What a mess today was!! I finally got the trigger shot and we are set for IUI tomorrow morning, but it took 3.5 hours from the time I went in for the follicle scan to the time I left the hospital!
My follicles were 16, 18 and 19. I wasn't sure if that would be good enough, so I was very excited and surprised when after the u/s tech talked to the on-call Dr and started talking to me about going get the shot!! It sounded like since I had growth (from 17 to 19) and a positive OPK, they decided to try the IUI.
So I went over to be admitted to the hospital to get the shot. I didn't have any orders, so they had to call the on-call Dr to get the orders for the shot. When they tried to get the shot from the hospital, the hospital didn't have any!! They said they were out! Apparently, most people that go in for the shot already have the meds with them.
And they said the only way for them to get the meds was to call other hospitals because they have to go through other hospitals because of the way things are coded. They said they didn't know how long it would take to find, and then have someone pick it up and bring it back.
Meanwhile, we came up with plan B. The nurse called around to some local pharmacies and found one that had the meds. So she asked the on-call Dr if it would be okay for her to call in the Rx for the meds for me to just go pick up. She was fine with that, so we did that and I just went pick it up. But then when I got back, I still had to wait b/c they had to send the meds to the hospital lab to test it to make sure it was the right meds.
Then, the nurse had to scan the bar code on my bracelet and the one on the meds. She couldn't get the bar code on the meds to scan since it came from an outside vendor. So she said she would just type it in manually. Well, the meds from Walgreens did NOT have numbers on the bar code...it was just the lines. I was about to lose it!! Luckily, she said she was able to by pass that on the system so I was able to get the shot. Whew!
So now we go in tomorrow morning for the IUI. I felt crampy most of the day today, but at the scan I still had that big follicle so I know I didn't O yet. I guess it's coming, though. I'm just so nervous about the timing. DH and I did BD last night, but I'm thinking about skipping tonight to "save up" for tomorrow morning. I completely forgot to ask the nurse at the hospital..I was so ready to get out of there after being there 3.5 hours!!
DMickey...Congrats!!

I desided yesterday after reading a TTC article on MSN and it said basically if you have been trying for 6 months and you are over 35 years old and no luck that you should start the process of getting checked out. So here I am. . . I'm making the call today to my gyno so we can talk. 
I always knew I would probably need to some how but actually doing it. . . sorry. . . ok nuff talk I'm off to call. 
Then a few hours after that I did the cheap OPK again (since those go bad in 30 days after you open the container) and it was darker. Yesterday I wasn't getting dark lines, so hopefully I caught the beginning of the surge! We will see. I just hope I sleep better tonight. I kept waking up, wondering if I was having O pains. 
I had a Beta and Progestrone test on thurday and again today so we will get all the results on Monday. I am excited! Praying for a sticky healthy baby this time. i really think the Soy helped this month ...
