IUI

Well - it is done.

Holy Cow.  It feels very weird to be sitting here and I could have a fertilized egg or eggs vying for a spot to implant in my uterine wall right this moment.
Everyone was so happy when I got to the Dr's office yesterday.  Especially the Dr.  I kept thinking, why wouldn't he be.  He gets to play with my vagina and I paid him 500bux to do so!
I laid there while he talked about Google and how people sometimes read too much.  He was glad to hear that I haven't polluted my mind as much as other women he's had in.  He skillfully inserted the speculum and positioned his bright light on my carefully, newly shaved Hoohoo.  I lay there listening to him, taking deep breaths and trying to keep relaxed.  He took the catheter and inserted it thru my cervix.  No, it did not feel at all nice.  He commented on how it went in beautifully.  Xcellent!  Lyle's guys looked good and there were lots of them.  I had asked.  Gotta know what the product is going in.  Then I lay there a few minutes, to let it 'settle' after he left staring at the ceiling.  They should really paint the ceiling or get new tiles in or something I thought.
The staff was beaming when I came out of the room.  Kim so excited for me.  She gave me my prescription for progesterone (Prometrium) that I must insert vaginally each night.  It helps keep the uterine lining stable for implantation.  Hey, I'll do whatever it takes to make my uterine lining zygote friendly!  If I am pregnant, I take it for the whole first trimester.
I came home and laid on the couch.  Legs up on the back of the couch to just give my uterus a nice level, non moving environment.  It was so odd laying there thinking, I could be fertilizing right that moment.  I have 3 shots in there.  Crazy to think about.  I was crampy for the evening.  My uterus, really making itself known.  Once I took the progestrone, the icky stopped.  So that is cool.  Feel great this morning!
So now the waiting begins.  I am supposed to test in 2 weeks.
I am so crazy aware of my body.  We'll see how it goes.  I will probably end up testing earlier.
I wish I could share all of this with my Sister.  she did this too.  But I can't.  makes me sad.
