The eagle has landed.....or should I say the 18.7 million sperm (good number!!) have been placed directly in my uterus!
I am potentially 1 day pregnant today!
The procedure went surprisingly smooth. I had minimal pain compared to last time and although I did have cramping throughout the day it was manageable.
Only one issue......I have a small (and paranoid) bladder, if i am going to be in any situation where I am unable to use the bathroom I immediately have to pee. It's ridiculous really......on road trips i am unable to drink anything or we will be stopping every 10 miles. Anyway.....so I get in the room and immediately realize I should have used the bathroom. So I go out in the hallway and head for the bathroom and get ambushed by the nurse in the hallway who tells me I cannot use the bathroom. WHAT! Apparently when your bladder is full you cervix's curves and kinks straighten out making it much easier to insert the catheter. Well let me tell you that laying down with your feet in stirrups with a speculum in you and a catheter in your cervix is uncomfortable enough without having to pee!! And then your suppose to relax!?!? Listen!.....if I relax too much I may very well pee on you so lets just do the damn thing already. Anyway turns out the full bladder is the reason the IUI didn't hurt as much so I was actually thankful for the nurses warning....in hindsight.
I'm officially losing my mind and it's only 1 day after the IUI, actually to be honest the crazy in me started yesterday. On our way to dinner I saw a rainbow......I took this as a positive sign, it must mean that this is our month! So then last night we're watching Deadliest Catch (the crab fishing show in case you're not familiar) and they also saw a rainbow minutes before they pulled up the crab pot and they (lunging at hope, like myself) thought that this must be a good sign.......so then they show the crab pot slowly being pulled up and.........NO CRAB!! Damn f-ing lying rainbow!! So this is when the crazy starts....maybe my rainbow was lying also!?!?! Then I was thinking maybe since the procedure went so well that it is a good sign that we will have a good outcome....then I recall that a co-worker whom is currently pregnant as a result of IUI said her IUI was much more painful then the others when she became pregnant. .........see told you I was losing it! Soon I'll be walking around having conversations with my uterus. If I thought it would help I would!!
Regardless of the outcome of this month I feel good about it. I know we gave it a great shot this month and that makes me happy.
