Argh... The nurse called me back and says that they can't do the IUI today, but that we'll do it tomorrow AM. It also means that he needs to collect the sperm deposit at his office in a sterile cup, instead of at the RE's office in the back room with the porno mags and videos.
The thing that really worries me is that they want us to get busy the old fashioned way tonight! I kept saying, "Are you sure?? My husband has borderline counts and he wants to save up a big deposit for tomorrow." She said, "Yes, we know, but we don't want to take the chance of missing the egg. This is what Dr W recommends."
So now I am really fretting about that. So much that I am thinking about making a special trip to his office this afternoon for a little lovin', just to give him about 7 extra hours to replenish his swimmers. I'm waiting for him to call me back to let me know what he thinks.
This isn't supposed to be stressful, but it is, somehow!

Almost 2 years ago (November 2006), I stopped the pill. I somehow thought that it would take a few months to get pregnant, but I never truly imagined the journey that was ahead of us. But, 4 IUIs and 1 IVF/ICSI later, here I am...
About Me
My TTC History
February 2005 - Met S...
February 2006 - Engaged to S...
October 2006 - Married S!
November 2006 - Stopped my Yasmin OCPs, read TCOYF, and started immediately starting charting (Fertility Awareness Method). I ovulate every month, although the day of ovulation has varied from CD15 to CD26.
March 2007 - Started using OPKs.
June 2007 - Start testing. My TSH, prolactin, estradiol, and FSH are all normal. Unfortunately, S's semen analysis shows OK count and motility, but poor morphology. We are told to "keep trying for 4 more months."
August 2007 - HSG normal.
October 2007 - S's repeat semen analysis now has borderline count, too. Met with RE. An ultrasound shows that my ovaries look polycystic! Do I have PCOS, too? I start Metformin ER 1000 mg bid. Saline sonohystogram shows normal uterus, no polyps or fibroids.
November 2007 - S goes to urologist. Has scrotal ultrasound to look for varicoceles and bloodwork, but we have never received the results. Apparently we have to make another appointment to get the results. S starts some sort of herbal male fertility supplement.
November/December 2007 - Clomid/IUI#1 - negative. Clomid 50 mg CD3-7 yields 2 good follicles. 11 million total motile sperm post-wash.
December 2007/January 2008 - Clomid/IUI#2 - negative. Clomid 50 mg CD3-7 yields 1 giganto-follicle and 2 medium follicles. 11.4 million total motile sperm post-wash.
January/February 2008 - Clomid/IUI#3 - negative. Clomid 50 mg CD3-7 yields 1 16 mm follicle on CD12. 11.8 million total motile sperm post-wash.
February/March 2008 - Unmedicated IUI. No info on follicles, but ovulated on CD15. 19 million total motile sperm post-wash.
April 2008 - Moving on to IVF with ICSI.
May 11, 2008 - BFP on Mother's Day 2008!
