It's been exactly one week since I had my IUI. Fingers and toes crossed that we come up with a big fat positive this month!
First good news was that my progesterone blood work that was drawn on Wednesday was good. Doctors typically like to see over 15 in a medicated cycle. Mine was >60! The highest I've had so far was a 29. So I'm hoping that this is the start of something good :-)
Been feeling good all week. We were able to head down to Palm Springs to stay with some friends and "hang out" with them. They have two little (well 7 and 9 now so not so little) ones that are wonderful. They seem to adore us and we adore them. We played in the pool with them, played games, watched movies, ate pizza and made some anklets. Fun times! Their parents know what we are going through and the mom told the kids a bit too, so they could say a pray for us at church. Then while we were there Alexa said she thought we would have twin girls :-) So cute!
Today I felt a bit dizzy and tired - not sure if it is related to anything. I've also had minor spotting which scares me but some people say it can also be a good thing.... implantation bleeding that is! However, I think I've had this in a previous cycle and each of those were negative. So I try hard not to get my hopes up too much but all the while hoping that the little side effects I'm feeling are from being pregnant.
So we continue to wait. We have a blood test to confirm or deny pregnancy next Friday. Even if Aunt Flo comes before then I must go in for a blood test since some people can bleed but still be pregnant.
Still keeping my chin up , trying to stay relaxed, and thinking positive baby thoughts!
I'm still thinking this is the month that we rolled the right number on the dice :-)
