IUI#3

Well, once again, the deed has been done.  I've been insperminated!

Today went pretty well, apart from how tired both DH and I are.  These 6-hour round trips can be exhausting to manage in the midst of working full-time and being involved with ministry.  We got to town early and I had an acupuncture appointment.  My home-town ND went to school with a girl from that city so she referred me there and sent her a list of all the points she normally does.  It was great!  Then DH went to do his part while I walked the dog (we brought her along this time).  We had a nice pho lunch downtown and then headed back for the IUI.  DH's results were great once again (50 million with 95% motility)!  I'm so glad that is not an issue for him, because I know how tough it would be for him.  The procedure was pretty much the same as the others.  We lay there for 15 minutes and that was it.

I didn't want to do much afterwards.  Last time we went for an evening walk after I had rested, but I felt like that would even be too much.  So we just got back in the car and drove home (I drank grape juice along the way).  Tonight our plan is to curl up with a movie (The 5-Year Engagement ... it's about the best pick right now for a chick-flick kind of movie that avoids the topic of babies), and try to do a little BD if we're not too tired...  I am in a bit more pain this time.  Kind of cramping in my uterus and when my bladder is full it HURTS!  I think that's a good sign though, since I kind of remember that from the first round.

So, there you have it!  Partially I felt pretty emotionally detached from things this time (maybe protectively?), but partially I do feel a bit of excitement now that it's over.   Here's to the 2ww being enjoyable and getting by quickly!
