First IUI tomorrow!

stellasoostellasoo member
in TTC after 35
I have my first IUI tomorrow and I'm so excited that I can hardly stand it! We didn't expect to be at this point until early next week. My ultrasound was originally scheduled for tomorrow to check follicle size. My BBT dropped today, which usually happens right before ovulation, so I took an OPK this morning. I was shocked to see it was positive because I've never ovulated anywhere near this early (today is day 9). I went in for the ultrasound this morning and I have 1 follicle that's 23, 2 that are in the 19 - 21 range and 1 that is 17. 

I'm hoping my chances are good with 4 follicles. My gut is telling me this isn't the month but I so so so want it to be.

    Great news ! I O'd last month around day 9 too. Also very odd. Maybe something in the weather change?
    TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.  
    Maya Arvigo Abdominal massage (daily self care), plus TTC meditations.
    I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
    July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
    DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
    Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 
    Seriously considering IVF in March/April
    12/17/14 - Natural BFP!

    Thanks everyone! The IUI went well, other than the fact that the vial flew out of the nurse's hands when she walked in the room. Her and I both gasped as we watched it go across the room but thankfully it was fine.

    I'm feeling positive but cautious about getting too hopeful. DH's sperm count after the wash was 81 million. The IUI was at 9:30 and I definitely felt strong ovulation pains in the late afternoon so I'm hoping one of those swimmers can manage to find an egg.

    In a very strange way, the IUI almost puts my mind at ease because it feels more scientific. I like knowing that I'll know either way in 14 days and that's that.
