Both IUIs are done. I have to say they went very very smoothly. The second batch wasn't as impressive as the first, only six million, but every little helps I suppose. So now it's the waiting game. The all notorious two week wait. But before I get into that craziness, I want to reflect on some of the little kindnesses people said and did over these past few days that really touched me.
First when the IUI was being done and I was lying flat on my back with my feet in stirrups, Mr. T took my hand, leaned toward me and looked in my eyes and told me he loved me. He kissed me over and over and I felt that this was a beautiful way for our maybe baby to be conceived. I was glad he had involved himself in the procedure this way and made me feel a little more positive that this might be it.
When the IUI was done, Mr. T asked Dr.B about payment and he said no, no charge. This one is a gift. It really took me by surprise. It was so sweet of him to do this. He said he was really hoping that this was the one for us. It means so much to me that even my doctor is rooting for us.
So I came out of the clinic smiling and happy, and full of the spirit of human kindness. And hopefully some fast-moving determined sperm who will get where they need to go!
Then I came home to read all your comments, wishing me the best. These really put a big smile on my face. I cannot thank you enough. Melissa G, in particular, who has been my cycle buddy for a while now and said something that never even crossed my mind. She said "Clare, this HAS to be our month!!! We've been cycle buddies long enough. I want to share a DUE DATE with you now! I am hoping with everything I've got that this will finally be it." A due date? OMG! I gave up thinking about these things long ago. But she's right! Got to have some positive attitude! And it would be so cool to share a due date with Melissa G and all the rest of you who are in the 2ww!
Positive Attitude? Too much? Screw it!
