Wednesday is the Day!

Today I saw Abby and she said Wednesday is the day for the insemination! I am very nervous but also super excited! I think I am most nervous about Josh having to give me my HCG shot Wednesday morning. All I can think about is that Jennifer Lopez movie "The Backup Plan" when she gets inseminated and walks out all funny trying to hold it in! Haha!

Only bad thing, well not that bad of thing, is that I still am only working with one mature follicle...so we will see if the IUI will work with just one. If this fails, Laproscopy surgery is next...let's keep our fingers crossed!

Hot Hot Hot!!!

Well Summer has begun in full force already here in Tallahassee with temperatures reaching 95-101 every day with one day of rain in the past couple of weeks! I am kind of glad I'm not pregnant right now like many of my friends because I am sure it would be miserable!!

I start my next round of Femara tonight, two pills a night for about five nights. If everything goes as planned, I will be inseminated in about two weeks. I finished reading the book "What He Can Expect When She's Not Expecting." Even though it's for the husbands, I wanted to see what the man's prospective was. Everything in the books, besides the stuff about IVF I could relate to. It is really interesting to read something and say "yep I did that or said that or am that way." Josh is a couple of chapters in and I can't wait until he finishes it so we can talk about the whole book and not piece by piece. I highly recommend this book to anyone undergoing fertility treatments.

In the book it talked about how technical all the procedures make it, when getting pregnant and having a baby should just be a natural thing. I really relate to that because you know what your body is doing and what you need to do every step of the way. When I ever do finally become pregnant, I will know the exact day and time that it happened. So that will be much different than a normal conception. Oh well to each their own I guess!

I just found out the other day that another one of my friends is pregnant. This will be her second. I think this brings my count up to about six now. I guess that is how it is though as you get older. Someone is either getting married or getting pregnant. I turned 25 on May 24th and just couldn't believe how old it made me feel. I know it's not that old and I have older friends I don't consider them old, but I guess that's just one of those things! =)

Thank you all for you love and support!!!
