More TMI for the Masses
Well, our quest for a baby brother or sister hasn't gone by the wayside, although I haven't subjected you to listening to it for a while. At my last consult, my doctor determined that I've been futzing around with the Clomid for long enough. It looks like we're going to move forward to artificial insemination.
Sometime in the next couple of weeks, I'll get shots that will make my poor old ovaries jump into action. Shortly thereafter, my poor husband will have to make a deposit. His deposit will get to go on a teacup ride until all of the dizzy swimmers are gone and all that's left are the mighty and robust swimmers that will get the job done! Then the doc will then take them and put them where they need to be. Hopefully, a few weeks later, I'll get to pee on a stick, jump with joy, and then probably puke on my shoes if it's anything like last time.
At first I wasn't very excited about this whole prospect. I didn't hear much about successful IUIs. But then I started looking into it more, and found out that a lot of places make you try a few IUIs with just the Clomid before they move on to IUIs with the shots. My doctor knows that our money tree hasn't been producing the green like it should, so we're going straight for the shots.
There have also been a few little signs that might chalk up to me being strange, or might actually be little hints from God that this one's for real. I choose to think they're hints from God. The doctor wasn't available to do the procedure last month, so we had to wait until this month. If I get pregnant this month, Steve will be getting out of school just in time for delivery and to stay home and help with the baby during its first three months. I also started my cycle on Simon's birthday, which means the baby would be due on my niece's birthday. I know they're just silly little things, but I'm still holding onto them to stay positive. (It can't hurt.)
If you're the praying sort, or even if you're the positive vibe sort, feel free to throw either or both in my direction.
