Sonogram

So.. we had the sonogram this morning. Chadd asked if I wanted him to come.. since it was just the sonogram I told him it was totally up to him.. and he wanted to. I had told him about my last sonogram and I think he wanted to see what it was all about. He came in the sonogram room with me and the nurse faced the screen so we could both see. She showed us my uterus, explained to me about my lining (which is thickening just right!), and then went to each of my ovaries. GOOD NEWS.. I have 2 follicles in my left ovary and 1 BIG one in my right ovary!! The nurse said it looks GREAT and we're ready for the IUI! YAH!!!!! (What's an IUI? click here)

After the sonogram we went and talked with the nurse to get the IUI scheduled. She asked if I could give myself a shot and Chadd willingly said he would give it to me!! Ugggggh!!! Anyone who knows me, knows I HATE needles and normally pass out at the sight of them... so this should be interesting, ha ha!! So, tonight at 10:30pm Chadd will have to give me a shot in my stomach, which is a boost for me ovulating. She has it timed just right for the IUI that we scheduled for 8:30am Thurs morning! SO excited and scared all at the same time!! When I had the HSG done (read more on HSG), it was the worst pain EVER.. and I'm afraid this will feel about the same. It'll all be worth it though in the long run and I'm just staying positive about it and will try my hardest to relax myself Thurs morn to take the pain off.

We're hoping and praying this takes the 1st round so we dont have to do this for another 2 months. Thank you for all the continued prayers!! We truly have the greatest circle of family and friends!! We are very thankful!!
