S got a positive OPKS yesterday afternoon, so this morning will be IUIS #1 for this cycle. I feel like we are going into this round a little bit less stressed and with less hippie preparations- no moxa, no acupuncture, no fertility rocks, just us. Which I don't think will be bad thing, but it wasn't a conscious thing, I totally didn't even think about it the moxa till yesterday. Also S isn't going to be taking the DHA anymore. We figured out in the last two weeks that it is what was making her so sick. Hopefully that means that she won't be as sick this pregnancy as last, as she was taking that stupid stuff the whole time with Jude! So send us happy, sticky baby vibes these next two days please!
On a related note, yesterday at the gym I was talking to my mother in law, who lives here, about the IUIs because she likes to know what's going on and because she is going to watch Jude for me during them. Anyway, after we discuss the details she tells me that if at all possible S and I should "make love" after each one as having an orgasm helps you to get pregnant and helps you to relax. Ew, so much ew. When I got home I told S about her moms comments to which she replied that makes me never want to have sex again. Totally. Oh mother in laws. Haha.

Good luck! And I would die if my mother-in-law said that to me. LOL.
ReplyDeleteOh my. Next time you can tell her that a "friend" told you that with IUIs, because the sperm is already placed behind (above?) the cervix, it really doesn't make a difference whether you have sex or not.
