So yesterday couldn't have gone better. The scan showed 3 folicles growing, two of which should reach maturity very soon. I am still none the wiser from looking at the ultra sounds but the nurses get mighty excited by the little dots on the screen, I can tell you.
It's a bit of a waiting game now. I peed on a stick this morning to check whether I had ovulated (I hadn't) and will check again tomorrow morning. I also need to give myself a final Gonal-F injection tonight, just to boost everything along nicely.
Tomorrow is day 12 for my cycle. For the past 6 months I have ovulated on day 12 (I am literally Miss Average) so I am pretty hopeful that tomorrow will be no different. If that happens I will then have the IUI at 08.45 tomorrow morning! I Can't tell you how exciting that is. It seems as though it has taken forever to get to this point.
The hardest thing, now, is to remain calm and reflective about it all. I have to remember, despite the nurse's exclamations about how wonderful my folicles, tubes and womb lining are, that the chances of this happening for me first time is less than one in four. Which are pretty crappy odds in the cold light of day.
I'm keeping fingers (and legs) crossed from now on...
