I'm now doing my normal, are we timing the IUI right stressing. They do it 36 hours after trigger, but what if I ovulate before that? I've read anywhere from 24-72 hours after trigger. They also say that the egg can last 12-24 hours. That sperm can last 2-5 days. So let's evaulate:
We had sex on Saturday. We were told to because we thought we'd trigger that night, and Irena really wanted the sex to be 48 hours before IUI. If the IUI was today, I'd feel totally comfortable with it. However it's tomorrow. So by then it will have been 72 hours since we did the deed. So if I ovulate early, will the sperm still be alive? Sure they CAN last up to 5 days, but most don't. So do Jason's last 3 days? And if I do ovulate early (we are now less than 24 hours from the IUI) will it matter because the egg can in theory last that long? Except that what if mine only has 12 hours?
I just get nervous with all of this timing stuff. I really really really want to have a little parrot head baby. :)
First infertility stamp
The problem with infertility is that I am mourning children that do not exist and I'm the only one who misses them.

That could totally be a really disturbing ISTEP question. :)
ISTEP?!! Try GRE.
I was thinking more MCAT. Kind of has that medical feel to it. GRE would be more like:
"If an egg was travelling 3 miles per hour east and a sperm was travelling 4 miles an hour west, where would they meet?"
