So I had my first IUI this morning and things went well. I was super nervous this morning as I didn't know what to expect but it wasn't bad at all. We woke up relatively early so I wasn't rushing around but of course I hit the worlds worst traffic on my way to the RE. Ya gotta get there within the hour and I squeaked in with 10 min remaining! I have a dear friend suffering from IF who goes to the same office, and I got to see her which is nice. After the "drop off" I had to wait around for an hour at which point my anxiety took over!! By the time they called me in I thought I was gonna puke, I made myself so nervous. Which was all for nothing. My Dr's (I see 2) are just so great! They make silly jokes and are never too serious. I think what I love most about them is that they don't have that mightier than thou attitude that a lot of Dr's do. Even the nurse is great! They are all always so optimistic (and not in that annoying way). They went over my hubby's numbers (which were great!!) and the procedure itself was maybe 5 minutes. Afterwards they lay ya back to hang out for a few minutes and I was on my merry way.

I go back on the 24th to check my progesterone and then the 30th for a pregnancy test. After last months breakdown when I found out I wasn't pregnant, I am going to focus much more on not over analyzing everything....wish me luck on that one. I am going away next weekend to celebrate my 2 year anniversary with the best husband ever (for me) so that should help distract me a little. I find that throughout this whole TTC journey I'm always wanting time to go faster and not enjoying all the blessings around me. So my overall goal is just to enjoy and be thankful for each day and not wish it away too fast.

    I'm glad things went well! I'll be thinking of you and praying for you over the next two weeks. Yay for weekends away with the husband!

    Happy early anniversary!! You are so right about cherishing the now because looking too far ahead and hoping for something better will make us miss what's infront of us...glad to hear things went well at the appt! The dreaded 2WW is the worst -I'm 10DPO right now and it's driving me crazy!! I wish we could press a button and just float through the two weeks without a single thought on whether or not we are preggers, and driving ourselves crazy! I felt some AF like cramps this afternoon but I'm not sure if my mind/body is playing tricks on me! I've read somewhere that that might be a good thing but now I'm not sure! gah!

    I won't wish for your two weeks to fly by, so I'll wish for it to be filled with great things to keep your mind off searching for symptoms. And I also wish for a great result!
