First of all - please forgive typos I'm on my mobile.
Anyway, last night I began having pains in my right abdomen. I tried sucking it up but woke up @ 6 am still in pain. I wasn't running a temp but went to immediate care a few hours later. The md ruled out appendicitis and pregnancy...shocker, but told me that he noticed some swellingnear my ute & ovaries. He said he thought it was PID!
So ofcourse I called the gyno to get an appt. My gyno was out but the office said my RE could see me. To make a very long story short - it wasn't PID but she did notice that acyst had popped & possibly a follicle as well on my right side...weird?!
She also told me that I had 2 great looking follies on the left. I asked her about having an IUI and she said ok. I am scheduled to trigger 2morrowfor an IUI o Friday! What a crazy day! Of course with DHs MFI - it is a long shot but I would appreciate any prayers and luck from you guys!
OMG!!!!! I was thinking about you a few hours ago and desperately wanted an update from you (it was an irrationally intense desire to know what was going on with you...maybe I'm psychic, LOL). I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU! I have everything I can possibly cross crossed. I hope the long shot is lucky for you! Good Luck!
