The IUI That Worked, From the Other Mother's Perspective

Today was our first and only IUI. I say only because as J posted previously, this is the one that we firmly believe will work.

After driving 2+ hours back and forth from summer school to the RE's office, we were pretty disappointed that we weren't able to try yesterday. But as we sat in the exam room after the procedure giggling with excitement today, I know that once again there is a reason for everything. Everything feels so RIGHT this time, from beginning to end. The ultrasound tech held nothing back and said almost immediately, "yep, that egg sure did drop". After short trip to Meijer to kill time, the ovulation specialist told us that not only did our sperm have excellent count but also great motility (25% classified as "high motility").

So, now we wait. For the last time.

Oh, and J wanted me to post this picture. She wore her rainbow socks for good luck. :)
