I know it has been quite awhile since my last post. I decided that for month number 2, I would try to ignore what was going on as much as possible so as to reduce the stress of it. That just can't be conducive to getting pregnant. So, here's the update.
I went through the hormones again - had 3 nice fat happy follicles - and had my doctor do the IUI 3 weeks ago today. She was quite a bit quicker about the procedure than the other doctor last month. It was more like - Wham, bam, thankyou m'am! Mom drove me home again - this time with the seat tilted back and my feet on the dash. I spent the rest of the day on the couch. (I love being self-employed.) And thus began the 2 week weight......
Now, I must say that I hate pregnancy tests with little lines. Apparently, I'm not smart enough to read the lines. They might as well be tea leaves. Is it a faint line or just a shadow? Is there color to the line or is it just grey? (It actually makes a difference.) So, one day, I just couldn't take it anymore and went and got Clear Blue Easy Digital. It either says "Pregnant" or "Not Pregnant". How much simpler can it get?
Well, mine said "Pregnant"! Wow! Thank Buddha for fertile women in my family! And good job, Finn! (That is the name I gave my donor - more on him in the weeks to come.) Blood test has confirmed and my hormone levels are excellent. So now begins the 9 month wait! I need to start making lists........
Updates will now be coming more often so feel free to check back!
