IUI #1 - Day 14

I have the doctor worried. I have 4 mature follicles ready to go. Today's measurement:

Follicle 1 - 20 mm
Follicle 2 -  18 mm
Follicle 3 - 18 mm
Follicle 4 - 17 mm

It looks like they all caught up to each other. So today he gave me a sheet on "the risk of having multiples." At the end though, being the lawyer that I am, I had him conceding that the chances of four are actually low. He essentially gave me these %:

Chance of pregnancy - ~15-20% [a little lower than normal]

If pregnant:
Chance of Twins - ~50%
Chance of Triplets - 20-30%
Chance of Quads - 15-10%

So just got the call. I take the trigger shot tonight. And IUI #1 occurs on 11:00 am Thursday morning. Unfortunately, my RE is out of town the next 2 weeks. I will have a stranger (I think a P.A.) doing the actual insemination. I'm kind of bummed about that, but I do trust all doctors at Shady Grove. Everyone is so nice and supportive there. We have a mini-celebration everytime we see a follicle grow. Plus, I've met the P.A. and she is really wonderful.

I start progesterone supplements 2 x a day on Friday. Then July 14th I go in for my BETA test to see if it worked.

My main emotions right now are excitement and hope. Unfortunately, ones chances are quite low even with IUI. Therefore, I'm likely just setting myself up for failure YET AGAIN. It's hard not to get excited, but the fall is so much harder when you are on a high. I have to keep my emotions on track and my mind off of it. So keep your fingers crossed.
