First off, thanks to all of you that really do read my blog! I am so thankful for good friends near and far that really care and are hopefully praying for this IUI to work! I love you all!!!
The drug I took did have some minor side effects, but nothing this gal can't handle! I was mostly moody. And when I say moody I mean one second everything was just peachy and the next I was shouting or crying. Literally a minute after said outbursts I felt like an ass...haha acting like a toddler when I didn't get my way! Just yesterday (CD10) I felt both of my ovaries burning. Not a terrible pain and I didn't have to take anything for it, but definitely noticeable (still feeling it a little now). I'm actually happy this happened because it proves my next point.....
This morning was my second appointment at Dr. Awesome's clinic. Although, unfortunately, I didn't get to see my doctor but it was a simple appointment anyway. The lady did my ultrasound to see how the Clomiphene worked...and boy did it! My right ovary had one dominate follicle (there were others not quite so big) that measured at a '14' and my left ovary had 2 one at '13' and one just a little smaller than that. So she said I could potentially end up with 2-3 eggs after my HCG shot! My next appointment is this Saturday at 9:30 am to make sure the follicles matured and give me instructions for my shot to release the eggs! So basically we are looking at the IUI to be Monday the 12th, one day before my husbands 31st birthday.
Since I have been so mushy lately, after my appointment this morning I sat in my car at work and just cried! Cried those happy tears that I have so longed for after all these long long long 9 years of waiting! I have faith that this will work for us and I feel closer to my husband than ever. I realized this morning that we have been through hell and back so many times in the 12 years we have been together that I can't possibly imagine ever living without him. I can't wait to see him later and talk more about the process, hug and kiss him :)
God bless you all,
Laine

It's super nice to see that you and hubby are still so much in love! I know this can contribute to any relationships usual ups and down. I'd be excited to hear about his involvement in this... ;) hint hint. Maybe an entry about his struggle too, if you or him is willing to share.
Oh we have definitely had major ups and downs due to the infertility issue. Unfortunately he is so utterly private it amazes me that he has a social life at all! So most likely he won't do an entry on my blog, but if there are specific questions you have I will be happy to mediate as best as I can! He typically tries to see the light at the end of the tunnel claiming "Everything will be ok, it will happen!". He is my positive 'rock'. <3
I know that you will have a great experience with this....you are keeping such a positive position thru it all even thru the mood swings and all.....I cannot wait to here the wonderful news that Laine is expecting;)
Thank you! And I can't wait to shout "I'm pregnant!" off the roof tops :)
