Sea Monkey Stats - 4 Weeks
How far along? 4 weeks
Symptoms? Queasiness, sleeplessness, cramps, sore bbs
Maternity clothes? Just a few that I've picked up on clearance over the year. Trying to enjoy my cute non-preggo clothes while I can.
Nursery Purchases?No.
Stretch marks? No.
Sleep? Insomnia. Every day I seem to wake up at 3am and it's a coin toss if I can go back to sleep or not. The day after I got my BFP, I went grocery shopping at 5am because I couldn't get back to sleep and I was restless. Other than the insomnia induced sleepiness, energy seems to be fine.
Best moment this week? Seeing that surprise BFP!! Next would be seeing DH's reaction.
Movement? None.
Food cravings? None, but my appetite has really been decreased. Lately I seem to be eating a lot of dairy. I had mac and cheese 3 days in a row! Only thing that sounded good, but I wasn't really craving it either
What I miss? Being able to eat
What I'm looking forward to? My second beta results
Milestones? Removing predicted O and AF dates from my calendar
Emotions? Emotions haven't been too bad. It still feels a bit unreal to both of us and I still feel like I am just waiting for AF to show. I'm starting to get scared that I will miscarry for no other reason than that is the worst that could happen. I think once get another beta and when I am officially AF free, then I hope I'll feel more comfortable.
As the weekend is going on, I'm losing some of the symptoms, mostly my queasiness has been lessened but I'm not sure if that is because I'm more diligent about taking my morning B vitamin (for energy but has B6 which is good for nausea)
DH's Feelings? He is excited but not really sunk in yet. He's anxious to start telling people but agrees to wait until I am ready. I agreed when he said we should hold off on blogging about this until we've told family. So, while I am writing this at 4 weeks, you'll probably be reading this after we reach 8 weeks.

Dreams Really Do Come True
What great timing I must have for my inspirational wordless Wednesday, because dreams really do come true, and they did for me.
This is the story of the struggles of two twenty somethings trying to get pregnant, and succeeding. It's just a warning for those currently struggling with infertility. I know pregnancy announcements are hard to take especially if you're not prepared for them.
My husband and I have been married for 6 years now, in fact we just celebrated our anniversary last weekend. This time last year we agreed that it was a good time to try and start a family. We were heading to Paris and were hoping to to bring back our own little souvenir. All the pieces fit together, in fact I had already started tracking my cycles in my calendar so I knew there was a great chance it would be our month.
Like every couple new to the TTC world, we were naive and thought we'd end up in the family way quite easily and quickly. Of course that would not come to be and I never even ovulated while on our trip, I ended up ovulating 2 days after we came back (and were sick).
Month after month we saw signs that this would be it. I eventually came to the conclusion that no amount of signs, babydust, FX, or luck was going to result in a baby. We just had to wait our turn.
In January I convinced DH to go see a Urologist to get a sperm analysis done. Results weren't bad, but they weren't stellar. We determined that some lifestyle changes and recovery from the flu should help and would repeat the SA 2 more times. Numbers got better, but motility was still low.
I agreed that it was my turn to see an RE, and I did in May. The day after Mother's Day in fact. Seriously, what was I thinking? I spoke to one of the nurses on the phone who was super sweet and willing to answer all my questions when I made the appointment. I met with Dr.Puzzle and really felt confident with the clinic. It does have the highest IVF success rate in the state.
The meeting was inconclusive though. He confirmed that I had ovulated, and that my charts were excellent and that he had no real answer. He suggested that the SAs low results were likely to be the problem and that we should move on to a non-medicated IUI. I was to call on CD1 with my news if AF appeared. I called 11 days later with news of my BFP!
This of course, I treasure as well. Fortune I received exactly 1 week before the BFP
