First IUI... a little nervous

I'm 28 and have been TTC for 2 years now and just started my first IUI process.  At first it was just a morpology issue with my husband, then after I was tested for EVERYTHING, it turned out I didn't have enough eggs someone my age should have. We skipped the colmid and went straight to injectables. I had my second blood test/ultrasound today and had 2 mature follicles and my lining is at 10mm. I'm SUPER nervous, it seems like everyone around me is getting pregnant and I just want a baby... Advice or words of wisdom?

Hey hun, just wanted to let you know that I'm sorry to hear your AF showed but wanted you to also know that my RE advised my husband to take a supplement with "lots of antioxidants" in it to help with his low sperm count.  As I told you before, we also did Femara (I think I had 5mg) and IUI but he started taking these supplements I bought at GNC that had lots of fruit on the label & had tons of antioxidants in it.  I think it was around $10-11 for a 45 day supply.  My husband never got re-checked after taking this but he took it religiously before our IUI & we got a BFP that month.  Who knows if that's what made the difference but for only $10 or $11, it's worth a try.  I can't remember the name of the supplement but if you have a GNC or vitamin store local to you, they can show you the items with the most antioxidants.  Good luck!

Well AF is starting to show, so definitely bfn. dr gave me script for femara, but considering going to injectables. need to think because its not covered by insurance. plus hubby is going to see reporiductive urologist, to see if we can raise his count up, even tho he was on the normal side (but low normal) i talked to my doc about doing back2back iui, and she says theres no evidence to support it being more effective. i guess i got some researching to do. i am so worn out. i think me n hubby need to take a long relaxing vacation somewhere
mrsb good luck!
