WHAT?

One more week!?!?! Ugggggh!!! Ok so I must have completely mis-understood the nurse when I had my IUI last Thurs. I asked her if the waiting period is the same as when you are just trying, 2 week wait. She told me that I would come in for a blood test today so I assumed it would be the test to find out if the IUI took or not, WRONG!! Today I went in for the blood work only to find out and make sure my progestrone levels are ok, and if they're not I'll have to get one some medication to get my levels up.

Luckily it wasnt quite so much of a let down cause I talked with someone going through her 3rd IUI last night and she gave me the breakdown of events following the IUI. I'm SO thankful I talked to her last night cause I would have gone in today expecting to hear some news and been pretty let down. This whole waiting thing just really sucks, let me tell ya! ha ha. I'm staying positive though and praying every day that its our turn to have a family. :D

I called and talked to the nurse today to find out what I need to do from here. She said she would call me as soon as she has the progestrone levels back and then next Thurs (04/09) I take a home pregnacy test. If it's positive I go in that morning for blood test. If its negative, she said to wait a couple more days and re-test or I'll start my period and know its a negative. 7 more days seems like a lifetime, but then when I really think about it.. in 7 days, we might be starting our new life into parenthood and have a little blessing in my belly.. so in the big scheme of things, 7 days is totally worth the wait!

Talking to Sara, who is a friend of my bf Ashley, was really helpful. I have been having MAJOR pregnancy symptoms lately and as I said before, I swear I can force myself to have symtoms. I really didnt want to say anything about it cause I thought I was just being crazy! ha ha. Sara confirmed that she had the same exact symptoms and said they are from the shot Chadd gave me in my stomach, prior to the IUI. Ahhh haaaaa!!! Apparantly, the shot is a pregnancy hormone so between that and Clomid I'm cranky, a little bitchy (Chadd might say ALOT), tired, sore upper area (if you know what I mean), hungry (which I am always anyway), oh this list could go on and on.

Thank you to everyone for all the loving prayers!!! We appreciate it more than you know!! Lots of Love to all!
