December 8,2009~ IUI day!!!!

I had a hard time sleeping the night before. I was so excited!! We went together and had to be there at 11:00 for Brad to make his deposit. After that we did not have to be back until 1:30. Neither of us was hungry so we decided to go over to Rocky Mountain Sports and dream a little. We got back about 1:15 and they were running late. We did not get called back until about 2:20. We were so nervous and the waiting just added to that. We were finally called back and it was showtime. They had me undress from the waist down. Of course I got a little smack on the tush from the peanut gallery as I was jumping up on the table. Just like home! I tell ya dealing with infertility will bring you closer than you ever imagined.

Dr. Toledo came in pretty quick and seemed so very optimistic. We was very happy to see that the progression was 3 on a scale of 0-4. He told Brad he was one step down from Michael Phelps. Overall count was acceptable but with the progression being a 3he felt more confident. Dr. T was also very happy with my response to Clomid. We had 4 mature follicles. The more targets the better!

The insemination itself was quick and painless. No worse than an annual pap. They had me lay there for about 15 minutes with my hips elevated. Of course we giggled and joked while we waited then went on our way!

We had not eaten since lunch so we went to Olive Garden for soup and salad. It was a dreary day so perfect for gniocchi soup. Brad was so funny. He just could not decompress. He said he had never had this feeling before. It was super cute and made me fall in love with him even more, if that is possible. He was filled with excitement and optimism. It was contagious. We had a nice late lunch then headed home to relax.

And then the waiting....... 14 long days until we will know if this did the trick!!! I know we have many people praying for us. I am praying for our Christmas MIRACLE!!!
