Wish me luck!

in TTC after 35

I am doing the trigger shot tonight, IUI on Tuesday.  I am nervous/excited/scared.  We miscarried in October and I am praying this works!

Does anyone have any thoughts/advice?  I'd love to hear your stories.

    Good luck! I just triggered this afternoon for my own IUI tomorrow morning.  I take it you haven't triggered before?  If not, my advice is: ice the area (before cleaning it with alcohol) before shooting yourself up.  I don't know if the little needle even hurts at all anyway, but the first time I did it the fact that I was "numb" gave me the nerve to stick it in.  Also, just be ready for the fact that the IUI takes like 2 minutes and it's over -- it feels so momentous but procedurally it's nothing, which is still so weird to me.  I guess my only other advice, more of a comment, is: lots of people get KU on their first IUI, and I hope that happens for you.  But I'm on my 5th, and one thing I've learned is that IUI does this weird thing to one's hopes/expectations--because it's "scientific," it seems like it should just work right away.  And sometimes it doesn't (as of course you already know).  And I've had to learn how to deal with that.  But I sure hope you don't!!! Good luck!

    Thanks for the advice.  I did the shot last night... I was actually shocked (a little concerned) because it didn't hurt.

    I appreciate your thoughts.  It's nice to hear from someone who has been through it!  I am tempering my expectations, which is the hardest part of all of this.

    Good luck to you too!
