the procedure

Had the IUI done this am. Not really feeling very positive about the whole experience, sperm count was really low. The good news is that the motility was 93% so at least most of Jeff's little guys were swimming! It is really frustrating that we will have to wait for 2 weeks before we know if it worked or not.....2 weeks seems like an eternity right now! I am also agonizing over the cost of this month's ttc adventure.......we spent about $1000 for this one shot, that includes all of our meds and our initial consult. When we were trying to get pregnant before, we spent just a little more than that much on the whole process (4IUI's and meds)....I know if it works, it will be all worth it & then some.......but the thought of it not working, makes me sick to my stomach!! Not only that, but our next step will be 10x more expensive......so scary to think about!! Well all I can say is that this is going to an awful long 2 weeks......guess I will need to keep myself busy!!!
