It's go time!

So today I went in for my ultrasound, to check everything and see if I had some well developed follicles(think of it as the egg)*. I've been doing the whole ovulation predictors kits at home and haven't gotten a positive yet, so was just thinking it wouldn't be a big deal and I probably wouldn't be ready until later this week for anything else. Well, the doctor checked it out, showed me that I had two big and juicy follicles (plus one smaller one) at the ready and my uterine lining was "optimal". So she looked at me and said "Well, looks like we can do the IUI tomorrow!" An IUI just means Intrauterine Insemination*. They had discussed it with me for my fertility plan before and I wasn't sure about doing it just yet, so I have been thinking about it. My immediate response was woah, this is going really fast, I'm only a fews weeks into this process, it's come to this already?! But then I got really excited and figured, hey lets go for it! So I have an insemination scheduled for tomorrow! Isn't that nuts? Anyway, it was time for me to get my HCG shot so it will release the egg(s) and they actually just gave me the shot in the office since I didn't bring mine. I really didn't know that I would have to, I was pretty much caught off guard with the fact that they think I should do an insemination already. I was glad that someone in the office gave it to me so I didn't have to worry about doing it at home. They just asked me to bring my stuff from home to replace it.

So I go in tomorrow afternoon. This seems to be going so fast. I've been so used to waiting its weird to have someone be like "you're ready...NOW!" Crazy. So everyone, please keep me in your prayers, your good thoughts, whatever! Thanks!
