If at first you don't succeed, try again

Well, try one didn't work, so today was try number two. We were not expecting it to be so soon, but when the little pink line says go, we go. We were planning to take off work on Thursday or Friday to make the trip to Eugene for the insemination, but the line was dark this morning. Went to school, and then in the bathroom after class I did two more just to make sure. Sure enough, we decided it was time, so L went to one class and then skipped the other with her pregnant teachers blessing. We decided better early than late as they think this might be the problem last time.

The swimmers this month time were a little better as well. TMC count was 21 million still, but motility was up to 3.5 from 3.0 last time. Go swimmers go. we layed with the hips elevated for 15 mins in the office, and then went to the car and layed elevated in the backseat for another 10 or so mins just for good measure. We then went and got the amazing bbq pulled pork and brisket...if you want some goooood bbq, this is the place. We decided after that to go home and let out the little rascals since they had been home alone all day. Stopped at Joanne fabrics and got cord for our new necklaces that we made from our good luck charms for today.

Tomorrow I have school all day, so I am off to bed. We decided not to tell everyone we were trying again because it adds to the stress already there naturally. Only a few people know, and when we get pregnant, we will tell everyone. Crossing our fingers harder and relaxing more this time hoping for a different result!

We did it

It has been a crazy week or so! On Sept 2nd we went in for our first appt witht he doctor. We chatted and planned to wait till Oct for our first try. Well after a night of talking about it we decided to go for it this month and then on Sept 8th we were in the office again. This time for insenmination!

It was not nearly as bad as people make it sound. We did the ovulation test the afternoon before before the Labor day BBQ we were going to.Line was super dark in comparison to the previous ones, which were almost non existent. A friend there had just been through all of this a couple months ago and when we showed her the picture I took she said we needed to go in for sure. So, 6:30 the following morning when I woke up and my temp had gone up, we got excited. Doc didn't open till 8:30 so we got ready and started driving. By the time they opened we were getting close, and when we go to the office, they were almost ready. We went in and did the final stuff, and by 10:00am L and Lesa (the nurse) were doing the insem. L and I were both very excited she got to help. After the big event we went out for some southern soul food to make it final.

Now we sit and wait...not easy at all. We are not good at this game, and neither of us is sure if we are pregnant or not. I am afraid I trying to read into it to much, and L changes her mind every few hours. It is not a fun game, we just want to know for sure!
