The deposit has been made...

Well, this is how my husband refers to our IUI. We went ahead with the IUI yesterday. Now we must wait for 2 looonggg weeks before we find out if we're pregnant.

Ah yes, how could I forget. And we are now doing the progesterone IM injections. But, I don't care, stick me with all the needles in the world as long as I get pregnant.

So, today I'm off to have a nice relaxing lunch with my DH. We are having restaurant at a new restaurant in town. Gosh I hope it all works out. In the meantime, I'll just try to relax and pray that it works.

I am so routing for you. I have actually thinking about you daily- I have one more week to wait to find out. I was suprised to hear about the progesterone shots. Do they always do that with IUI'? My doctor didn't give that to me. Last time, when I got pregnant, I used progesterone suppositories once we found out I was pregnant, but the doctor wasn't originally going to give them to me. I had some left from another doctor and after asking a few times, she agreed to "let" me use them. I wonder if I should ask for the shots?

Thank you all for your good wishes and good vibes. It means so much to me.

Lisa dg - I'm cheering for you as well. One week, hopefully it will go by fast. I've been working a lot so that helps a bit I guess.

With the 1st IUI I did progesterone suppositories. They were messy and my progesterone was on the low side if I remember correctly. After that, yes I began doing the progesterone injections until the pregnancy test, in my case, I was pregnant with Ethan and I continued the shots until week 12. I had weekly progesterone levels drawn. After one week, it did drop and I had to increase my progesterone to 2ml everyday.

I will have a 7 dpo progesterone level drawn Wed. Did you have a level drawn?

You know, I don't know what they are testing me for when I get my levels tested- I know they were testing FSH on day three and estrogen levels during the injections. I don't recall projesterone being tested- Maybe they were and just didn't mention it because it was normal.

I'll ask next appointment. In any case, I am still crossing my fingers for you and will say a prayer....
