I started my period yesterday. I saw it coming because when I woke up my basal temperature had taken a dramatic fall. I feel pretty down about this. I had a really good feeling about our IUI working this time around.
I just hope and pray that my husband and I CAN have children together. I worry because I've never been pregnant before, not even a pregnancy that was lost. I want so badly for us to have little ones. I hope there's nothing wrong with me.
We are heading out today on a camping trip. That will help.
hmmmmm

11 dpiui ... the sun is shining and Spring Break has begun!!
Let me just start by saying that it is BEAUTIFUL outside!! What a way to start Spring Break!! I am in an excellent mood today, so many positive things are going on right now!
Here's how my day started!
This morning I woke up and took my temperature immediately as I always do. My heart sank as I saw that it was only 97.4, down .5 from the past couple of days.... then I noticed that it was only 3 am! I went back to sleep and woke up at my normal time and my temperature was 98!!! Hooray! Still in the game!
Here are some other wonderful things going on today:
We got our new oven delivered so my husband has gone out to pick up something delicious to bake!
Work was good, all the kids were so excited to get out of school and start their vacation!!
We found out yesterday that my husband's financial aid stuff has gone through and he will be going to Western Oregon University this Spring. He only has about a year left for his I.T. degree, I am so proud of him for going back to school!
He was in the military so we're getting a nice chunk of $$ (G.I. bill) for him to go back to school.
The sun reminds me of my mom, especially in Spring- it's so beautiful and sunny today, I feel her everywhere! All kinds of flowers and plants are about to burst into bloom, come to life, love and kindness is in the air, this is her season!
Tomorrow is officially the first day of Spring!
We're beginning to plan a road trip for the summer! We're thinking of driving across country to Iowa to visit Jason's grandparents and many aunts/uncles/cousins/etc. We haven't taken a big vacation like this for a long time!
We're also planning on taking a mini vacation in the middle of the week- a test drive/road trip with our dog to see how he does!
Today was my last day of work until the 29th!! Yayyy!!!
Little sister's birthday on Sunday!! Yayyy!! I love her so!
Grandpa's 88th birthday this week too!! :)
Today was PAYDAY!
We might find out soon that we are going to become parents for the first time!!
Now I'm going to take my little dog out for a walk....
Have a beautiful day!

10 dpiui
My morning basal temp has been high and steady (the last three mornings in a row it was 97.9) For me that's high!
Last night/early in the morning I kept waking up feeling sharp low cramps!
Could this be an early pregnancy sign??
I am staying hopeful!!

9dpiui ... so very sleepy!
I'm feeling pretty good today, I am also feeling extremely tired!! I take this tiredness as a good sign; though it probably has to do with the busy work day I had!
Yawwwnnnnn ...
I work at a high school and it is wonderful and challenging and crazy and fun and dramatic, all at the same time. The kids just finished their second trimester last week (Finals week = CHAOS!) and have just started their third trimester classes this week.
Here's the great news: Two more school days till Spring Break!! Woo hoo!!
At this moment I'm lying in bed with the laptop- sunlight coming in through my bedroom window, my little dog sleeping in it. Ahhhhh. I feel half delirious! Maybe I'll take a nap before we head over to my grandpa's for corned beef and cabbage tonight... it is St. Patrick's Day after all! We aren't Irish, my grandfather's Polish, but he loves celebrating with big dinners and family every chance he gets!! (Now THAT's the Polish in him!) :)
Soooo.... I got good news yesterday regarding my 7dpiui (7 days past iui) progesterone test! :)
My level was at 11.5! Meaning that I definitely ovulated!! YESSS!! I'm still in the game as of now!
And here I am 9dpiui.
Symptoms? Hmmm. Maybe?
-I've been kind of crampy/stomach upsetty/bloaty for the last couple of days, but we had a few days of food we shouldn't have since the iui; pizza, a Hungarian restaurant, and a delicious brunch buffet with my grandpa. So, with all of that I think it's normal that my stomach would be upset!
-I've been EXHAUSTED the past couple of days, but it could be my body adjusting to daylight savings time (I wake up for work at 6 am, so that would make sense)
That's all.
Oh! Another reason that I'm feeling good -totally random- I ordered some books from Amazon yesterday that I plan on reading over the break!! I am so looking forward to relaxing!!
Woooo, I'm feeling so sleepy! :)

Our second IUI
On Sunday morning, much to my surprise because it was only CD13, I got my little smiley-face test result from the ovulation test kit and HOORAY scheduled my IUI appointment for early the next morning. We had a really nice day together, we both took the whole day off of work and after the procedure went out for Chinese food at P.F. Chang's, (which I'd never been to before and I absolutely LOVED!!) and a movie, Alice in Wonderland in 3D, (which wasn't that great, but still really fun!)
My husband's stats were awesome once again:
Pre wash count- 214 million/ml
Motility- 90%
Progression- 4+
Post wash count- 107 million/ml
I go in on the 15th for my progesterone lab, and then test on the 24th!!
I am hoping and praying that this is the one!!
And... last night I discovered that I had amazing EWCM, this may not sound very exciting to the average every-day person, but to someone with fertility problems, it is just the BEST!
We did our thang...
If we are pregnant this month, I would believe that it happened last night!
Iui or not! :)
