IUI Scheduled for Tomorrow!!

I got my definite + OPK this morning so I called my OB to schedule my IUI. I'll go pick up the cup this afternoon, and our appt is at 8:30 in the morning. It'll take the lab about an hour to get everything ready for the IUI, and then I'll walk over to my OB for the actual procedure. I'm so nervous!! Wish us luck!!!
