We had IUI #3 done this morning and it was an experience. lol
I dropped off L stuff at 830ish and was told to come back at 10ish with a full bladder. Well if any one has ever drank with me you know that with one cup in, four come out. Being the dutiful patient that I am (lol), I drank a bottle of water 15 min before the appt By the time we get there I have to pee, try to hold it but couldnt and went to pee. By 10:15 we were in the room and I start getting full again and need to pee. When the doc came in, I told her I needed to pee or I would probably pee on her so she told me to empty half of it, this is around 10:30. Go back to the room and strap in for the IUI. Turns out doc has trouble getting the catether ithru the cervix so off we go to try to do it under ultrasound. By this time of course I have to pee again (I dont think they really believed me since I had probably peed like 3 or 4 times since I got there at 10), the u/s tech is like 'lets see if you have anything in your bladder'. She just barley puts the ultrasound on my belly and of course the bladder is full (at this point I hear 'wow you have great bladder control, your bladder is super full).
Finally after a few minutes of trying under u/s, the doc gets the cather in and we get to watch the sperm blast off. It was super cool. Doc is like "swim boys swim" lol. The u/s tech is really cool so she prints me off a picture of the 'blast off'.
L and I went to lunch and then I came home to do nthing but lay around and watch tv. . Doc said everything looked "excellent". So to summarize:
- 3 nice follicles
- 55 million post wash count
- 87% post wash motility
- grade 3 - post wash (4 being the best)
All we can do now is pray that "the 3rd time is the charm".

Good luck! Sending some prayers your way!
That is great!! Did you do a trigger shot? IUIs are never easy for me, either. I am always suprised when reading others who say they didn't even feel it!
Wishing the very best for this cycle!
