1st IUI today... calling it the practice run

I'm 33 and just had my first IUI today. I'm calling it my practice run so I can mentally be prepared for the bfn. First time up so I know the chances. Still hard to wait!! I had 5 mature follies, but not sure about sample's quality...not something I talked about with my Dr., just didn't occur to me to ask but everyone here seems to know theirs. Feeling like such a newbie!

Here's hoping August is my lucky month!
I also had my first IUI today, and will have another one tomorrow. Then I'm going overseas the day after. This alone is keeping my pleasantly distracted, as I'm also packing and focusing on all the things that need to be done before traveling.
Of course I'm very anxious, though. I know it's very unlikely for the first IUI to succeed, but I'm still hopeful. Good luck to you, me and all the beautiful ladies in a similar situation out there.
My partner and I have a 3 1/2 year old already from our first medicated IUI (first try period) with piggy back inseminations(my partner carried) NOW, I am in my 2 WW (going nuts currently) unmedicated first IUI attempt (single insemination). We switched clinics and this is a much different albeit better experience that our previous clinic we used.
Trying not to go crazy here wondering... but I can't help it! 4 days in... DLP, how did your 2nd IUI go? Blkern23 good news?
AF is "Aunt Flo" = start of your period.
Bfn is big fat negative, as in pregnancy test. Don't worry, the boards get less confusing the more you read.
I have not had any success yet. I just finished my iui #4 just over 2 weeks ago, supposed to poas (pee on a stick) tomorrow, but good ole' AF came today to spare me that part. I switched donors and meds this go around so was really hoping #4 was my lucky one. Now I'm mentally prepping myself for #5. I'm single and have no children yet, and trying very hard to stay positive through this experience...but it hasn't been easy.
I've been wanting to read success stories though, so I hope at the e nd of your 2ww you have one!! And please let us know the outcome!
