Month #2

Posted by Lou_Pt2, 03/07/2012, 01:26 PM

Well, the last month's efforts ended in a chemical pregnancy, making my period come a bit late, which actually worked out very well for this month! Don't get me wrong, we were all disappointed and upset that it didn't work the first time, because after the positive hpts (albiet faint!) and unmistakable pregnancy symptoms, we were sure that it was it.

Interestingly, the donor and his family decided to travel interstate for the first week of July for a holiday! And low and behold, my first positive opk was on the day he arrived! So, we drove down to the coast and inseminated in the car. This is the entry I wrote yesterday on a message board:

Then, the positive opk the next day turned negative at night, along with some prominent ovulation cramping and a bit of nausea. So... we decided that Tuesday morning might be good timing. Here is my post from the message board from 1/2 hour ago!



So, to summarise, we inseminated O-2 (CD12) and on O (CD14). I had fertile cm for a good few days, but today it wasn't very fertile, but we used Preseed to counteract that problem. I elevated the hips both times, and had the Big O afterwards. I was also really relaxed, especially the second time, and happy. One thing is for sure, I won't be doing IUI again... that cramping last month was really uncomfortable, and the 'procedure' was really clinical and embarrassing, even just in front of Cris.

To add to all of this, I'm not sure if I have written down about last month's rainbow motif. On CD11, 12, and 13, we had four different prominent rainbows or rainbow references that were a little "coincidental". In the sky, a line in a mag about being a spiritual answer from our angels, a bright one on the wall at our friend's, and then a random message from my very good friend about how she saw a rainbow that day and thought of us, and knows that it's a good omen for her to see them, and in her life when rainbows appear, everything turns out well. So, the baby tried last month, but my body failed her (probably thanks to all the c-sections and thus scarring I have). THIS MONTH, freakily enough, on CD11 we see a rainbow appear on a white wall at the train station with no glass or rain or anything around. THEN, CD12, the weirdest thing happened. When we were in the car sitting in the driveway about to head down the coast for the insem at about 7pm, in pitch black, we turn on the satnav and the grey screen turned on, in preparation for the TomTom logo and then the menu. On the grey screen, Cris saw a distinct curved rainbow with colour and defined edges, taking up the top right 1/4 of the screen! Very weird! We have owned that satnav for a few years and never has that happened. There were no crystals, rain, glass, or light around. THEN, on CD13 (last night) I drove to the servo to fill up petrol and whilst filling up, I said, "baby, will everything work out okay? Please give me a sign". Walked into shop, paid for petrol, drove out of servo, stopped at traffic light. The silver car in front of me had a beautiful stripe of rainbow shining on it's right bumper underneathe it's light. What the?! It was nighttime and I haven't seen that before. I thought it may be a refraction from my plastic car light at the front and light from the traffic light above. Not sure how, but I do know that I haven't seen that before, it was nighttime, and the timing was PERFECT. What do you make of that??! Divine intervention? Cris, me and the kids, do believe that it was a message from our baby that she is coming and that everything will be okay. We have been given other messages from her too, but I will go into detail later on about those. Save them for another day!
