WAITING CONTINUED

Ok....
So, I will cut to the chase. On 08/13/07 and 08/14/07, my DP and I tried our hand at babymaking! It has been about a year since we took a break.

We started back up in May/June with a new doctor, new meds (Clomid), Thyroid levels in the correct range, my DP was more onboard this round and generally a new attitude.

After our practice round of Clomid with the doctor, things looked fine. We were going to do our first "real" round in July/August, but due to a training class out of town, I was not able to make the ultrasound appointments. I had already taken the Clomid for the month, so we said what the f- lets give it a try.

We ordered up some ICI samples and waited for a postive surge on the OPKS'. Well, last sunday night, we go our first "light surge" Monday morning, a more definate surge! On Monday night, we did our first imsemination. It was a little awkward, but 10,000 times better than the doctors office. Tuesday night was much better. It went much smoother and my body was acting more like I was "ovulating". I had ovulation cramps and more CM.

I had the Big-O after each insemination and remained on my back for most of the night. It was a great experience.

Well now fast forward a week. I know I am not a newbie, but I will tell you that I have been scouring the internet looking for "early pregnancy" symptoms. Since this time around, I am not using progesterone, I feel like the symptoms I am experiencing are pretty legit. Either that, or I am crazy.

So, I have had sore nipple, nausea (today-all day), and more frequent urination (3times more than normal). I usually only go once or twice (at the most) durin the day. I have been going atleast 7-8times. Its crazy.

So fingers crossed. I hope these aren't just symptoms I have made up in my head. I will feel like a LOSER!

Waiting

Its been a while since I have updated! Did I let everyone know I am such a HORRIBLE JOURNALER. Uggh.
Oh well, Life has been crazy busy (of course).

Our puppy has been keeping us very busy. I have forgotten how much energy those pups have. We go the park 2-3 times a week, so he can run, run, run. Then we walk everymorning before work (not my favorite!--I would rather sleep). and then its play time-all the time. But he is soooo cute. And he is such a good dog. I couldn't have asked for abetter puppy. Especially after hearing all of the the lab "horror" stories. His only destructive habit is tearing out the grass (just little patches) and bringing us the plants we have growing. Our front yard looks bare, but it could be worse.

My DP broke her ankle about 1 month ago. We had gone camping in the mountains and as we were packing up to leave, she twisted in a little rain gulley. Her ankle flopped side to side and twisted causing a crack. So she tore her tendons and cracked her ankle. She has the worst luck!! So almost 3 weeks of crutches (non-weight baring) and now she can walk around.
Having her up and around is sooooo much better. She is a horrible patient!!!

Ok. I am going to end this now. I have to run to the park. I will try and get back on to journal our first ICI!!!
