I posted this on IF board b/c MAM asked :) figured i'd share here:
i didnt know what to expect with this dr.
hubby came with me to do his sample at the office, which was weird..LOL I waited a half hour after that i guess for them to prep it.
they brought me in and the dr asked what day in my cycle im on. I say 13...he was surprised b/c he said he normally does them between day 17-18. So i now i start getting snippy b/c i've already had issues with this office telling me different things. (my dr. wasnt there..first time im meeting this dr.) I said i was specifically told to come in on day 13 after taking clomid days 4-8. I dont understand why you're telling me this now. I was really agitated to say the least. Im nervous enough as it is. I already have 4 high days on the CBEFM so any day now i'll be peaking and he said that was totally fine to do it now.
so he starts the procedure and it was a tad uncomfortable. I started crying b/c I was all worked up from the conversation, nervous, and now im tense and its making everything more uncomfortable.
Ughh..it was done in 4 minutes. although he had me lay there for a 1/2 hr with the speculum still in (but closed) for whatever reason..i was shivering it was so cold in there. Hubby came in afterwards and stayed with me for the 30 min.
the dr. came back to tell me he looks for 3 things while doing this...one is the stretchiness of the cervical fluid which he said was great. Something else about the fluid i cant recall..theres a term..and the sperm count. Hubby's was off the chart again. Dr. said he's surprised im not pregnant yet...YEAH, U AND ME BOTH DOC...
anyway, he said i was tense and if it doesnt work next month i have to relax.
I almost said go eff yourself about relaxing. easier said than done.
I napped when i got home. im tired, but overall fine and pain free now.
He also said it was ok to BD every other day for days 13-18 even after the IUI. So we'll continue with that..tomorrow..im in mood for it now..LOL
And your doc was lucky you were so nice when he said relax. I would have peed all over his hand just to show him how darn relaxed I was! Sorry you had to deal with that!

oh my god..
I will say the dr. is very nice. But he's also very mellow sort of and just has this laid back attitude..which isnt what i need right now. I feel like im the only one taking the bull by the horns so to speak..LOL
