Now.. we wait

The IUI was completed around 11:20am on 11/11/11.... I was put in a waiting room around 5 after 11. I heard the ladies out in the hall saying, "it's like a count down to new years!!" and it dawned on me that it was almost 11:11 on 11/11/11. I sat there thinking... hmm if they come in within the next 5 minutes our baby could be "made" at 11:11 on 11/11/11... but alas they had a little toast and celebration out in the hall together. Hehe So I'll have to settle with you were made around 11:11 on 11/11/11. lol The procedure went well and the processing of the sperm brought the levels up much better. I think this could be quite promising! My sister had a friend or co-worker that had the IUI done, and due to the HCG injection you're given any pregnancy test you take will give a false positive, so she took a test every morning until she got a negative, then she knew if the next one was positive that she was pregnant. I am following in those footsteps thanks to my friend Johanna that passed along a large bag of ovulation test strips, which also happened to contain quite a few pregnancy test strips. Johanna, if you're reading this, I hope you don't mind! Considering they expire next year anyways ;o) hehe

Regardless of my results I'll be doing a lab test next week to check my progesterone levels to make sure I truely did ovulate (which I know I did because I could feel it) and then on 11/23 I have a written prescription for a blood pregnancy test. My nurse is so cute and funny... she wrote on the prescription to run the test state and fax results ASAP!! LoL That's right I want to know ASAP! It will make for one of the most Thankful Thanksgivings I've ever had!!

Bring on the wait!!! I am enjoying feeling more positive about the situation. Bryan encouraged me to stop in the mall for a mini makeover, which after it was done he called it my mommy makover. We're both looking at it as a positive already! And why not? It will be ok if it doesn't happen... we'll just try again, but I don't want to think that way yet.
