#4

we did the IUI yesterday and all went well, as usual. the specimen was especially great for some reason: 96 million and 61% motility! the doctor was super impressed. and it's really funny what those stats do for the hubby's machismo. the doc said that i would probably ovulate yesterday afternoon or last night, based on the size of the follicle and the fact that i got the trigger shot on friday morning... but my monitor still hasn't given me the sign. as of this morning it still said high fertility but no ovulation. of course, there was another cycle during the IUI process when it thought that i never ovulated. and i do feel like i'm ovulating. so i'm not super concerned. we also gave it another try on our own this morning, so that can only help matters. at this point, i'm not stressing over it. it will work, or we'll move onto phase 3. i go back to the doctor tomorrow so that they can check my ovulation and hormone levels, and then they'll tell me what our next steps are. as long as there are next steps, i can't complain.
