Wow! I didn't think I would get to this point. I'm on CD 1 of our DIY ICI at home. I'm down over 30 lbs. from the last time we ttc (almost 4 years ago) which is 13% of my weight gone. I've been getting 1 x a week acupuncture from a terrific practitioner for the past 6 weeks. I work out 6 days a week. I've been on prenatal vitamins for 3+ months. I'm eating a mostly South Beach diet and absolutely no refined carbs or refined sugar plus very little gluten. I think everything is very nicely aligning for this cycle. Monday I will call my midwife and get the progesterone subscription called in to my local pharmacy as well as find out how long to take it and when. I'm also calling the sperm bank on Monday to secure our donor sperm.
I keep trying to take deep breaths and do positive visualization. I'm so excited, but at the same time I know I shouldn't get too excited as the chances of this working are around 6%... but I really hope this is it. The other day a very calm peace enveloped me as I was driving and thinking about the whole process. I keep praying that the spirit waiting to be born will come to us this time. I think she's a girl.
