Had to order extra early this month to avoid delays, and I figure the dewer will be here through Christmas.. so I tried to "brighten" it up a bit! Dear god... let this be the month!!

    I used two ICI vials at 12 and 24 past smiley. We use a speculum and a syringe with a "fill needle" to place the sperm directly onto the cervix. I keep my hips up about 30 minutes. After the first one I put in a soft cup and went to work. After the second no soft cup, just went to bed for the night.

    I've got positive pregnancy tests 3 out the 4 months we've tried so we must be doing something right lol. Praying, praying, praying for our rainbow baby.

    Darker than initial test, and just the smallest bit darker each day. I won't be satisfied until I get a bright bold line. I have a feeling I won't relax this entire pregnancy.

    But I've been dying to know how things are progressing with you tinydancer!!

    I honestly spend 80% of the day worrying about the test lines fading away, and things I may do that would influence a chemical. It's a terrible state of mind, and really really hard to snap out of. Every time I see a pink line it's a sigh of relief but im dying for dark lines, and we're just not there yet. I made my first dr apt today with my primary physician for a referral. I'm taking it all one step at a time. <3

    Im here!! feeling pretty awful/sick since yesterday. I had my scan in the morning and it wasnt great. Im 6 weeks today but the sac only measured 5 weeks 2 days and I didnt see a yolk or baby. so Im on the wait to see what happens till next week. I got really sick right before my last loss so I cant count this as a great thing. I have not felt too sure of this pregnancy working out because my thyroid is off and Im not getting much info or answers despite seeing 3 different drs now. really not pleased but hanging in there
