Maybe Baby
July 14, 2011
Yesterday was our first IUI cycle. It was definitely interesting. We got to C.C. at about 9:15 and waited until about 9:50 for the spermies to thaw. We got to the room where the insemination would take place and got the show on the road.
***Graphic Detail Alert***
They had to use an extra long speculum in order to get past my (deeper-than-normal) cervix. This took a couple of tries, and because any sort of lubrication would affect the sperm adversely, it was a little uncomfortable. Once in place, our RN inserted the catheter straight into my uterus. Then they injected the little swimmer up into my uterus.
We stayed in the room for about 15 minuted more while I layed flat on my back to make sure the little guys made it safely to their destination. For the rest of the day, Jenn didn't really allow me to do much. My job was to take it easy and relax. This was actually exhausting. But today was back to work. I often wonder if me being on my feet for 10 hours a day would be a bad thing, but I guess I am not the first person to get pregnant while working retail.
In less than 2 weeks (on July 25th) we are going to be able to test for pregnancy with an at-home pee-stick. That day can not come soon enough as far as Jenn and I are conserned. I am trying to take it easy, and not do any hard work physically or eat anything crazy... trying to be as healthy as possible.
Not to jinx anything, but we both have a good feeling about everything, and so does everyone else that knows. I decided to tell my abuela (grandmother) before telling my mother. I would like to tell my mother only when we are preggers, and it has been confirmed and safe for at least a month or two.
For now, we wait... wish us luck!
