The Hard Part

Yeah, this is the hard part. Waiting. Again and again!
It's been 3 days since my IUI and we've had sex many times, on top of that...as we do everytime around ovulation! So if this is our time, and we really believe it could be, then things are already set in place.

Fertilization takes place withing 24 hours of the egg being released from the ovary. The hCg shot makes me ovulate within 30-40 hours after the shot, so they do the IUI at a certain time because of that...and then we just have intercourse for the next few days to give us more of a chance...that's the fun part! If the egg dropped when it was supposed to and the sperm met the egg, it should fertilize in the fallopian tube and then withing 3 days travel to the uterus and implant around 6 days after ovulation. That's what they say anyhow. So hopefully my egg was met by a lucky sperm and fertilized and is making it's way to my uterine lining where it makes itself comfy and then grows into a baby!

I really hope that this time it's meant to be! If not, we'll be talking about what to do next...and I'll be continuing this infertility blog...if so, I'll post once more and then maybe change the name or start a new blog!

Please keep your fingers crossed!
