32 and 27...

...those were the sizes (in mm) of my wifes' follicles as of yesterday. The nurses were excited to see such mature follicles. After the test, we got the call that she would give herself the ovulation induction shot last night but that the IUI would happen today because she was very close to ovulating on her own. Her hormone levels had risen high enough that the doctor was worried that waiting until Tuesday could miss the window. So, we had our 2nd IUI procedure done this afternoon. This time I had to perform at the clinic instead of at home. As I walked in, the receptionist asked me if I was carrying the specimen or would I be "producing" the specimen there. Too funny. I waited no longer than 2 minutes before being ushered to an exam room. This was no ordinary exam room though. This one had materials to help with "producing" the specimen. I thought it would be like the lab, where they supply you with nothing. Needless to say, my wife showed up an hour and a half later and the 2nd IUI procedure was complete. Now we have to wait until Tuesday, September 4 to find out if she is pregnant. All in all, we are in very good spirits and are excited to hear in two weeks whether or not this IUI worked. More to come as the week progresses.
