I was given a gown, luxury! The nurses helped me on to the chair and I even had a flat-screen next to me so I could see everything going on. The doctor measured my uterus with the ultrasound wand and measured the follicles on my ovaries. Apparently it's gonna be a lefty this month.
The wand was a much better experience than with the uterus-ruler thing! No cramping, no pain, over in 3 minutes. This doctor IS the one. He shall now be known as Dr. B.
He kinda looks like this too.
So I now have my ovarian scan with him on Friday. Oh, and he's going to trigger me with an HCG injection and not a suppository which I feel more comfortable about. And I'm sure my downstairs bits will be much happier about that too. Hmm I'm getting excited about this! Well
maybe a bit apprehensive too. But it's a much bigger chance of actually getting PG than before.
He also suggested that Mr. T go to see a urologist. Finally. I wanted him to do this for a while but no one recommended it. He's going there to have a scan to check for any blockages or damage to the dangly collection of objects he keeps in his trousers. Time for him to get a taste of what we ladies go through, with all the poking, prodding and general loss of dignity! Well, I hope it's not too bad. No. Really I do. Hee, hee. The appointment is tomorrow. That's another great thing about doing it here. You can get an appointment at the click of your fingers.
So I have a couple of questions for you ladies out there that have done IUI before: Have you done more than one insemination over your fertile period? If so does that mean hubbie's sperm has to be frozen? Also, is it safe to go swimming after IUI? If so how long after the IUI? Are chlorine pools a BIG no-no if you are TTC? I'm running a Summer camp for kids and we swim everyday so I just need to know when it's safe to go back into the water...
Eeek, at least whatever happens with me, it can never be THIS bad.
