I triggered yesterday with ovidrel and tomorrow is the IUI. I'm feeling a little nervous and scared about the whole process. I'm hoping that this will be the first and last of our IUI's but I also realize that not everyone is that lucky. I was such a chicken about the shot. I went into the bathroom and prepared the area and needle. I kept telling myself "just do it quick" but my arm wouldn't budge. So DH had to come in and do it for me. He did really well too because it was quick and painless. Good thing one of isn't a chicken! I keep wondering if I have already ovulated and the timing is off. I'm hoping that when we go in tomorrow that it will be perfect and everything will happen like its supposed to. I read somewhere online all these tips of what you can do to make your IUI successful and one of them was to visualize the actual fertilization process happening in your mind, well I have been doing that at least once a day for the past week and I also plan on doing it tomorrow afterward. I know it sounds like a lot of mumbo jumbo but mind over matter right? It doesn't hurt to do it anyway. I'm hoping with all our bd-ing and the IUI that this will be the month for us! Here goes nothing!

Hey Airforcewife!

I'm a coastie wife and we did our first IUI yesterday morning. We have been ttc for 20 months and DH had a varicocele repair in May. I took 5mg of Femera and then 100iu of Follistim (for 4 nights) and .5 Ovidrel 250MCG/.5ML for the trigger. By last Wednesday I had 8 follies and on Friday I had 6 that were at least a 20! We decided to move forward with the IUI anyway knowing that our chances for multiples are increased and that I am likely (verses possibly) to have symptoms of OHSS.

Anyway, my DH had to do my shots too while I buried my face into a pillow, lol!! He did a great job though. We are hoping that this is our first and last IUI as well ~ I think "cautiously excited" describes how we are feeling. After 20 months, I am naturally pessamistic and afraid to get excited about possibilities. I have been burned by "symptoms" for so long now that I am trying not to even follow any of the tww websites this time. We'll see....

I would love to hear how you are doing for the next couple of weeks as we are almost exactly on the same schedule this month! Best of luck today and I will keep you in my prayers!
