eggs and iuis

First let me congratulate all the BFPs out there!

I went for my u/s and had 5 "perfect" eggs released for my IUI. The Re sounded so positive but hello, reality check, my Dh only had 80,000 post wash sperm. Thats VERY low. But the Re said with more eggs, it still increases my chances. Not really hopeful.
Go in for my beta bdwk on my 3rd anniversary....not really wanting bad news on that day.
keep your .
Really need a . Been through alot .
