First Donor IUI

My husband and I just had our first donor IUI on Tuesday. I was on Femara and also Follistim injections. I had two mature follicles at 22 and 19mm. Our donor specimen was at 15.1 million. Now, the dreaded TWW! Has anyone used Donor #2982? This was our selected donor with traits very similar to my husband! We purchased 4 vials in hopes of achieving AT LEAST one successful pregnancy, although we are really hoping for 2 or even 3. Only time will tell!
I am 27 and my husband is 29. This June we will have been married for 5 years and we have been trying since then. In those (almost) 5 years we achieved a pregnancy on our own in 2008, however we miscarried at only 6 weeks. I was diagnosed with PCOS and my husband has extremely low sperm counts (0.1 million to only 9 million at our greatest). We were determined to have a child of our own and therefore went through 5 unsuccessful IUI cycles with my husband's sperm, using only Clomid. After maxing out one credit card plus some, we had to put everything to a screeching halt. Now, almost 2 years later...we've decided to try a different route with the donor sperm. Not only that, but my RE suggested that using the injectables in addition to the Femara would only increase our chances so we jumped on board! I have to say, the injectables are definitely less than pleasant but I will do anything! My husband and I have watched 4 out of 5 of our younger siblings give birth to their own children, and I love those babies to death (4 handsome nephews and 2 beautiful nieces) but it is a constant reminder of what we don't have.
Thank you to those who have taken the time to read my post! I look forward to sharing some (hopefully) good news with you in 12 days! Sticky baby dust and well wishes to you all!!
