Onward and upward (but this is still some bullshit).
Getting my AF holds a whole new meaning and emotion to me now than ever before. Each time I add more good things, and let go of some more of the bad ones. Some of those feeling for me are feeling like it's now a new chapter, a fresh start, a time away from pissing on those damn sticks while your doing the dance in your bathroom trying to hold it till you could get the package open, a feeling of I'm a little stronger this time than I was the last time, letting go that feeling that this must mean God doesn't want this for me, a moment to accept this time didn't go as planned and yes it hurts, realizing that the last box of tampons i bought will not be collecting dust like I had hoped, feeling like it's now easier to tell people this month was a no go because my faith was growing that it will happen just not sure when, seeing a new message on the thread from someone new that knows how I feel and with them the words sorry is understood and all you have to say, feeling skinnier and less bloated than I did a week and a half prior, understanding I wasn't that get pregnant first iui girl like I thought I would be, feeling more okay with expressing what I thought was the ugly parts of me to you guys and close friends just to realize one you cared regardless of it and two feeling so grateful to have real friends.
It's all that and so much more.
As women I see now some of the challenges only we go thru. But getting thru them makes us more beautiful, more courageous and stronger. It's is light and aura in and around us that makes us truly AMAZING WOMEN!
And what a great mother that will and does make us.
Hang in there.

Sorry about aunt flo showing up Sara. I had a couple of sips of margarita yesterday at my sister's party. Didn't want to drink a whole glass since I'm getting inseminated next week......God willing!
Question for all of you, I get my hair dyed and I was wondering if any of you do and what your dr's opinion is? My RE said that she only asks her patients not to do it during the first trimester. But she said her practice is split, there are 4 of them and 2 say not at all throughout the pregnancy but she and another dr says it's ok but not in the first trimester. Any thoughts?
I need to just do it then eat PB&J's for a week or two. Lord knows I probably added a couple greys since this process started. And I can't be preggo and grey! I better do it now!
However, to answer your question I really don't have any idea!

I'm Chrissy, 29 wife is Brittany, 26 in the SC suburbs of Charlotte, NC. I work in the investment operations dept of a broker/dealer. I bike in my free time which is reeking havoc on my AF this month.
Totally doing the pb&j thing lately since we spent all of our extra money on sperm and a closet remodel lol. If this next iui doesn't work, I'm totally looking in to selling some eggs to pay for another!
I'm down for Atlanta being the host city. I want to go to the aquarium. I heard it's awesome. Crossing my fingers for everyone still in tww and good luck to the rest of us starting a new cycle!
Though I have thought about donating my eggs. Idk if they are good enough quality but I'd like to give back for the help I've received from donors to make my dream come true.
Though, I did see at my RE office that there are multiple payment options if you decide to go the IVF route. Monthly payments, applying for medical credit, and programs that help women afford it at a lower cost. There is also a thing called mini-IVF that is a lot cheaper.
I asked my nurse last week about sex during IVF. She said it was okay to do until i do the transfer I guess once they put the embryos back in me. She said no sex until 5-6 weeks after that. I guess so that I don't shake them out. I really don't know why. After all my iui's during the TWW I was always worried about one being on my feet all day at work and not resting my body enough. And two having sex and shaking things around too much or having orgasms that put too much stress on my uterus. Sorry for the TMI. I guess anything in moderation would be okay. My OB always said just rest after my iui then go about my normal life the next day.
There's my two cents.!! Lol

I realize my deep selfishness but am very okay with it.)

I however second that. We need them in our lives. Every single day!!!!
No crossfit for me (looks painful) but I cycle outdoors. I don't stop, but I think I might take it very very easy after next iui. My blood work came back with very very low hcg levels on day 3 so maybe my egg was fertilized but couldn't implant because I was pushing too hard. Doc says resume normal life, but maybe he assumes I'm still sedentary due to my size.
