One in a Million Uterus

A mother of two adopted boys, I have a unicornuate uterus and I am on a journey to see if it can carry a child.

Name:

I was diagnosed with a unicornuate uterus in January 2006. DH and I decided to follow our hearts to the adoption of our two sons. Now our hearts are guiding us towards fertility treatments.

Cycle 4, 2 dpIUI

Two down, and 12 more to go until this 2ww is over! My strategy is to say as busy as possible in order to make this time fly. Succeeded today and actually forgot several times that we were hoping to have a baby. I am sure as the clock ticks down, no amount of keeping busy will keep me from over analyzing my body.

During my research yesterday to figure out what I was supposed to be doing with a pineapple core, I read that pomegranate juice is supposed to help things too. I've had it before and I actually like the extreme flavor. So, picked some up while I was at the store today. For lunch I had a super fertility drink. I threw my 1/5 of the pineapple (including core) into the food processor with some pomegranate juice and whipped myself up a yummy drink.

Went to a farmer's market today with my kids and my mom. There was a wine booth there. It was calling me. I took a look at the bottles and was trying to figure out which one I should purchase, crack open this weekend, and consume in its entirety. Crap. Really trying to avoid drinking in excess right now. I told my mom that we have a bunch of wine at home so I would pass it up this week. In two weeks though, if AF rears her ugly head, that is the first booth I am hitting up at the farmer's market.

I noticed tonight that my nipples are a bit sore. My nipples rarely ever get sore. Good sign? Maybe but this is only 2 dpIUI so it isn't like my body really has any idea what is going on in there. Most likely a result of the meds. Speaking of, I have read before that people who used the progesterone suppositories were zapped of energy. Never experienced that before but damn am I tired today for no apparent reason. Also a little constipated. I usually get that way a couple days before AF shows up, but never this early. Once again, not that that could possibly mean anything at this point.
