I went to the fertility clinic last Monday for an ultrasound, bloods, and my HSG. Well, the bloods went fine. And the ultrasound showed ... shoot! Just one stinking follicle. (The purpose of Clomid was to produce more than 1 follicle.) Well, that follicle was a 20 and the nurse practitioner decided to trigger me for insemination the next day.
No HSG. Instead, I have to wait a month for that little bit of fun. I hate it when they change tracks on me like that. So I triggered that night and had my IUI the next day (12 hours later). I am just still confused about an IUI at 12 hours, since I have heard and read all alond the trigger takes 36-40 hours to work and frozen sperm lasts 12-24 hours. So if the egg comes out at 36 hours, the last dying sperm have no time to work their way in to the center of the egg. Maybe I'm just a worrywart. Who knows. But it was still a surprise to trigger and insem so quickly.
Well, I am now taking Prometrium for 11 days after the IUI. I had my IUI on Tuesday and started the pills on Thursday. Let's just say they aren't exactly fun. I am awake at all hours, I seep goop (they are taken vaginally) and I get too hot as I sleep. On the plus side, though, they may just be the thing I need to make a pregnancy stick.
Hopefully. We'll see.
