I was a nervous wreck all morning. The swimmer clinic processed the guys in about 45 minutes. We then had to transport them the 2 blocks back to Dr. H's office. They have to be kept warm so Dean kept them in his pocket with his hand around them.
The actual process only took about 5 minutes. When we were done, Dean says, "So was it as good for you as it was for me?" I say, "It was awesome!" Dr. H and his nurse cracked up at that one! Then I had to lay still on my back for 20 minutes. There was only a little bit of pain because everything was tender from ovulating. Cramps lasted about 2 hours afterwards, and that was it! I laid on the couch all day long hoping to help the guys swim to their goal!
I go next Wednesday for blood work to check my progesterone and then again the following Wednesday for a pregnancy test! Oh the dreaded 2 week wait begins!
Grateful for:
- My awesome RE who made this cycle an option for us.
- Husband's increased swimmer counts - his count, motility, and morphology were better than they have ever been!
- The prayers and support from my family and friends.
7 nice things to say...:
I am glad it is over for you. You can relax and enjoy the possibility now!
I'm thinking good thoughts for you! Will you do any early testing?
Hey there! I've been following all your blogs on here.. just have posted a comment yet! I've got my fingers, toe's, legs, arms, EVERYTHING crossed for you and send prayers your way! I can't wait!
I've been on the fence about early testing. I hope I can hold out and wait for the test at the RE's office. I might break down next week and POAS!
Just popping in to say that I'll be crossing all of my crossables for you!
Best of luck (and patience) on your 2ww!!!
I'm crossing my fingers for you! I will be trying like heck to hold out on testing too. I'm really really going to try not to.
