So here we go again. So you could check out my blog from my first IUI back in Feb to see how IUI schedule goes. But if you don't want to check it out....I'll give you the recap. But this time 10x better.
8:10 am - Arrive, register and pay $250.
8:15 am - DH gives sperm sample.
8:25 am - Produced swimmers, then go for brekky at Tim Horton's.
9:00 am - Back to clinic for sperm wash and wait for the procedure.
9:17 am - Here we go again. What's our sperm count? What's this? 110.7 mill sperm pre-wash, and 55 sperm post-wash? How is that there is like 10x the amount of sperm this time from last? Curious isn't it.
9:31 am - Into room for IUI. Here's the play by play....
- Spread legs
- Duck Beak in
- Can't find it? WTF, can't find what?
- Was about to put out a milk carton for my lost uterus
- What now? The catheter is too flimsy. Hurry up....That hurts.
- Changing of the catheter to a more rigid one
- Knees up, legs closed, 10 mins
- We are now delivering 9 pds babies 9 months from now. See you then.
Phew...That was easy.
Back at work, had to go pee....What's this? Mucus with red blood, and major cramps....This didn't happen last time?
That warrants a call to the clinic.
Talked to a nurse....She said because we farted around in the uterus trying to get fluid in could cause the blood. Or perhaps because the uterus isn't used to having that much fluid put directly in there.
As for the cramps...She said it could be anything...mostly the fert meds making my ovaries balloon up to what feels like watermelons.
So now we wait....And I'll say it again...The dreaded 2ww.

On a positive note, EVERYTIME I was crampy and muscousy after my IUI's I got a BFP!!!
Goodluck Tucan, on my IUI that stuck I ate pineapple once a day from the day after the IUI through to the day AF was due... google it, might be worth a try!
