Time Out

I know some people are following our journey. Especially our close family and friends, who at times feel like it's happening to them. : ) We are officially taking a break this cycle (from IUI). Last blog I was really fighting with myself to make a decision. I am happy with my decision, but this won't stop us from "trying" : ) have no worries. I am actually kind of curious if I will ovulate on my own. My nurse assured me that this break will not cause any damage to our flow of cycles.

Once we get back from vacation in Key Largo and I get my cycle, we will be right back on the trail to IUI#3, and if you haven't noticed it goes quick. Here we are already number 3. Only 3 more covered on my insurance after this one.

I think this will give me some much needed relaxation without having to worry and hold myself back from doing some awesome things on vacation, because of course if I know there is a chance I could be pregnant I treat myself differently.

So I will be sure to update everyone about our vacation when we get back!

Try Again

Ok so this time was another bust. It's not been confirmed by AF yet, but by two tests. So anyways I am just waiting for it to come so I can call my doc, and get the info. This time I feel kinda numb. It just didn't happen this time. I even considered taking a month off. Then I thought about it, that another month away from possibly meeting my baby.

I called my nurse to tell her that I was pretty sure that my AF was it's way. I asked her a million questions as to why this hasn't worked the past two times. She is THE BEST NURSE EVER. The way she explained it was great. Every month a normal healthy couple only have a 10%-20% chance of getting pregnant. With the treatment it put us into those statistics because we know there are eggs, my hormones are right, I am ovulating, and Aeron's numbers are great. She said I need to think about it as we have only tried for 2 months. So now after her pep talk, I am anxious to get started again. No feeling sorry for myself, just ready to move on and hopefully I can get my IUI done before vacation!

Just a plain old update

Well hello everyone. I hope everyone had a nice holiday! The few days off really helped for the first week of the 2ww to fly by. I have done way better this time, I have been just living my life normally. Last time I acted as if I was 7 months pregnant, and that got me no where so we will try this approach.

My gut feeling is this didn't work this time. I have had not even one symptom, nothing from the trigger shot, no cramping, nada. But also like I said I have barely paid any attention this time. We will see this weekend if my AF doesn't come before then.

In other great news we are going to Key Largo Fl with our friends on Aug 2nd-Aug 10th. Aeron my dh has never flown so we will see how he does. I am used to him being the strong one so I am really hoping he can hold it together for both of us lol. We are so very appreciative to our friends for inviting us on this vacation. Also our other friends Christy and Donald invited us on their vacation too. Unfortunately the vacation dates lap each other slightly so there has been issues with that, however we are so very appreciative for the generosity of our friends who know and see we need some relaxation!

I will update the blog when we know this weekend if we got a BFP or if we are moving onto IUI#3!

IUI #2 OUCH!

So on Sat I had IUI #2. The nurse for some reason couldn't get the speculum in the right spot to work with my cervix. She tried like 4 times. OUCH. So then they had another nurse come in and see if maybe my bladder was too full. Which it was full, but not too full. So then they called the doctor in to take over the IUI. Well the cool thing was this time they kept the sonogram going so we could actually see the catheter go in, and release the sperm. Pretty cool to see despite the issues. Lots of cramping the rest of the day from the side of my large follie so I am hoping that meant something good was going on. One of my best friends Christy got to come with us and that too was awesome. Hopefully she witnessed either her little niece or nephew being created. Aeron was in rare form, and was being silly. I am trying to stay uber calm this time, and just go about my life. Let's see if this approach works. Really excited for the 4th, gonna have friends and family over. It will be an awesome time!
