the inventory.'
DeleteLOL That't good too!
DeleteCan't wait to here how your IUI goes!!!!
ReplyDeleteOoh, that's great news! Glad to hear it girl!!
ReplyDeleteKeeping you in my thoughts and prayers. If I do turn out to be pregnant tomorrow I'll rub my belly and think of you.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. Keeping you and Hope in my thoughts and prayers too!
DeleteSending bucket loads of good thoughts and wishes your way!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
