Insemination Time!

After this weekend of the 4th, I'll start giving myself those nightly shots to prepare for insemination!!! Eeee! We're getting serious now. Assuming I ovulate and everything goes as planned, we'll get inseminated the week of 7/19. Please say prayers for us. The chances are 10-20%, so it might take a couple tries, but we're very excited to try this new approach--called an IUI. We're hopeful.

Waiting Game

I just ate 2 pieces of chocolate. One for each shot in the butt. Didn't ovulate again this month, so I was given shots of progesterone to get it going. I'll be on the pill for 1-2 months again, then will give myself nightly shots to get ready for an IUI.

I've had a hard couple of days. It's not always easy to stay positive, but the good days outweigh the bad and tomorrow is another day.

The bright side is that while on the pill for 2 months, the pressure is off. There's nothing we can do, so might as well drink beer, work out, and practice. Babies will be here before we know it. I just need to keep my emotions in check and my eye on the prize (?). Yeah that was weak.
