3 days in...

This two week wait thing sucks.  We had our IUI on Thursday and I'm feeling very positive about these results.  Have had some spotting as a result, which my doctor said could be expected.  For anyone who hasn't had IUI before and is curious, it is mildly painful, but honestly, at the moment, you don't care so much since you have all the hope in the world that it will be worth it. 

I've promised myself that I'm not going to allow myself to test until Valentine's Day.  That would be 11 DPO so hopefully, I'll get a positive and it will add to our celebrating.  I realize it could still be too early to test at that point, but I know I won't be able to resist.  I asked the Hubs to hide all of the pregnancy tests, but with most things, I need to remind him (poor guy has serious short-term memory loss) and I purposely didn't since I want to learn how to get some self control.  How pathetic am I?

On a side note, the heartburn has returned and I'm officially a blimp.  I knew I had gained some weight with the Femara (weird, but I don't think I do on the Clomid), but it just feels out of control.  I have to get a handle on this...my appetite has decreased again, but I just can't seem to get any energy to work out.  If I can do 30 minutes on the ellipitcal once a week, I'm ready to celebrate and make a banner to proclaim my success.  Sad, I know.

So, as I move on through the remaining 11 days (or one week, depending on which time I test), I must find ways to keep myself busy and my mind off of peeing on sticks. Maybe I should funnel all of this energy into working out?!?!  That would be a good idea...now just to put it into action.
