So for those of you keeping count (haha) this is our 41st cycle of trying to conceive. 40 failed cycles and still holding lots of hope in our hearts that this 41st cycle could bring our miracle.
IUI numero cinco went smoothly on Saturday. Steve's count was wonderful as usual. We didn't do back to back this month. IUI's a pretty uncomfortable and I didn't want Steve to miss that much work. So my mom went with me Saturday for the procedure. She's really good at holding my hand. Afterwards we went to lunch and then she bought me a pair of new shoes for work.
***gross things ahead..stop now if you are faint of heart***
Each month I find things to be hopeful about during the cycle. However this month I had my 2nd cycle ever that I had egg white cervical mucous. EVER! This is a terrific sign of ovulation.

So back in the 2 week wait (more like 3 since I can't call my RE until the 29th!) and praying and hoping and doing everything possible to convince my body to make a baby!

Grow baby grow!! So exciting!! I will be keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you! And yay for egg white CM - such a good sign that your body is doing what it should do! Hang in there these couple of weeks!
You'll be getting the big news while I'm in town! Hopefully all goes well and I can take you our for a non alcoholic drink! I'll be thinking of you and crossing my fingers and toes! EWCM is a great sign. Good luck!
I pray for you every day, Sarah. I haven't counted how many cycles it's been for us but doing the math it is somewhere around 50. We started ttc in October ot 07. I really, truely hope this is your month.
We're all friends here, talk about your mucous as much as you want!
Best of luck.
