Ok so I had another monitoring session this morning at 7am.  My lil’ 16.5mm follie has grown to 19mm since Saturday!  Woot Wooot!  I am so attached to this freakin fluid filled sack…God help me when I find out there’s actually a baby in my uterus.  It’ll all be over then…talk about LOVE. He didn’t want to trigger this morning.  He told me that I would get a call this afternoon (protocol for monitoring sessions- they always call by 3pm that same day with your levels and follow up schedule) letting me know if I will be having my IUI tomorrow morning, or another monitoring session and the trigger.  It all depends on my levels.  Basically they want to see my estrogen at around 200.  A few days ago it was 154, with the 16.5mm follicle.  If they see that my LH is elevated, surging on my own, then I will definitely have the IUI in the morning.  He handed me a sterile cup so we are prepared.  I’m really hoping that tomorrow is the day.  I’m so anxious at this point.  I just want everything to work out…but I do know deep down that whatever is meant to be will be.  Especially in this case. 

So now we sit and wait.  I’m sure I don’t have to tell you just how far away 3pm is, right?  Yeah, I didn’t think so.

Walking into the office this morning was a relief…there was only about 8 women in there.  On Saturday it was a nightmare, to say the least.  Our wait wasn’t actually that bad, only about an hour and 20 minutes so I really can’t complain.  But it was pretty amazing.  You see we planned on leaving the house at 6:30am, to make it to Plainview (about 20 minutes away with no traffic) by 7, and wait on line if we had too, as the monitoring is first come first serve starting at 7am.  We actually didn’t leave until 6:45 and still had to stop for our morning fix, so we actually got there around 7:15…not bad.  Although the parking lot was already packed, with the exception of about 5 spots.  Holy crap!  I was freaking out.  Remember I had my acupuncture session at 9:30, so everything had to go pretty according to planned (in my head).

There were about 4 cars following us in to the lot, and 1 in front of us, so you could only imagine the angst trying to beat the other 5 ladies to the door.  I mean come on, 5 ladies in front of you equals about 40 minutes extra wait time…easily!  So we get into the office and it’s packed but we get a seat.  They called me in immediately for my blood. 

They actually had 2 nurses doing the blood, to make it go faster.  I couldn’t have been behind the doors for about 5 minutes, not even, for blood when I walk out to find our seats taken and about 6 more women in there!  Damn!  So we are standing off to the side and the number of women pouring into the office was just incredible!  Some serious operation they run over there…very well orchestrated I have to say.  By the time we went in for the sono, there were women standing everywhere.  By the time we came out, 10 minutes later, there were women sitting up the stairs and in the upstairs waiting room.  It was crazy! 

So yeah, this morning was nice, only 8 women.  In and out…literally.  I’ll update later!
