Hi girls, thanks so much for your support. Feeling much better today.

Amy, your cycle has progressed really quickly! Best of luck for your iui tomorrow.

Megsmum, there's nothing worse than feeling like crap with a cold and going through treatment. Take care and rest up (as much as you can with a little one on the loose at home!)

Saph, just a little more on the iui part. The reason why the swimmers need to go through the washing stage is because "only clean motile sperm enter the uterus after normal intercourse, as the mucus in the cervix acts as a filter. For artificial insemination into the uterus, the semen sample must therefore be cleaned, filtered and concentrated in the laboratory prior to use" (Dept of Reproductive Medicine, Westmead). From what I've read, success rates of oi-iui is at about 15%. Our clinic recommends at least 3 oi-iui's before moving onto the next step. Hope that helps.

Take care girls. I can smell the weekend... yee ha!
