IUI # 2

Where to begin...
For my second IUI, I have been getting monitored frequently to prevent any follicles from getting too big (as was the case with IUI # 1).  Friday was my last monitoring appointment and the RE sent me home with instructions to trigger on Sunday night.

Friday:
Follies: R: 16mm, 14mm, 9.5mm; L: 11 mm, 10mm, 9mm, 8mm
Estrogen: 359
Lining: 10

With two more days for my follicles to mature before trigger, I imagine I may have had two good follies this time around.  I can honestly say that this time I can feel my ovaries aching.  I know that may sound weird, but I am somewhat uncomfortable.  The nurse thought this was a very good thing....as pessimistic as I am I thought this meant I may be hyperstimulated.  Time will tell.

Monday:
IUI went great this morning.  Hubs had great numbers!  Also, as I sit here writing this entry my sides are aching!!! I don't know if this means I am ovulating right now or am about to or already have, but it hurts! I don't know how to explain it, but I feel really good this time around.  Hopefully I had more than one follicle and just something in my gut tells me that I deserve this already.

I have another IUI tomorrow.  In the meantime I will be chugging pedialyte just in case my ovaries are overstimulated.  Hopefully this will also help with any cysts I may develop.

I am going to stay off the radar for a while. I have a busy two week wait ahead of me.  I don't want to jinx anything.  Plus, I am usually pretty depressing to listen to during the wait.  Sometimes I look back at past posts and thing "wow I am really whiny".  I am going to try to stop that and think nothing but positive thoughts. 

Wishing all my TTC ladies luck!
