Agonizing

After our IUI yesterday, I was on high alert for any signs of ovulation. I didn't really feel much, though. I had some generalized cramping but no clear ovulation pains. Usually I can really "feel it" when I ovulate, and I feel it in a very specific location on each side. Oh well, I thought, maybe I just didn't feel it this time.

We decided to not start the prometrium last night, in hopes of seeing a temp shift this morning that a) was not medication-induced and b) would confirm that I ovulated. But this morning, to our dismay, I awoke to a temp that showed no shift at all.

At first we tried to explain it away-- it was, after all, a little chilly in our bedroom-- but as time went on, both Sylvia and I got more and more concerned. By 7:30 we were googling, and by 9:00 we decided to put a call in to Dr. P.

I so don't want to be that patient, the one that annoys the doctor or nurses with silly calls. But if I haven't ovulated yet, we'd probably opt to go in for an additional IUI just to be safe.

We got a call back from Dr. P's nurse around 10:30. I told her our concerns and she said she'd check with Dr. P when she talks to him later today. I asked her if it is possible for a trigger to fail to induce ovulation, and she said she didn't know. I am secretly hoping they decide to bring me in today for an ultrasound to confirm ovulation.

This stuff is so nerve wracking!
