Aah, Betsy, I love you for asking. Any excuse to have a lot to say!

The appointment was scheduled for 7a.m. Nurse told us to get it there within 15 minutes of production. We were late by three minutes. (Sure enough, just as a feared, we got held up by trains on two different roads... who would have thought so many trains would be passing through at 6:58a.m.?)
Oh, one big detail... we were arguing in the car along the way, because I was afraid there was not enough... um, well, you know,... in the cup. DH explained his method of giving samples will improve over time. Anyway, I don't even know why we were arguing about it (like he can help it), but I was really scared they would tell us there wasn't enough for the IUI, so I was acting out on it.
Anyway, got we got there, signed some paperwork (telling when sample was produced, etc.) Then we were told to come back in 45 minutes. Apparently the sample size was no problem at all.
We went to breakfast, then came back. The nurse asked us if we'd like to see the sperm under the microscope, so we went to the lab and viewed it.
Then DH and I went in the room. Nurse told me not to use the bathroom b/c of something to do with the uterus flattening out. Then it went basically like every other appointment, except the monitor wasn't on. The entire procedure lasted under 5 minutes. DH has gotten really relaxed in the room and jokes with the nurse and me when I'm on the table; I love having him there, it makes me feel so much better!
After the IUI I remained lying down for 10 minutes. She told me to relax, of course I couldn't though, so I kept trying to talk. DH kept trying to quiet me down by making me do deep breathing and such. Of couse I couldn't relax, but it's nice to see DH playing such an important role!
After the 10 minutes, I got dressed and left.
I made the appointment next week for 7:15a.m., so I can find out prog. levels asap.

Anyway, that's the scoop start to finish! It wasn't the most pleasant experience but certainly went by quickly enough.
