day 12 update

This morning was my CD 12 ultrasound. Here's the gist on how it went down:

• My lining looks much better than last time. It's about 8.5 mm thick, which is perfect. (They are looking for anything over 7, and my last pre-IUI u/s had my lining at about 4.5.) This means the estrogen is working--well!
• I had three follies: two on my right, one on my left. The one on my left was only at about 15 mm. But the ones on my right? 24 mm and 18 mm. We took one look at the large one and said, "Whoa!" at the same time. Both appear to be in much better shape than my follies last month.
• The size of the 24 mm follie makes an IUI on the day before Thanksgiving impossible, as in we will never catch that one in time if we wait. So . . .

IUI#2 is scheduled for tomorrow morning. I had to haul ass back home after my appointment and make my mom give me the trigger shot. (Dr. M. asked if I had it with me. Um, no. Who carries around their Ovidrel shot?) The look on Mom's face was priceless when I said, "Now Mom, you have to stick the needle in fast." I also had to take the day off because Joey goes in at 9:30, so I don't go in until 11, but at least I'll have the afternoon to relax after it's all over.
