today's day 10 and my ovulation monitor says it could be an ovulation day. this didn't please me especially, since it's not an IUI day. but i knew it was coming -- i had "high fertility" indicators both saturday and sunday on the monitor. and ya know what? even though they don't recommend having sex right before IUI, we made good use of those high fertility days this weekend. my hunch is that was not a bad decision, for a variety of reasons. :) and since we're not doing the insemination until tomorrow, it'll still be almost 48 hours for the hubby's sperm stores to regroup and for my innards to clean themselves out. in my medical opinion, that is a-ok.
and when i went to the doctor this morning, they could see that i was close to ovulation but that the process hadn't started yet. she said depending on how the follicles look tomorrow, we might only do one insemination this cycle... but who knows. the body is very unpredictable. the past two cycles i've worried that we've done the IUI too early; all signs were pointing to ovulation so they pushed ahead, but it took longer to happen than they expected. so maybe this is a better deal. AND the double dose of injections has definitely made an impact. i have follicles in both ovaries: one super large one in each, and two or three medium sized ones that might also develop in time. bonus!
so tonight i give myself the ovulation trigger shot, which i don't think is necessary but i understand them needing to cover all the proverbial bases, and we go in tomorrow morning for another exciting adventure in insemination!
