Hey ladies...Just had my IUI today. Everything's looking good...Dare I say...Had 12 mature follies, dh's counts were over 100M with 59.7M Total Motile Sperm...We're really hoping this is the one!

TeamH...Depending on the hCG, they can be a bit painful. If it's Ovidrel, that's pretty easy (subcutaneous), but if it's Novarel or other natural intramuscular hCGs, then it can hurt a bit...Just get it past the skin surface, and then it's pretty easy. We have more nerves on our skin, than deeper into our tissue. I just keep focusing on the fact that childbirth is going to be a killer, so I better be able to handle this, if I'm planning on getting my BFP ...The shot itself isn't horrible, but the butt does feel bruised afterwards. The side-effects do simulate pregnancy for a lot of women, so you may get tender breasts and sometimes fatigue. Otherwise, I've not heard of others actually experiencing any of the others possible. The side-effects usually subside by 7 or 8 days past injection. Good luck to you hon!

Let's go ladies! We can all do this!! BFPs all the way!
