My dh has to go out of town on Friday morning and will be back on Saturday/Sunday early morning around 2am or so.....But I just finished my clomid tablets yesterday and I have an appointment for blood and ultrasound for Friday...I just spoke with my nurse who said insemination will probably occur on saturday but my dh will not be here!!!!!!!!!! I explained the situation to her BUT she said we would "see how things go" I dont understand that!!!!! What can I do? I suggested maybe going in tomorrow but she said that would be too early? Am I just out of luck this month again? This is becoming so, so, so emotional!!! I feel helpless and hopeless.....My dh has not choice, he's going out of town for business!!!!! Any advise/suggestions/ideas/support ANYTHING????

For me...I wouldn't want to miss this opportunity. I would have someone I am close with go with me if my husband could not. For me, it would be my mom. I klnow it stinks because it should be your husband, but I think you have to decide if you want to put it off or go ahead with it. Do you have someone else who could go through this with you? Everyone is different...but I would be okay if my mom went with me.

I dont have a problem going alone to the blood/ultrasound but when it comes to the insemination part, well I really need my husband to be there!!! NO one else can go in his place....I need his sperm!!!!

Can he go in earlier than you and donate his boys? At my RE's office, that is an option...kinda pricy, but for some it has to be done. I hope you don't miss this month.

Why is your insemination so soon? Did you take clomid on days 3-7 or later? I always took clomid on days 3-7 and went in for insemination between days 14 and 16. just wondering.

Is there any way you can go out of town with him, GO where the swimmers are!!! I know that this is emotional for you and I will pray that it all works out for you... but remember you are not hopeless!!! Good Luck! Baby Dust to you!

I think pug girl has the best idea. If you can he could donate early so you can still go through with it. I hope you find a way to get it done! Good luck!!

If you could afford the thing pug girl mentioned, maybe that would work. If not, is there any way for you to do what TTCMel said? You probably wouldn't be able to do the insemination where he is (although that could be a possiblity also), but maybe you could at least TTC on your own. I also wanted to say that I have experienced the stress of scheduling around ovulation and I know how hard it can be. Let us know what happens!

Thanks to all who responded and have given me hope and support. It's great to know other people are concerned and have or are going through similar situations.

How did your bw/us go?

cant you just (at least) have regular sex on Saturday (when he comes home--even at two am) and then go in on suday for an IUI? I know it may not be perfect, but---since when is any of this stuff perfect? goodluck.
