This morning I went to the doctor for my ultrasound. We decided this month to go ahead and pay for the ultrasound to see how many follicles I had. Last month I felt like I didn't know enough so we paid the $190 to get the ultrasound this time around. I went in at 8am so I could get to work at a decent time. The ultrasound only took a few minutes. After she was done, they took me into a room. I sat down and she said- well, you're ready, but since we're closed tomorrow, we'll have you do the Ovadril shot tonight at home and come back in Friday morning for the IUI. I was excited to hear that I was ready. She said I had one mature follicle and two lagging behind that. I was a little nervous about the shot, but ready to go ahead. I've given thousands of shots, but it's totally diff. when you have to give it to yourself.
Dave and I were preparing Thanksgiving dinner and 930 rolled around so I got the shot out and gave it to myself. It was subcutaneous in the abdomen. It actually didn't hurt at all. Being me, I was more worried about all the side effects I read about in the insert. I should have never read it. They're pretty awful. Dave sat next to me and watched. He said he would give it if I wanted him too, but I told him I could do it. I could tell he really didn't want to do it.
The next morning I woke up and took an ovulation test. I was happy to see that the control line was dark- very dark. So, the shot definitely worked. I will be ovulating about the time I go in for the IUI. And I hope that there are 2-3 mature follicles ready to go when I do.
