I thought I posted this morning, but apparently I’m on crack.
Or crazed from “popcicles,” as the case may be! Yes, it’s true. I finally surged on Saturday night! (For the first time ever, I started testing twice/day.) The optimal window for IUI with previously frozen little swimmers is 24-48 hours after the surge, which we hit this morning around hour 42.
It was the same doctor who succeeded with Noah, accompanied by a new member of their practice. I think my doc was showing off a little, which I appreciated, as he was so careful and gentle that I barely felt a thing.
My only complaint is that I had to wait for the doctors for roughly 45 minutes. That’s a long time to sit around on a table in a paper wrap. But they say there were 40 million little swimmers/ml in my teeny little vial, which is a goodly number for our purposes. Hopefully 1 is a good strong swimmer.
One week from today: progesterone test. Two weeks from today: pregnancy blood test.

I’m holding my breath until then!

I’m so glad you commented on my blog so that I could find yours. I love it and I’m sure to be a frequent reader. Noah is absolutely precious and I’ll be crossing my fingers that one of those strong swimmers makes him a big brother.
