It's official. We have started.
Last night: faint positive on OPK. Full ferning on lens. Cervix position is high and soft, with much CM springing forth. First at-home insemination with frozen sperm, 5:20 PM, with lots of resting and positive thinking afterwards.
This morning: Positive OPK. Full ferning on lens. Cervix position is high, soft and TOTALLY WIDE OPEN. First IUI with frozen sample at Dr. Lovely's office, complete with sperm sample viewed in microscope (damn those buggers were swimming, and there were tons!) at 10.30 AM. Insems are 17 hours apart.
Currently: Resting on couch, eating crackers and cheese and watching documentaries on demand. Chefy and have had a very exciting last 20+ hours. We feel really good about the timing with both insems, and our Dr. Lovely was awesome. She exclaimed that my cervix was open to the size of a large pea, that there was an "awesome" amount of CM, and that the sperm sample was one of the "busiest" she's seen. She was very into showing Chefy everything about the IUI and let her push the plunger. She also gave us a couple nice tips for our next at-home attempt. That, and the price of the IUI was half what I thought it would be!
Overall, while I am keeping my expectations low (12% phooey), I am also lying on this couch allowing myself to visualize a pregnancy taking place right now. As I type. Yes.
Bring on the TWW!
