I was feeling kinda crampy last night and decided to take an OPK just to see what was going on. I got a positive last night and again this morning, and I called the doc right away last night and left a message - they called me this morning and I went in at 11:45 for my ultrasound.
The doctor said my lining looked good (9.1mm), and I had one follie on my left side that was 24mm, which he says is good. I got my hcG shot, which didn't hurt at the time, but hurts now....my hip is sore! Grouper will drop off his "contribution" at 7:30am, I'll go in at 8:30 for my IUI. The doc recommended that we do 2 IUIs this cycle, so we'll repeat the process on Wednesday. I'm excited, but I probably shouldn't be as excited as I am.
The doc also said that if this cycle doesn't work, we may need to consider doing an SA to test for DNA fragmentation issues with Grouper's sperm. The test is somewhat expensive and the doc said that there's no point in doing it this month, but if our IUIs don't work, we should consider it. I'm not going to worry about that until we have to, hopefully it's not even an issue.
Wish us luck......
