Sooo excited.
We're on try number 4, IUI #3, and our first round with clomid.
When I went in for the trigger shot on Friday, all our hopes seemed to be dashed. It looked like only 1 egg would make it to maturity -and we'd have to come back on Monday for the trigger shot, because that 1 egg wasn't quite ready.. While we've been lucky to get an egg each cycle, we've only gotten AN egg. We wanted so much to get at least 2 eggs after switching to clom*d. Our spirits were a little low all weekend.
Three days made all the difference. This morning's ultrasound/trigger shot was an entirely different experience.
Laying on the table, I started to get nervous because the doctor was being very quiet. The only sound in the room was the clicking on the ultrasound machine, measurement after measurement being recorded. It felt like forever. I finally got up the courage to ask what she was seeing. She was seeing eggs. Eggs, eggs, and more eggs! So many that she did the measurements twice. We were teetering on the edge of having to cancel the cycle - so she wanted to be extra sure that she made the right call. I think total, there were about 10 eggs on the left ovary. No worries though. Only 4 are mature. The others are lagging behind a good bit. Absolutely nothing on the right ovary, which is par for the course...and a little worrisome.
We have 4 eggs!
First insem is tomorrow morning and then another the following day.
Whew. This is the polar opposite of how I was expecting to feel today.
Fingers crossed for some super swimmers!
