almost time

I had my iui on the 15th of March, my blood test for pregnancy is on April 1st.. I know I could test now if I wanted or Saturday or Sunday but I'm trying not to. This is torture though.

I havent spotted yesterday or today and normally I spot before my period but I did spot a few days ago. My boobs aren't sore. My stomach feels blah sometimes.. I don't know.

uggg

It sucks that taking Progesterone causes a lot of people the same side affects as being pregnant.. like this afternoon and tonight I've been having nausea. Like just ugg...

If I knew I was pregnant I'd enjoy be happy to be nauseas.


Today I've been moody, or was a few times but maybe it was justified. I get moody the week before my period, so that worries me though.

I feel like if I find out I'm pregnant I'll immediately want to go shopping.

Progesterone also makes you sleepy and I could sleep for days. I don't want to wake up in the mornings at all and could go to bed at 7pm haha.

My progesterone levels were good though. I got the results online and my fertility doctor hasn't called about it yet. They were 29.4 which is good to make a baby with and means I ovulated.

I just so want to have good news to tell my friends and family on Monday that are waiting. I took my results day off from work. I work with all men and really want to be able to be at home and mopey or do what I need to do. I would get tested in the morning and then get the call at work. I don't want the news at work.

Dislikes

Dislike waiting!!

Dislike waiting to pee until putting in progesterone then waiting 30 minutes

Dislike friends hearts breaking from not getting pregnant

Dislike hearing about if iui doesn't work expect a bad period

Dislike preparing for bad news just in case

Dislike getting tested in am and waiting then getting called at work

Dislike walking by baby section and not buying things

Dislike how tired progesterone makes me feel

Dislike no one ever says the right thing

Waiting game

Sitting here waiting on my hubby to cook our dinner on the grill, it was a great weekend weather wise! Gorgeous. I'm trying to eat healthier and cleaner in case I'm pregnant plus I need to lose weight. We had our IUI on Friday. I took the day off for it plus I needed to get ready for a fundraiser that night too.

The procedure wasn't too bad, speculum is never pleasant, usually the worst part. It was quick too and then I laid there for 30 minutes or so. Thankfully I have a friend that has gone through similar things so she has been giving me tips, like keep your cell next to you for afterwards so when you are laying there afterwards you can get on your phone and surf around. Wear warm and comfortable clothes, she said bring a blanket but I knew I'd feel like such a goober toting a blanket into the waiting room. I did read where someone else said to bring a blanket too. I wished I would have shaved my legs though and put some makeup on. I was looking quite rough for baby making day. I had stayed up too late the night before so we were actually in a rush to get the "stuff" there.

I'm so excited for the possibility. The two week wait isn't killing me yet but I've been keeping busy getting our house ready to sell, was busy with fundraiser, work has been busy, and my friends have been instructed to keep me occupied : )

I have progesteron suppositories that are to help me be able to get and stay pregnant. They are uh.. messy. I do those twice a day.

Ahhhhh

Sitting in the waiting room with "the cup" on my lap that seems way too empty but they assure me it's normal or enough..

Collecting as some would say is hard! Not romantic!! Err no slippery stuff allowed...makes things difficult and awkward plus it was first thing in the am and we were rushed.

After this I go home for an hour and wait, shower and eat :)

They say it doesn't hurt at all.

High hopes

This is our first month of iui..I'm excited but nervous. I try to pray away my worries. It's scary spending so much money. The two week wait is always hard but so much more will be weighing on this one.

I joined a group from my church on marriage and I may have been led to this group for a reason..there's a couple in it who struggled with fertility for nine years. Hopefully they can be a source of comfort and information.

It would be do nice for my friend and I to get pregnant at the same time, it's always nice to have someone to go through things with.
