IUI #2....here's to successful baby-making!

Can I just start by saying how amazing life is? I have the best husband in the world, amazing friends and family and the most amazing ladies I coach! All put together equals a very blessed life that I am extremely thankful for. The weather has been beautiful and I am stress free for the first time in a long time. (Thank you summer break!)

I went for my last FC on Friday. Both follicles were still there. The one on the left was a 20mm or 21mm the one on the right was a 18mm or 19mm and my lining was a 9.5! All good news, so I gave myself the trigger shot on Saturday and went in for our IUI on Monday. Marc and I were both WAY more relaxed this time and just laughed all morning. (I am a true believer that your attitude plays a huge part in your success.) Marc took in his sample at 8:00am and then we went in at 9:30am for the IUI. Marc was much better about just coming in with me instead of making a big huff about it. It probably helped that there was a waiting room full of other patients. :) My doctor's office does a lot of teaching and there was a student who wanted to see how the procedure was done. I said "come on in, we'll make it a party!" Marc was none too thrilled that she was there or that I had made that comment. You see, when you have to go through all the doctors visits and uncomfortable situations while trying to get pregnant you learn just to laugh and make a joke about it. Marc is not quite there with me. LOL On the day of our first IUI Marc's count was pretty low with 4 million sperm...this time it was 38 million sperm. MUCH BETTER! The extra day off of baby-dancing made a hugh difference. I gave him some encouragement about how well he did this time, again not there with me yet. He wasn't thrilled I made that comment either, but he's not the one with people looking at him and getting all up in his business so I just kept laughing! My cervix was open and right where it needed to be and everything looked great. They finished the procedure and we laid there for 10 minutes then went about our regular day. (which included kicking ass at a softball game...JUST SAYING) So now it's the hard part; the two week wait. I am not even going to look at the calendar to see when I can test....we are going camping the weekend of June 18th and if I haven't started my period before that (PLEASE!!!) I will take a home pregnancy test! I have a good attitude about it, but again am cautious to be excited. These two weeks are going to be long, but I at least have lots planned and not much time at home by myself.  So if any of you want to hang out.....let me know. :)

Another thing that has been greatly helpful in going through this process is the community of woman I have found that vlog on Youtube. These ladies are amazing and the most supportive people you can meet. I do vlogs as well and update those more regularly then this. If you would like to see my videos as well as read this blog the link is:  http://www.youtube.com/user/woohoo5151?feature=mhee

That's all I have for today. It may be 2 weeks before I update again and hopefully it will be good news. THNAK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT!!!
