DH and I just had our first IUI procedure done today. Was a breeze! We triggered 2 days ago, I have 4 mature follicles ripe and ready. We have had issues with DH's sperm, which wound us up here (after 2 MC's in a year. However, today for the procedure, his sample was the best it ever has been. He over-exceeded their "numbers they like to see". They like at least 20 million sperm- his was 84 million and way above the motility and morphology percentages (they do have the right sample right!?!?) As we left today... all we could think of was 84 million sperm and 4 ready follicles.... HOLY MOLY. I have a few semi-serious heart conditions (which puts me high risk with one child on board, they said when we got the go-ahead to originally start trying on our own that twins would be even more challenging for my heart, as they run in both our fams without infertility treatment!) The 2 week wait for the HCG blood testing is already starting to feel like an eternity with all these thoughts in my head! (not even counting the 2 weeks after that until the first ultrasound if we get to be so lucky!) The nurse said that if needed, they could inject some fluid into one of the sacs and "make one go away." After trying for a year and losing 2 already to MC's.... I don't know how in the world I could accept or allow that. Not to mention... how do you even chose which one?!? Don't think I could live with that. I guess I'll just wait and cross that path if needed. But my mind keeps wandering! Any thoughts guys???

Re: 1st IUI today... Racing mind and thoughts! Multiples?!
Ditto this, BUT you and your husband need to have a serious discussion about selective reduction before it becomes an issue if your health could really be in such jeopardy with a multiples pregnancy.
