Waiting for IUI#1

So it's on to waiting for IUI#1. Notice how I'm saying #1, yes I'm not being optimistic. With all the luck we've had these past 2 years and 7 months, I am not counting on a first attempt at IUI to work. It would be an absolute miracle if it did. So I'm preparing myself to be disappointed; not because I'm such a pessimist, but because I'm trying to protect myself from getting excited and then being let down again. My follicle check this morning went fine. I have several follies, and one large one on my left side. Still needs some time to cook though, so I'll be going in again on Friday, but OPKing til then. If I get a +OPK before Friday then I'll call in and we'll schedule the IUI. It would be cool if we did the IUI on Halloween. That would mean that we'd find out on my birthday or Rob's bday if it worked (Nov 13 or 15). Maybe a good sign? Rob's B/W results were good too, which was nice to hear. We still don't have any percentages on whether the IUI will work, but we may do some more testing.

    You never know- I went into my first IUI the same way you are, thinking the first try would never work. And it did! I do realize that it's really hard to be optimistic though. It's a self-preservation thing. Best of luck as you move forward. Glad to hear Rob's b/w came back fine!

    I pray that you'll be surprised with a BFP after your first IUI! I understand your mind set, though. It's easier to tell yourself it won't work, because then, if it doesn't, the theory is you won't be disappointed. However, I find I usually still am. ugh. Isn't IF great?!

    I'm glad you enjoyed your trip to Chicago. We live in downstate Illinois and we love to take the train to Chicago for a weekend trip. So much fun!

    I completely understand being cautiously optimistic, but Kerri's right. I know of a lot of folks who've had success the first time. And I'm hoping you'll be one of them!

    I'm so excited that your moving forward! Crossing my fingers for you!
