IUI Christmas Eve and an uncomfortable moment

So, I had my ultrasound on Sat and I have 2 follies on the left and none on the right.  (Its weird, the first couple of cycles, I had one on each ovary, now I always get two on the left.)

Anyhoo - I trigger late tonight and the IUI Christmas Eve morning.  I am hopeful - I had the HSG this cycle and there is some evidence that that can help.  I hope so.

And my uncomfortable moment, my fertile time is over Christmas when my parents will be staying with us.  My husband and I have a pretty firm "No sex with visitors in the house" rule and this is kind of awkward.  Also, they know about our IF and that I will be having the IUI that morning.  They will be able to connect the dots.  I am just dreading the "I know what you two did last night" looks.  (Actually, I know that they would never do this, it's just the possibility that they could, you know?)

OK, I am done babbling.

    Okay, so I am with you on the sex in the house when you have visitors.  There is a certain wierd factor to it although pp is right about it being better when you have to be discreet.

    You lose me on the IUI on Christmas eve and having to have sex cause you are fertile, and your parents giving you the side eye because they 'know what you have been up to'.  Am I mising something or am I just dense?Huh?

    My RE just always encourages us to have sex on the day of and the days after my IUI.  I guess his thinking is that you never know whoch one of those little guys is goign to make it through and the more the merrier.  My DH refers to it as his "sex machine" time.  Wink

    AHAAAA!!!  Now I am with you!  I was beginning to think IUI meant something different than what I thought it didStick out tongue

    LOL at 'sex machine' time!  That's funny!

    I don't know that I would have told my parents when we were doing an IUI.  It seems like a little TMI for them to know.  Last thing I want is my Dad with a visual you know?  Anyhoo, I wouldn't let visitors deter you from your goal here.  Believe me, your parents KNOW you are having sex and would probably know you well enough to tell exactly when even if you try to hide it.  Sex is a natural part of babymaking and considering how much you have shared with them already about your situation I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just play it cool.Cool
