Just sitting here waiting at the RE for my CD 12 us! Praying for follies on the right so we can move forward with our first iui!!
UPDATE: So I went this morning for a rescan, and I was right. The major cramping I felt last night was in fact O pains and all three follies were gone this morning. My lining was great measuring at 8.4, the tech said she saw fluid in my pelvic cavity indicating that I am "in the ovulation process". So I go for IUI #1 at 11:30 today!!!! I am SO thankful that we did a sperm freeze over the weekend because there is no way that hubby can get to the RE in the middle of his work day to give a sample. I am nervous/anxious/excited! I think I will treat myself to sushi for lunch, hoping that it is the last time I will be able to do that for awhile

I find I can excuse myself for working out due dates because I am just being "responsible" and getting a head start on planning for work, leave, maternity clothes, etc. Re-imagining this each month is one of the few fun parts of TTTC!
