speaking of the IUI

OMG it was sooo much better this time!! Last time, it hurt like hell, they couldn't get the cath in and the nurse went to get the clamp while the RE tried and got it. Yeah, it hurt. But this time, my wonder nurse did it and it was marvelous!

She was really happy with my follies and the lining of my uterus, and she said that J's sperm looked fantastic. So she was very excited and upbeat about our chances.

I'm going to chronicle my "symptoms" on here just for my own sake. I think it'll be helpful to go back, especially if we have to do another one.

1DPIUI:

• small twinges and sharp pains in both the left and right sides of my uterus
• soooorrrree nipples. i know it's too early, but when we went running last night, my nipples hurt soo bad. like they had been chapped or something. they were really sore and really hard. i run all the time with the same exact sports bras and for the same length of time and they have never done that. so it's different, therefore i am logging it.
• gums bled when i brushed my teeth...too early...yes, but it still happened and it NEVER happens!
• that is it my friends. it's too early anyway. i know that.
• Also, I took a baby aspirin, ate 1/5 of a pineapple and drank a glass of pomegranate juice.

2DPIUI

• cramps to where it feels like i am going to start my period.
