Me

This journey begins with a lot of excitement and fears, which was the reason for this blog when I started it in 2010. It was meant to be an outlet for me, but after only two posts, I quickly realized I was a far more private person than I thought. Three years later, we are still on this journey and a lot has changed. I've come to realize that sharing this very personal journey may not only help me, but may help another woman going through the same thing.

A little about me. I've endured a lot of heart-break growing up. Through heart-aches I've gained strength, courage, faith, and the ability to laugh. I truly believe with God, loving friends and laughter, any soul can heal. I'm a strong and positive person, but I can feel this journey is testing the very person that I am. I'm grateful to have awesome women in my life walking with me. I'm also blessed with an amazing husband. I've had to be strong a lot in my life, but he has taken that burden from me, and I just couldn't be more grateful to have him as my husband.

Surge

Everything has changed!! I don't think I've mentioned I'm also doing ovulation testing. The nurse told me to continue with ovulation testing which they have me doing after 3pm with nothing to drink between 12pm and 3pm. I had a surge today. I called the nurse immediately and IUI is happening tomorrow! I sure hope you can hear my excitement.

My husband will go in at 7:30am to do a sperm collection. Or as he said, "I'll leave my sperm at the door for you." Ha! I love that I have a funny husband. :) They will do a sperm wash prior to the IUI. A sperm wash separates motile and healthy sperm from the non-motile and unhealthy sperm. It also separates the sperm from the semen. I had no idea that sperm and semen where two different things. They will only inject sperm into the uterus. Inserting the semen could cause infection.

I will then go in at 9am for the IUI! I'm thinking of asking them if they could just hang me upside down for a few hours. ;)

It's out of my hands. It's in God's hands. I trust whatever God has planned for us.
