| I heard that when you're pregnant you become very tired during the first trimester, but I had no idea what to really expect. I've had very exciting news to share since Monday, but the thought of lifting a finger when I get home from work is just too much to bare right now. My routine lately is get home from work, get my pajamas on, eat something, go to bed.

| The joy in my heart knows no bounds. I am probably the happiest I have ever been in my entire life. My husband and I completely believe in the power of positive visualization.

| One thing I didn't mention in my post earlier this week is that this past Saturday I started spotting. As soon as I saw the bright red spots, my heart sank and I knew that this cycle had not been successful. My husband was out of town and I was inconsolable. I was trying to find the positive in the situation by telling myself that this cycle wasn't a waste. I had learned so much that could be useful in the next cycle.

| Today marks the end of my two week wait and this has felt like the longest two weeks ever. Today I go in for this cycle's final blood test and will find out if the IUI worked or not. I don't know if you have ever felt so nervous or anxious that you're frozen? Well, that's how I feel right now.

| The past three years have been difficult to say the least, but they were definitely not in vain. Even though it’s taken my about three years to let go of the anger and depression that was associated with my infertility, I also learned a lot during that time as well. Here are five things infertility has taught me:

| Today is a rough day for me. I’ve survived my first week of the two week wait and have been battling to keep my head held high and to stay positive. But, today it was all just too much. For some reason, when I woke up this morning, that evil little voice was inside my head, shouting “IT’S NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN.”

| We lived through our first IUI. Keep in mind nothing I do is ever easy or without interesting stories.

| Today my husband and I are going in for our first IUI procedure. We have completed several weeks of vitamin taking, organic produce eating, caffeine eliminating, and hormone injecting in preparation for this one day.

I feel like an action movie superhero that has been charged with the task of disarming the bomb before it destroys a metropolis with only 10 seconds left on the timer. Except it’s not a bomb, but my fertility medication, and it’s not a metropolis but rather my first IUI cycle.

| I’m giddy as a school girl. I’m so excited that there isn’t really much that could bring me down. We recently finished up our Clomid treatments and other testing, all of which felt more like a formality rather than treatment. Now we have moved on and are preparing for our first IUI. After three years of trying to conceive, my husband and I finally feel like we’re making progress.

My husband and I were married in September 2007 and immediately began trying to expand our family. But after a surgery to remove a persistent ovarian cyst we quickly realized that conceiving would be more difficult than first thought. Now we have a team of doctors, an acupuncturist, a church prayer team, family, and friends supporting us. With all these people involved, it seems to “take a village” to conceive a child.
