IUI update

So I got my injection yesterday. That stuff really burns. I can still feel a bit of pain in the spot where it went in. I have my ultrasound on Monday. If the follies look good, then they're going to go ahead and give me an HCG trigger so that I'll O on Tuesday and we'll do the insemination then. Josh isn't really looking forward to it. I'm not sure if he'll have to do it there or if I can bring in his "deposit." But I want him to go with me for the IUI so I don't have to tell our kids that daddy was at work while they were conceived 8)

My DH's experience last weekend with his first "specimen" collection was horrible. First of all we live about 30 minutes away so they wanted him to do it there. Second, he was instructed that he couldn't use spit or lube. The result was pretty much the equivelant of rug burn. I mean all that hand action on a dry penis actually left a scab. If there is a next time, I'm going to ask if that can be waived or if he can use pre-seed. Finally, the porn options were limited to a playboy, a hustler and one porn that cycled on the TV. Oh and they played stupid ocean music in the room that annoyed DH. So again if there is a next time DH is bringing his own porn.

It took DH like 25 minutes to finish the whole job. And the whole time the poor guy was panicing that it wouldn't happen. I know some guys are masturbating champs who can crank out a specimen in a bathroom stall if needed. But while my DH masturbates, he probably doesn't do it as often as others. So to have to perform under that kind of pressure and in that environment, is tough.

Good luck on Wednesday!
