IUI #3


IUI #3 went very smoothly! We had 139 million spermies! We enjoyed our traditions of going to breakfast while the sperm gets washed, praying over the IUI after the nurse leaves, and taking a picture. Everyone has been so optimistic about this cycle for us...family, friends, my RE and nurses, even some blogger friends, but I think it is just because everyone doesn't want us to have to go to the next step. I'm not as emotionally or physically drained as I was when I first started going to my RE with all of the appointments, meds, and new procedures...I know what to expect now, and I feel like I'm friends with everyone at my RE's clinic so it is just makes it easier. And the 2ww isn't as hard because I don't expect to be pregnant anymore, I will just be shocked if/when it does happen. It is probably my way of dealing with the disappointment, but it definitely helps the 2ww not to be so painful.

I can totally relate to the "knowing what to expect" and not "expecting to be pregnant". It's sad that it comes to that point, really. I will admit moving to the next step, all the uncertainty comes back full force. I'm praying that this IUI is it for you. Baby dust!!!

I'm getting to the same place as you in not expecting to be pregnant, but goodness knows that it did happen once for you, which is all the more hope that it can happen again. You are the cutest IUI model! Your RE should pay you for advertisements! XOXO "Franchesska"

Courtney said...

I'm thrilled for you guys. Good luck this cycle. I hope this is it for you guys and that the little baby sticks! I can relate to the whole 'not expecting to be pregnant' feeling, and it's funny how comfortable you can become with your special place out there for everyone to see.
Good luck!

Yea Courtney! You're PUPO!!! Third times a charm!

Elaine said...

Still praying for your faithfully :) And sometimes knowing what to expect becomes a blessing in itself--because when you DO see 2 lines (and you WILL) it becomes even more special, or atleast it was for me...and I saw many years worth of one liners. Keep praying!

Michelle said...

I pray that you will be using the phrase "third time's a charm!" Baby dust!!!!
