Well, IUI #3 was a go! I woke up yesterday
feeling excited and nervous! As D and I were leaving the house, my mom stopped
me and gave me a big hug and told me congratulations on my conception, lol! I
thought it was a lovely sentiment and made me feel really good! We got to the
clinic at 7:30 and got D ready for his deposit! I had to run him to work after
and made my way back by 9. I sat in the parking lot listening to music and
praying. A song that I absolutely loved came on, “Be Alright” by Belle Histore.
Some of the lyrics are, “I know someone’s watching over me, and it will all be
alright.” It was the perfect song to calm my nerves! I began to feel hopeful
and excited! I walked in feeling great! As I waited in the waiting room, I got
a couple texts from some of my best friends wishing me luck. It put a smile on
my face! Soon after, I made my way to the room and waited for my doctor to come
in. With the wash, they were able to put in about 8.8 million motile sperm. I
felt pretty good about that number. And in a flash, it was in and I was left to
an empty room to wait 10 minutes and let them take their mighty journey. I laid
there praying, wishing, singing, and breathing. There was nothing left to do
but to hope and pray with everything I have in me that this is it, this is the
day I conceive my miracle! The timer dinged and I was ready to leave. I just
felt amazing! This time has felt different than the times before. I don’t know
how to explain it, it just does. I feel more hopeful, uplifted, and excited
than times past. I have such amazing support and love from all of my friends
and family, and received it throughout the day. My mom called and said she
wanted to take us out to a celebratory dinner last night, so we went to Dickey’s…..how’s
that for irony ;) We even told A that we were trying and hoping that we would
have a baby soon, and she was ecstatic! The entire day was just absolutely wonderful!
I hope and pray that I just conceived our child, because I want to be able to
tell him/HER that the day she was conceived was filled with love, positive
thought, and pure happiness! I just couldn’t have got any better! So today is
day one of the dreaded two-week wait. I started Crinone gel just as a
precautionary measure approved by my doctor to hopefully help things progress
beautifully. I will continue to eat healthy, and live a healthy and better life
in the mean time. I hope to post some great updates soon! And if anyone reading
this can please send along happy/positive thoughts, prayers, and love this way,
it would be greatly appreciated! We need all of it we can get!
