I’ve been planning out the cycle I try for the first time. I’ll call in December 23rd (according to my Kindara app so that can change of coarse) and let them know I started my Cycle Day 1 and that I’m having an un-medicated IUI with a trigger shot and donor sperm. They will schedule me in for my follicle tracking ultrasound in Regina approx. 10 days later. So since 10 days exactly lands on New Years Day I’m assuming they’d want me in before that? So say December 30th. the clinic then gets my results and calls to let me know when to pick up my trigger shot, when to take it and when my IUI is scheduled for. My guess according to my app between January 4-8.
My plan is to do the trigger shot, head to Saskatoon the night before IUI and stay the night. Get to the hotel (I’ll have to leave after work so won’t get in till really late) crash, wake up have procedure done. Go back to hotel and freshen up then maybe go for lunch or shop a little. Just take it very easy. Stay one more night then head home. Depending on the days i’ll either have to go back to work for a couple days or it will land the weekend and I can just veg and watch movies and relax. Luckily my mom will be the one taking me (and driving the 5 hours) and my younger brother said the next time we go to Saskatoon he wanted to go up with us. I’ll have to remind him why we are going there, I don’t mind him tagging along we can go to a movie IUI day while mom shops.
For the Two Week Wait I’m going to be so anxious, like I know I can’t get my hopes up because chances of it working the first time are what, 14%? and I will have to wait the full 14 days as the trigger shot could last 12 days in my system and I could get a false positive which I couldn’t handle. So I’m making a list of ideas to do for the 2ww! I’m a huge movie watcher and I want to have something planned every night.
-Watch favorite movie with big bag of chips.
-Sort threw closet.
-Bake!
-Paint Nails.
-Try Yoga.
-Nap.
-Girls Supper at nice place.
-Craft.
-Sell unwanted items.
-Pinterest
I will be working during the weeks for the wait so that occupies 10 hrs of every day. Then I will groom as much as I can at nights and maybe one Saturday for the wait. I don’t want a bunch of people knowing the day I’m going so really only my best friend, boss, mom, dad, brother and 2 cousins will know.
