Inpatiently waiting for O

Well, the IUI is all set to go. All I am waiting for is my positive ovulation test. Of course as usual things are not going according to plan. I was hoping I would get my positive on Friday which would mean I would ovulate on Sunday which would be day 14 of my cycle, and has been the norm for the last 3 or 4 cycles. Then I wouldnt have to tell anyone at work why I am missing work. We have decided not to tell anyone about this cycle. Its less stress on me. When people at work ask me whats going on I just tell them we are waiting until the beginning of the year until we start IUI. Either way, if I get my positive tomorrow (fingers crossed) I can go in on Tuesday on my lunch break, and just make up some crazy reason why I'm late coming back. lol. It would be nice to surprise all the girls at work if it works this cycle. We are all pretty close in age, and everyone is so great and interested in whats going on. I couldnt ask for more supportive co-workers. Sometimes, I just get tired of explaining the same things over and over. I know they mean well so its better just to tell them I wanted it to be a surprise, which I kind of do. So Im a little nervous about IUI because ive never had one before. Compared to what most of the girls on here have done, they probably think Im silly. I just hope and pray that this cycle is it. If not, I have bought an extra vile for next month so at least Im prepared I guess. Anyway, wish me luck!
Good luck! I hope O is right around the corner! I totally get it about not wanting to tell- that's why we haven't told anyone that we started this DE cycle. I just don't want anyone else along for the ride this time. Plus, if it works it will be nice to surprise my family and friends.
Anyway don't stress about the IUI- it's usually a piece of cake and over before you know it!

I completely understand your not wanting to tell. We're in the same boat. We shared with everyone for the last IVF and when it didn't work it was so painful to keep repeating over and over what happened. We're still not sure about disclosure for our current situation so for now we've only told my mother about this process and no one else. We will just tell everyone we did another IVF once we get pregnant. So don't feel bad about not sharing...it's a personal thing and there is nothing wrong with not telling everyone. You have these boards to share feelings....I'm so grateful these are here because other wise I'd go crazy with this whole process.
Good luck! The IUI is a snap...just like a regular pelvic exam.

I remember those days well!
I tried the regular OPKs once long ago, but when it came time for IUIs I wasn't doing ANY guessing!
