Lisa - I know wearing white with a little one is tough, so thank you.

Thank you guys...

I was NOT emotionally prepared to have my IUI today. So I still feel a bit out of sorts...kinda need to know you are going to be violated. you know?

I went this morning and my u/s indicated i was about to pop...my follicle was 26mm which is the same size it was in the last IUI. I had 2 other follicles at 13mm so basically the increase of clomid didn't do anything. And then he's like where is your husband? Where is my husband??????? He's 65 miles away from here that's where my husband is, without a car!!!!

So I had to go back to work, come up with excuse #2, get a hold of Carlos, drive to pacific palisades pick him up and bring him home. That in itself was 3 hours worth of driving. like helllo I have a relax plan I'm trying to work within.

Came home did the deed, but poor guy is so sick it barely got up. Took a lot of porn and me in obscene positions to get him going.

So I got inseminated - that part is the usual. I do not know the count. They were wonderful and put it in an envelope. I will open when I get a positive pregnancy test or AF.

When I left they gave me prenatal pills for a month and my lab slip to get my beta done for my pregnancy test. I told her "you didn't give this to me last time". She said we don't give it to everyone, but you are pregnant this time, so might as well give it to you now. uh...okay...

Got in my car, bawled....came home, slept for an hour, going to go meditate then go to bed.

Deanna - There are so many inspirational things I want to tell you...but my positive account is running low but I will tell you this, it is completely normal to feel totally overwhelmed and have your brain go overload. Do it for 10 minutes, then get it in check. And realize that 1/2 the stuff you are stressing about may not happen.

Karyn - Didn't see that one coming. I congratulate you on your courage to do the lap and getting another piece of your puzzle.

Lauren - your ovaries need a talkin' too!

This damn IUI roller coaster is a trip. I have to remind myself to be grateful that 1 -this is the last out of pocket one. damage today was $565. 2- That I have a wonderful job that gave me the flexibility and lastly I have a husband who didn't complain once when his hysterical ovulating wife showed up at the job site to pick him up in front of 12 guys. I hope the timing was right, if I wake up in the morning and didn't ovulate. I will be pissed.

Bets~ *HUGS* my friend. Sorry it was so stressful. I am thinking positive sticky thoughts for you, and will continue to for TWO WEEKS!

Betsy - You seriously had one hell of a day. I am so sorry it was so sudden and stressful. Maybe the reason why that lady said what she said and gave you the prenatals/pg test slip was because Carlos's count was really high this time and shes really confident you're going to get pregnant this cycle. At least thats what I'm going to think! I am seriously going to be up online stalking your chart come 6am.

Lauren - Betsy's right, your ovaries need a big talkin to. *Hugs* I don't think the question will be if you'll ovulate though, its a question of when. Try to be prepared if you get caught off guard like Betsy and have a back up plan!

Betsy ~ Whew! What a day, huh? I read to Cap'n what you said about the porn and naughty positions and he said, "Ah, I like a girl in naughty positions!" Like Cristina I can't wait to stalk your chart! A wonderful birthday present would be for both of us to pg!

Betsy - OMG I missed your IUI because of school! I'm so upset! I really wanted to have some time to send you those positive jujus. I'm glad things worked out in the end, but what a hectic and emotional day for you. I like the positive thinking of the nurse though by giving you your script for the beta already!!!

Deanna - Yep, it's completely normal to have breakdowns that come out of nowhere. I'm glad you had your friend there to talk to, however I'm not so crazy about her remark regarding patience. We all know it's not that simple. I think that if you've never had a full panel of bloodwork, u/s and possibly hsg, you should request to have those things done. Honestly, I'm surprised that you were given clomid without at least b/w.

Betsy - WOW!!! What a day, I will have you in my prayers every chance I get!!!

Betsy~Sorry it was a hectic day for you yesterday, but maybe the unexpected was good. I've got all my fingers crossed for you! Hopefully these 2 weeks fly by!

Cristina~I agree with you on Carlos's count! Maybe it was really good and they are confident this is it!

Rebecca~I did have b/w done. I just haven't had my estrogen checked or my progesterone after I O. I've had my progesterone checked many many times before cause thats what my old dr would always do and it was always normal. So they just couldn't figure out my spotting issue I think clomid is playing ticks on me cause i'm 7DPO now and my temp went up this morning and still no spotting. That has never happened!! My friend at work didn't mean the patience comment in a bad way. She was telling me I need to let one thing work at a time and stop jumping to wanting to do all these other tests. She's actually had 9 failed IUI's and is now trying frozen embroyo adoption. Its a place in Tenn and the success rate is really good, so i'm praying this works for her too!

Hi everyone!!!!!!!! Its almost the weekend!!!

Deanna - Oh good! I was worrying for a minute there!!

I don't think clomid is playing tricks on you..... I think it's doing what it's supposed to do. That's a good thing!!

Betsy ~ That's one heckuva day, kiddo. Holy crap. I did however have to LOL when you were saying the part about 'hello, I'm trying to zen here' (paraphrasing, of course). *thinking big-time sticky thoughts for you* I know the hopes are high in particular b/c of the recent BFP on your own, etc. I'll on the edge of my seat until we know.
