Infertility kinda sucks.

follicles

At 7:45 tomorrow morning, I go in to get my follicles looked at. They do a sonogram to see how many there are and what their sizes are. If there are the right amount and they’re the right size, they give you a HCG trigger shot to make you ovulate. If they’re not quite ready, the trigger is taken later. The IUI is usually scheduled about 36 hours after the trigger shot.

If there are too many mature follicles, they will cancel the cycle, because you don’t want to have 6 babies at once.

The goal of an IUI is to time things perfectly – to try to get the little guys right where they need to be as soon as the egg is released. It’s a matter of making sure everything happens when it’s supposed to happen, so that everything lines up and gives you the best possible chance.

Sometimes the timing is off, and it gets canceled. This has been worrying me for the past 2 days.

I have a bad feeling.

I hope I’m wrong.
