The IUI went great. No problems what-so-ever. It was super fast.
Funny story...The doctor came all cheery in asking me if I felt 'lucky'?? Well, luck isn't quite the way I would describe my feeling at that moment. I was optimistic though. He got me thinking about a few things. Rain had been in my favor before and maybe it would be this time too.
Special Days it has rained on:
1. Our Wedding Day (was supposed to be an outdoor wedding)
2. Our 1st Anniversary
3. On the day Lyla was born
4. IUI - maybe it is 'luck'
We will know in 2 weeks! Stay tuned!

Updates...
It's been a crazy week and a half. Matt had his SA done last Wednesday. The results came back great. The only slight concern was his count, which was 32.4 mil. Like the nurse said, it only takes one! They would have liked it to be 50-150 mil but no real worries.
Friday, we met with Dr. Rushing to talk about our options. He suspects that Clomid is helping me ovulate but hurting the 'environment' per se. Meaning, the sperm can't get through my cervix. He suggested we move on to IUI. Matt and I figured this was our next step, so it came to no real surprise. Thankfully, I was at the beginning of a new cycle so we don't have to wait. As soon as I get a + OPK I call the office and we will go in for the IUI that day or the next. Exciting!!!
Yesterday was a really tough day for me. February 3, 2010 marked the one year anniversary of my mom's passing. I was an emotional wreck most of the day but I made it through. I am very thankful for the time we had together. She is my inspiration to do well in life. I love and miss her very much.
I am feeling much better today. I was thinking I would get a + OPK this morning but I did not. I will test again this evening. It is my hope to get a + tomorrow or Saturday. Ovulation is predicted for Saturday but I wouldn't be surprised if it was delayed by stress and emotions from yesterday. Dr. R said they would do the IUI on the weekend as well.
Well, that just about sums it up. I will update as soon as I know when the IUI is scheduled!
