Symptoms!

So today I am 4 DPO. I swear that I have all of the symptoms of a pregnant woman. Even though it is WAY to sson I am moody, hungry, nauseous, cramping, tired.. You name it I have it. I don't know if it is my mind playing tricks on me or if it is really happening. Some of the other girls on the same cycle as mine seem to be having these symptoms too. I think I am losing my mind. I think I want this so badly that I am obsessing over every little thing that is going on in my body. If I sneeze I think it is a pregnancy symptom. We are going to test this Sunday night. 8DPO. It is probably too early to see a positive test or not but we are going to try. Wish us luck and LOTS OF BABY DUST!!!

Fertilizing!!

So we did our insemination Thursday evening and Friday morning. Today is Saturday and I should ovulate this evening or tomorrow morning. Let's just hope and pray that the little swimmers can reach my egg!! We aren't really stressing too much right now, want to stay calm until testing begins!

Discouraged...

Today is the day that our soon to be child arrives in a nitrogen tank.....
I am still getting used to that. I am feeling as though we have missed ovulation. All the signs point to ovulation, yet I never got a positive LH surge!!!!!! Let's just hope and pray it is my body playing tricks with my mind. A friend told me the first AI usually stresses you out enough to cause your LH surge to come late. I hope she is right.. I get off work today at 12:30 so hopefully I don't miss the fed ex guy dropping off the swimmers. I really hope it happens the first time. I don't want to go through the roller coaster most women do.

Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

Why am I obsessing? All I can think about is baby, baby, baby. I am already calling Ali mommy!!! Our little swimmers arive tomorrow. It can't come soon enough. I still am not +OPK. Which is great because I don't want it to come before they get here. That is my worst fear. I just wish I could snap my fingers and then it will be Thursday. I have started chatting with a girl who is on the same cycle as I am and that really helps. She is super sweet and I am thankful for all of her help!! Well tomorrow is the big day. Lots of baby dust!

One Year Later.

It is one whole year later and we now have more ducks in a row and are more prepared to start trying to conceive. We have registered with a sperm bank, NW Cryobank, and will be purchasing our first vial next week. I am so excited. They will ship directly to our house and we will start the insemination. We are going to do this procedure ourselves. Wish us luck.
