iui #2

well, we did our second iui this past wednesday. everything looked really good. i went in for an ultrasound the sunday prior to the iui and my RE (reproductive endocrinologist-"fertility doctor") joined. usually it's just the assistants who perform the ultrasound, but she happened to be in that day. she counted 5 good looking follicles (what they call the eggs before they mature and burst through). she seemed pretty excited that i had that many. so here's to being cautiously optimistic this time around...
i've always thought that when it happens, i'll somehow know right from the beginning. i know that's a silly thought because some women experience nothing through the first few months. and it's frustrating because sometimes i think i feel symptoms that are really just in my head. or maybe it's just gas. but that's a whole other topic.
we haven't decided if we're going to do a third iui (should we need to, of course...remember, cautiously optimistic..). i guess we'll just see when the time comes.
until then, i'm going to spend the next 10 days putting together the bed for our guest room i [stupidly] bought from ikea. only 8 gajillion pieces and pos directions.
anyway...hope everyone has a great week!
