Well, I was pleasantly surprised to wake up to ovulation pain yesterday. I was sure it would be today, but nope, my temp had already started to climb and ovulation was in full swing. So, the Inseminator (a.k.a. Sperminator) returned and did his manly deed.
This go round was quite painful. I'm still walking gingerly today as I reckon my corpus luteum is oozing its contents all down my fallopian tubes. It's a true wonder as to how conception can take place in all that.
I wish I could say that I have some measure of hope or confidence. I don't really. The magic notion that IUI would be a quick trip to pregnancy has faded, leaving me jaded once more. I see this more as a hoop that I must jump through before moving on to the FET. Sad, but true.
Which of course means that this will be the lucky cycle (Murphy's Law). Just when you have everything all set for the next cycle, bam that's when it happens. We shall see.
Meanwhile, ovulation and clomid have left me, well, uhhh, constipated and I am stuffing my face with beans and chocolate trying to remedy the situation (sore ovaries and constipation don't mix well). TMI...I know.
Day 17 in this crazy journey to motherhoood...

My sister had to go through a lot to get pregnant and the Good lord blessed, she is now pregnant. Hang in there. God never said it would be easy but he did say it would be worth it.
Thanks, Jason. I do believe it will happen in God's time...I just wish I had a clock that was divinely synchronized! Thanks for stopping by and for the encouragement.
