Here we go again!

Hello friends! It's nice to break radio silence! This past month off gave me much needed time to wrap up the school year, get Donny though a nasty tummy bug, and become optimistic about baby making again. So what does a teacher who is trying to be a mommy do with the first part of her break? Work on a nursery of course! I know, part of me thinks that is dangerous. If I don't get pregnant this time, I'll have a nursery to remind me of it several times a day. Be that as it may, it has been my way of staying positive. When I finish, I'll post pictures. It really is coming along beautifully!

I am much more nervous this time around. I think part of that may be the Clomid. It did it's job bringing up my progesterone, but I can tell I am more tense. Birth control effected me the same way. I get stressed out easily and am much more intense than usual. It's tough to remind myself that I need to cut myself some slack, that there is a reason for my mood.

A great example of this, is ovulation testing this month. The past couple of months, my cycle seemed like clockwork. I would get a positive LH surge on day 12 and ovulate on day 13. This month I started testing on day 10 as instructed.
Day 10 - negative...that's ok. I didn't expect anything but a circle on the screen.
Day 11 - circle again. Good deal.
Day 12 - circle? What? Well, I was I did have those infections and was on some antibiotics. It's weird, but I'll try not to panic.
Day 13 - CIRCLE? Ummm, I'm worried now. What's going on?
Day 14 - CIRCLE!!! This is not alright! What if I don't ovulate in June? Summer is my time window.
Day 15 - A SMILEY FACE! Praise The Lord! Whew!

So, here we go again. Tomorrow at 10:00 we will go in for our second IUI. Karen was on call so she will do the procedure for us again. That is another huge praise. She has a way of making everything exciting and relaxed. She is always smiling and positive and that helps tremendously! Please join me in praying for God's will in this procedure.
