8DPIUI

National Infertility Awareness Week is coming to a close. I have to say that I am kind of surprised by the lack of responses/interest that I had to my posts on Facebook.  I guess a lot of people just don't know what to say?
How many of you have been blogging about NIAW? Have you received nothing but ::cricket chirps:: too?
Here's another great IF video that you could share on Facebook.  Don't quote me but I think she has something to do with the 999 Reasons to Laugh at Infertility Blog.

Today I am 8DPIU. The good news is that my temp went up this morning. The bad news is that I really can't trust it because of the meds I'm on. I should actually give up temping all together while on fertility drugs since they can make your BBT kind of whacky BUT I can't. I like feeling like I have "control" over something, even though I realize I don't actually have control of anything. The illusion of control is there.

Oh! I can finally announce that I am going to be an aunt again! My sister is expecting her third baby.  I'm not going to lie. I cried when I found out BUT it could have had something to do with the fact that she sent me the sweetest, most empathetic e-mail ever.  She wrote that she understood how hard this will be on Mike and I and that she knows we are happy for them but that we're sad for us, and that's okay. I'm so lucky to have such a supportive family. Love you sis! She's due in October and I am hoping and praying that the IUI worked and we get to be two knocked up broads together in England!

Last night I went to bed with cramps and a backache. This morning my boobs are a little sore but nothing like the way they're described by women who are KTFU. I am going to POAS in the morning to see if the trigger shot is out of my system so I can start testing for real when my tests arrive in the mail in a couple days. Stay away AF. Stay away.
