My CD14 ultrasound was today!  And I got great news.  My lining is perfect and I have one beautiful 22mm follicle!  I nearly fell off the table when the nurse said, "OK so your IUI will be Sunday morning and you'll trigger tonight."  AUGH!!  I don't normally ovulate until CD18 or so, and I was still at low on my CBEFM.  I was actually really afraid they'd tell me they couldn't see anything and I'd have to go back for another u/s 2 days later. So this was unexpected and very exciting!  I was slightly disappointed there was only one follicle, but the nurse said that was "optimal" and that we were doing ovulation induction and not super ovulation, and this is exactly what we wanted.

I just cannot believe this is all real.   I made my first phone call to the RE on November 12.  So this has all happened in just over a MONTH!  I can hardly believe it's happened so fast, but I'm SO happy.  I love everything about my RE's office and I feel comfortable knowing that if this cycle doesn't work, I've got a team of people ready to move on and get me pregnant and not waste any time about it.

I have to do my trigger shot in three hours and that's the ONE thing I'm anxious about.  Once I get past that, I'll be completely excited.  I have no problem with shots (I don't think you can battle IF and NOT be OK with shots!) but administering them myself is new to me.  And mentally I'm having a hard time dealing with it!  I want DH to do it, but he wasn't at the teaching visit so it would probably be best if I do it.  Anyway, in three hours that will be over.  Then I have two glorious, relaxing weeks off of work and away from my students (who I love but who exhaust me).  I get to enjoy the holidays, focus on myself, and hopefully get pregnant!  Eek!  Fingers are crossed!
