The IUI went great today!! Nurse said the "stuff" Chadd brought in this morning was GREAT so hopefully this first one will take. It wasnt as bad as the HSG test I had done in Jan, thats for sure.. but it was definately uncomfortable with a little cramping. More cramping and a few sharp pains came afterwards, but it will all be worth a little one in the near future :D
So here's how it went down today:
Let me first start off my saying I think I might have slept for like 5 min last night.. I guess I was just really anxious and quite honestly a little scared too. I can definately scare myself into anything, if I read enough horror stories about it. Its definately a weakness of mine. So anyway, we drop off the "stuff" this morning at 730am. We went to a coffee shop, Chadd got a coffee and we chilled out for about 20 min before we had to get back to the dr's ofc. Our scheduled appt was 830am. We get back to the office and are taken back into the room.. yes "we". Chadd wanted to be in the room during the procedure. The nurse inserts the catheter with the specimen in through my cervix into my uterus. Apparantly my cervix opening is very small and she said thats probably why the HSG hurt so bad. She could barely get the catheter through my cervix. She finally got it in and released the specimen, and thats when the cramping occurs. Its only like a 10 second ordeal so she is in and out pretty quickly. After inserting the specimen, she tilted the table backwards almost like I was upside down. I had to lay there for 20 minutes but ended up there for about 30+ cause she lost track of time. I told her it was just more time for the spermies to swim for the eggs, ha ha :D So, afterwards I felt a little cramping and some slight sharp pains. When I got home I took some Ibprofin and took a little nap.. when I woke up I was totally ok and headed into work. Definately not as bad as I thought, but hoping I dont have to go through it again. Its emotional, getting expensive, and most of all I'm just ready to be a MOMMY!
Thank you everyone for the sweet texts this morning and many prayers!! I go back next Thurs morning for a blood test, where they will check my progestrone and find out if the IUI took. Please keep us in your prayers this week.. I am betting this week goes by super duper slow!! Lots of Love to all!!

Sarah and Chadd - Just clicked on your blog from Johnna's and read what's been going on with yall. That is very exciting news! We went fertility issues for a year before getting pregnant with our oldest son Nolan. It will happen for you guys!! I will be praying for ya!
