Hopeful...so hopeful!

The nightly injections are going well and everyday I am more anxious to get to the next step of my IUI procedure this month. I continue the shots until tomorrow night. Looking forward to Monday when I have a blood test and an ultrasound to see how well the fertility injections did for my eggs. I am thinking happy good thoughts! Hsien will be there so I am glad about that. This will be his first visit to the infertility doctor with me. He has been nervous and scared for me. He says I am brave. I often times thinks he feels helpless because there really isn't anything he can really do. We talked and because I am realistic about our chances, we decided that if this IUI cycle fails this month, we will try again right away. It will be another $1000 but it might do the trick! I have read stories that sometimes it takes 2-3 trys to get pregnant. I hope and pray that first is a charm! ;) I have hope though. Yesterday I was just so gitty and happy...just this huge wave of positive energy and thoughts came through and it's been that way for a few days. I haven't felt too negative or hopeless about all of this. I guess better to be positive...no reason to feel down about something that hasn't even happened yet.

I have had a lot of support from my boss and also a few friends. It's amazing who pops up in your life and wants to know everything going on. So surprised by the ones who are currently pregnant or going through a divorce or some other life changing event. They have so much on their plate yet they always take a moment every day to say they are thinking of me. I really value those friends...I truly do. Last night a good friend of me gave me the most beautiful inspirational card. I was in tears when I read it. It was so amazing to have love and support like this. I truly am lucky!

Hsien and I recorded a video of me preparing and doing our injection on the second night. It's about 8 minutes long and some parts are boring but the beginning and the end are kind of funny. I make light of the situation and have to laugh and make fun of myself or else I will go crazy!
