I got the positive OPK today so I go in tomorrow for my 3rd IUI. Will the medical penis make it happen? Only time will tell but like I said before, I just don’t see how the hell this is going to work the 3rd time when it didn’t work the first two times. It’s also sad that I just talked about the act of trying to get pregnant and did not mention my husband once. He has been downgraded to sperm donor and replaced by the medical penis. Such is the un-romantic side of infertility. He’s still my life partner though and I love him more than the medical penis! I will also go in for acupuncture tomorrow morning before the IUI. Hopefully that’ll help the uterus be in tip top shape for what’s about to happen.
On another positive non-OPK note, I got a formal job offer today. I think I’m going to take it but need to do some negotiation. I hate negotiating. It just feels so greedy. These people are offering me a salary, benefits (good ones so I can continue on with my treatments) and most importantly, some sort of stability (in this employment market) and I am about to ask them for more. It doesn’t seem right. But then again I was told that every recruiter expects some negotiation and you can’t get something that you don’t ask for…right?
I’ve been unemployed now for almost 2 months and so many people said to me, “maybe you’ll get pregnant because you’re unemployed! some people relax when they are not working and get pregnant!” I’m here to tell everyone that 1) going on vacation does not make you pregnant (didn’t happen on my recent trip to mexico nor my recent trip to hawaii) 2) not working also does not make you pregnant. Dismiss those silly myths! It’s all a lie! However, laparoscopies apparently do get you pregnant. That’s the lesson I learned this June 2009.
hehe, laparoscopies get you pregnant… we’ll see next wednesday if it’s a good pregnancy (uterus) or a bad one (fallopian tube).
Is this IUI # 4? I am jealous.
Just wanted to wish you good luck with the IUI and the 2ww!
