I have decided to try different things that have been suggested to me during this 2ww. Tonight's activity is cooking. First I made myself a birthday cake. My birthday is Sunday and since I am pretty much skint I won't be doing much. The cake is a pink lemonade cake with with pink lemonade frosting and I added my own little flairs for decorations.

I also decided to make a special dinner for tonight. I have been told that if I have a favorite food I should make it now because if I get my BFP who knows if baby will like it, especially if it's a strong flavor or smell. Well I absolutely love garlic bread so I made a home-made garlic bread that the hubby and I love. I added a few more cloves of garlic than I normally would to make sure I get my fill lol. I am also making spaghetti with a roasted garlic sauce. I am hoping this will take care of any cravings if we do get our rainbow.

I am not sure what I am going to do tomorrow but I have tons of ideas. If anyone else has any ideas please feel free to share them!

Well, today was the big day. I had my 2nd IUI today and "clinically" everything looked good (TMI ALERT: my cervix was open and my cervical mucus was good. And of course the hubby's count was excellent, motility was a little slow but nothing too bad. I even got to see all the little guys under a microscope which was awesome.

Next Tuesday we have to go in for a progesterone test and hopefully its above 10! If it is that means I ovulated strong and there's a better chance of conception. Then one week after that is the test and hopefully we get our BFP.

The two week wait is one of the most nerve wracking experiences a person has to go through. The range of emotions experienced in those two weeks is just insane. I have never been so happy, sad, hopeful, nervous, anxious, doubtful, worried, and thoughtful in such a short span in my life. This can all happen in less than five minutes by the way.

During these 2 weeks I am going to count on my husband to keep my pee-on a stick- aholic ways under control. I know by the end of week one I'll be dying to test and if I get a BFN I know I'll be upset. I am going to try to make it the whole two weeks this time. Luckily I have a very supportive, understanding husband who knows that if I do cheat and test early and get the bfn that my screaming and crying doesn't mean I've "completely" lost it. Who knew peeing on a stick could make a person hate everything and everyone so much.
Keeping the specimen warm! LOL
