TTC after 35
first IUI yesterday
I successfully made it through my first IUI procedure yesterday! I was so stressed about getting there on time, and him being able to perform under these circumstances because he was so stressed and anxious... in the end all went well. I had a few inappropriate laughs that he didn't appreciate... getting into the elevator with his paper bag filled with his sample, then again when we couldn't find the drop off location (because someone wasn't listening and just assumed I'd know!)... It's a simple procedure, sure, but it was surprising to me that it's done by a nurse. I'm a nurse and now I'm pretty excited to know that's a career option. How great would it be to possibly help people get pregnant?
Seems strange to know the sperm count, and to know how many million sperm were swimming around in my uterus.
Not stressing yet about "will it work?"... just focused on these gross suppositories! Relieved to have a few weeks off from injections and numerous ultrasounds during my period, and appointments. I'll just go to acupuncture and that's it.
