The funniest part of today? Prior to the IUI, CP and I both dropped Izzy off at school today. Her teachers noticed how proud she was to walk hand in hand with both of us and asked what was going on today. We just laughed and said that it was because we were both working from home but as soon as we got in the car we burst out laughing because wouldn't that have been a shock to them if we told them the truth. "Oh yeah, we are just heading out to jizz in a cup and then get inseminated. No big deal." LOL.

Infertility can make things awkward
The IUI is complete for today. I couldn't even muster up the interest to wear funny socks. Oh how things have changed from my first IUI and the hope that I had of IUI being the answer for us. The good news is that CP gave a good sample- 11 million after the wash (they like to see anything over 9 million) and 86% motile (they like to see over 45%). I'm cramping a little bit but it's not too bad and it will likely go away soon.

Wishing you nothing but the best!!!
That comment I'm counting as your funny socks for this cycle. And my fingers are crossed that you will get to retell that story again and again in the near future.
For some, IUI does work and I hope that you will be in that category this time around! You never know. I'm with Christy. Maybe you will be sharing this story again many times in the future. At least there is SOME humor to be found in infertility! Sending all sorts of good vibes your way!
You made me laugh with the jizz in a cup.. that would have definitely made for an interesting start to that teacher's day! :) I get how the IUI has changed, where before it was a beacon of hope on its own and now it's more of a consolation prize, but I'm glad the sample was above-average and hope for nothing but the best. Stranger things have happened... I will think of you as you wait and hope that things work out!
