my very first post!

Today is Monday, April 24th, 2006. My IFs were down today for insems!!! Woohoo!!! My monitor has not given me even a high reading yet let alone a peak. However, I do have very nice, fertile mucous as of yesterday and I read recently that it is good to insemminate 4 days before ovulation so that the sperm is in place and will be ready once the egg is released. So, that is what we did today! I am on day 13 today and I am hoping that I will ovulate in the next 4 days!

Both of my IFs are giving me samples so the bio Daddy will be a surprise! Neither of them care who the bio Daddy is as they will both be the baby's parents. I will be known as Mama to the child so that he or she will always know he or she has a mother. That was important both for my IFs and for myself.

I am so very excited for this to happen!!! I so badly want to pregnant for my IFs!!! They are such beautiful men and I know they will make very good fathers. Let this be the cycle i conceive for them!!!

Just an added note... We did conceive prior to this cycle. I made it to about 12 weeks gestation and miscarried. It was such a devastating blow to have gotten so far only to find out it had ended before it really began. I went to my 11 week ultrasound to check the nuchal cord measurement and it was determined that it was a "blighted ovum pregnancy". I had a gestational sac and a placenta but there was no baby. I felt so sad. My IFs felt so sad. I feel so joyful and honoured that my IFs want to try again. I hope I can redeem myself this time around and give them the baby they are dreaming of.
