We survived IUI #4 today. L's counts were good:
Total - 35 million
Motility - 88%
Grade - 3
Physically it went fine. Doc did not have much trouble inserting the cathether and it really only felt like a pinch. Right now I am feeling some pains and its probably some mild over stimulation. Emotionally, though, it was alot harder. I think knowing that this is our last chance before having to move to IVF kinda got to me. I'm afraid I wont know when to stop. To me fertility treatments are like sitting at a slot maching, the next pull is going to bring you the jackpot. The same with treatments, the next cycle is going to bring us the baby. So we are unable to stop pulling the lever.
As much as I pray that at the end of this cycle we get a positive, I also pray to have the courage and strength to accept whatever next step is planned for us.

That is a great analogy and I totally understand about having the strength to accept things. I'm praying for you!
Ok-here you are!!!! I thought you had left us!
I am glad that everything went so well with the physical part of the IUI. I know it's hard, but hopefully this will be the last time you have to worry about this.
You are always in my thoughts! We are totally going to be testing buddies in 2 weeks.
Ugh. We are back in the damn 2WW!
