I did my IUI on Monday the 21st and I know it was after ovulation because I did an U/S right before and no follicle. I got my positive OPK on Sunday at 11 AM and must have ovulated that day because my temp was up on Monday. The NP said she would go for it and at 38 I hate to delay at all, but now I am second-guessing. Googling how long an egg can live - when ovulation usually takes place after a positive OPK etc. etc. I am driving myself nuts! I really need to knock it off. LOL Of course I know it's possible that it worked, but I hate to think I just blew about $1000. Plus I got a phone call from a NP at Kaiser (my HMO) and she told me that I am CMV negative and the donor I just used is CMV positive - ooops. Somehow I got it in my head that I was positive. She said not to worry - but that's easy for her to say. This TWW is going to send me over the edge. 
And then the issue of donors - the only fully Mexican donor (my DP's ethnicity) at NW is CMV positive... so do I switch to some other bank and spend more money or pick someone with mixed ethnicity? Luckily that decision is my DP's since I carry I figure she gets to pick the donor. And finally if anyone has information on using Clomid plus injectables that would be great. My NP recommends if this IUI doesn't work that I move to Clomd plus injectables... This cycle is a natural cycle - the last time I used Clomid my cycle was super short - 23 days with a 9 day LP. Anyway, since I am approching 39 in two months I really want to do anything possible to make this process quicker. Thanks for reading - I know I was kind of all over the place, but I really try not to discuss this too much with my DP - she thinks I'm obsessed. Funny, right? :-) So thanks for listening - it feels really good to get these thoughts that are racing around my head out into the real world.

I am just as obsessive as you and am in the same boat- can't over talk with DP cause she thinks I get too obsessed about everything!
Just try to relax, get some exercise, stay busy, read, watch movies, etc and these 2 weeks will pass. We are inseminating for the second time tonight so I am in the same boat.....excited but dreading how slowly the next 2 weeks are going to go!!
