Is 18.5 going to be my lucky number?

Wouldn’t you know it, my FM gave me a peak reading this morning. So the whole ticket fight was a waste of time. And, yes, R got the tickets switched with just one phone call. I’m telling you, it’s enough to make me wish I was a man sometimes.

So, knowing that the FM gave me a peak, I was particularly glad that I pushed for a CD12 ultrasound instead of waiting until the normal CD13 or 14. This month’s peak reading is a full two days earlier than my normal CD14 peak, so I was a little surprised to see it this morning. Still, last month I went from low to peak overnight on CD12 to CD13, so I guess I should be too surprised. Anyways, the ultrasound this morning showed a nice big follicle at 18.5mm and an endometrial stripe of 5.4mm so we’re good to go for our second IUI tomorrow morning at 9:45am. R drops his boys off at 8:45am, and then I’ll go to the doctor’s an hour later and then head to class for the rest of the day. It’s going to be torturous to have to sit in a class all day, but I can’t miss it. I would have much rather have had the chance to come home and relax, but so be it.

I have the day off work today, so I’m spending the day catching up on homework and errands around the house.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that this is the month it’s going to work for us. I just have to keep up hope. Seeing that 18.5 follicle was a good sign. It has to be.
