New Year... 2011!!!

So it's a new year and I'm so excited about what's to come.... I started a new group/class @ church and I'm excited about it.... Classes start in one week and in 3 weeks we start a cycle and I'm so excited about letting the doctor do the inseminations again! Even though Michelle and I were doing a great job I think it's time to bring in the professionals!! But by now I feel like we're professionals!?!?


Not a lot to say except I'm excited about this year!!!

Update On TWW....

Okay so for one whole week we inseminated everyday from Sunday to Friday, did everything that I'm suppose to do and then on Christmas Eve I got that feeling again that my cycle is about to begin?!?!! I have come to the conclusion that me and our KD isn't compatible, because if the doctor keeps telling me that there's nothing wrong with me and my reproductive system what else could it be?!?!

So I never told you about his test results. Everything was 1-2 number below what they would like to see (but the nurse said not to worry...)

But we have decided that we would take a month or 2 off and find a donor from a sperm bank so we can do IUI again... That way I will feel more confident that things are going right....

Update....

Okay so I haven't been very talkative on here lately because I didn't want to be disappointed again and have to see the pity looks from friends and family when they see me.... I think that all the concern is wonderful and I truly appreciate it but some of the looks I get are saddening.... But I decided that the looks are not that of disappointment or pity, but it's the looks of concern from truly concern people! So I'm back!!!

On Saturday morning we went in for our monthly monitoring @ 7:30... The technician was so cold and anti social, not sure if it was because Michelle came in with me, She look back when I was waiting for Michelle like who is she?!?!? So she starts looking and she's not saying anything (not like the other techs before) and she didn't let me see the screen! So I asked her what she was seeing and she said 1 follicle and then I had to ask her the size and she told me 25. Then she tells me the nurse will call me... So the nurse calls me @ 10:30 and tells me that I only had 1 mature follicle (25mm) for it being CD 8... So the nurse tells me to use the Ovidrel that night and inseminate Sunday and Monday..... So I called the KD and told him and he thought we should inseminate everyday this week... So we have inseminated everyday this week so far.... I was wondering before should I use the CBEFM or the OPK and I decided that I would and for the last 2 days I have gotten a smiley face on the OPK and the CBEFM had shown the "egg" for Sunday and Monday but today went back to the 2nd notch.... So I don't know what I should think of that... I am not stressing over the outcome because like I said before God will make it happen when it's suppose to....

Early morning...

Okay so I woke up @ 6am ready to go get the sperm from KD, but Michelle isn't the morning person sometimes!!! So I'm sitting in the bed hoping she would hurry up. Finally, @ 6:30 she gets up and she's ready to go get it!! We get to KD house @ 6:55 and he's right out @ 7 with cup in hand... We get home like @ 7:20, and I get very anxious about getting it done, Michelle strolls around and don't understand my urgency to do it!! So of course we argue about how I'm all amped up and she's so cool and collected. So finally, after all that unnecessary time we spend talking (I'm going crazy in my head) It's done @ 7:32!!!! So now I'm laying up in bed relaxing.. Today is CD 15 and I'm thinking maybe we should do it again Saturday???


But even if we don't do it again, I go to the doctor's office for BW, (Progesterone test)

Day 2

Okay so I didn't blog yesterday, But I inseminated again last night. The day started off as usually, but I was a little worried because I got a negative OPK. So I looked it up on the internet and it said that you will get a positive once and it will come 24-36 hours before you'll ovulate... Then @ 6pm our KD came over, but Michelle couldn't be here because she had to work late, I was comfortable because after we spoke with our friends and they shared with us how I can do it myself if Michelle couldn't be there. So after he left I used the Pre-Seed 15 minutes before I inseminated, then I used the Instead softcup and got in the bed. I stayed in bed for the rest of the night... So Thursday morning we'll do it again instead we'll go to his house to pick up the sperm instead him coming we'll go @ 7am!!!


After we inseminate tomorrow then the 2 week wait begins....

Insemination.....

So my KD arrived @ 6:30 exactly and we talked til Michelle gets here and we talk some more before he goes into the guest bathroom, does his business in like 8 minutes!!! I have this feeling that everything is falling into place... So it's now 7:20 and I'm lying in bed waiting for Michelle to get everything together... It's now 7:34 and in goes the syringe, and now we're on the road to pregnancy...

I refused to get back out the bed tonight, I want the sperm to have a smooth ride (no motion sickness) So i'll lie here all night and tomorrow wake up with the same thoughts as today, we're gonna inseminate today and again on Wednesday but maybe in the morning on Wednesday...

I'm about to go to sleep so my sperm can run around in my uterus and wait for my egg to go shooting out my fallopian tubes and make a baby... I always wonder will they be in there fighting and talking to each other like in the movie Look Who's Talking


Til tomorrow have a great night...

The Big Day!!!

So this morning the line wasn't dark but it was there, where other days it wasn't there @ all..So tonight we're gonna inseminate, I'm drinking so much water right now, because they say the more water you drink the more CM you'll have!! But I'm getting everything ready, specimen cup (check), syringe (check), instead softcups (check), Pre-Seed (check) and sperm (coming)!!! So everything is in order now just patiently waiting til 7 for KD to get here...

Okay, gotta go cook dinner before Michelle gets home from work.... Will update later tonight... Pray for US!!!!

Anniversary...

So woke up this morning in a very good mood!! Because it's our anniversary and because today is suppose to be the day we inseminate.... So again I'm rushing to use the bathroom and everything is negative again... So after seeing that I decided I was gonna postpone doing the insemination today but start every other day starting tomorrow, so I sent our KD a text message telling him that he can go straight home tonight from his trip and come over tomorrow evening for sure... Michelle checked my CM today and I didn't have a lot but it is getting clearer and that's a great sign!!! Everything is falling into place with my body I believe, just gotta wait for the right timing....


Went to church this morning and we decided that we would go to breakfast/brunch instead of going to dinner tonight for our anniversary. Today just didn't seem like "a special day" for me, even though Michelle gave me a beautiful card and some perfume today seems like another day for us because we're still doing the same stuff we did yesterday?!? So what do you do different on your anniversary oppose to the day before or the day after???

Monitoring update!

Okay nurse called and my estrogen level is 136 (not sure what's the norm) but with the size follicles I have she wants me to do my trigger shot (Ovidrel) tomorrow night and inseminate Sunday and Monday! I'm just so glad that it's Sunday because my KD is out of town til Sunday evening! And the funny thing is we were emailing this week and I told him that I think we should start inseminating Sunday so we had already planned for Sunday. So, he'll be here straight from this trip and then we'll do it again Monday evening and because I'm such an anal person with this we'll probably do it again Tuesday morning before Michelle goes to work =)))... My KD said that he'll do it everyday if that what we want (he is God sent!)....

So that's it til tomorrow when I take the shot, only thing about that is that after that shot I'm usually so moody! But I'm going pray and believe that I'm not going drive Michelle crazy!!!

Pray for her and me!! =)))
