Well this week we finally heard back from the Doctor about the last round of testing we had done. The Doctor is still not happy with results so he wants to start the IUI. Aaron and I decided if that was his suggestion that we would start it as soon as we could. When the nurse called I had just started my cycle which made it really easy. They gave me a prescription of Clomid to take days 3-7 and we would start the procedure the day I start ovulating and then again the next day. She gave me a little overview of what would happened and said to call as soon as I got a positive ovulation kit. I have so many feeling right now, I think that is why I have waited to really post anything. I know this is the direction that we need to go in, but I feel sad at the same time. I wanted to get pregnant on my own without all the heartache that we have been going through. I also feel judgement from others, I don't think they mean it but it makes me question if I am doing the right thing. I know in my heart that we are to have another baby and when we pray I knew that this would be the way we would have to do it right now. I know that science was given to us to help us. I just reread the book Angels and Demon's. A great one for those of you who have not read it and it will be a movie here in another couple of months. But in it, it talks about the science/religion debate. I know that I have a Heanly father who loves me and because of the day and age that I live in that he has given us science and medications to help us. They are gift from him and I am grateful to know that through him I will be able to have a "different" way of bring a child into this world. I know most of what I am feeling has to do with fear of not know what to expect. So with all that said... I started the medication on Thursday and will go though this with faith knowing that this is the answer that I got! Wish us luck, I think we are really going to need it!

I think what your doing is wonderful. You are following Heavenly Fathers commandments and you will be blessed. If you need to get pregnent the (non-traditional) way then thats ok too. Who cares what other people think. Just have fun makin that baby!!!!!!!!!! Good luck!!!
You are the only one who can make that decision for you. You need to remember that what you decide is between you, aaron and your heavenly father and noone else. I think that you are going about everything the right way and will hopefully have positive results soon. Love ya- Amber
You're doing the right thing. Sometimes no matter how you explain it, there are some that never understand. I believe Science is there for a reason. It is my only hope of biological children and I know it's there for me as well for you.
We have been praying for you guys here!!! There are SO many things we have to be thankful for in science in medicine, not just for this type of thing, that you can hardly judge this without also judging everything else down to OTC medications and anti-biotics. I mean it's not like you have no husband, got some sperm donor and are gonna have octuplets....(I'm really not trying to make light of the situation, just to point out how ridiculous it would be to judge someone as wonderful as you!!!). I know I'm usually busy, but if there's any way I can help or if it works out that I could watch Emma for a few hours or something, please let me know and we'll work something out. I know that 'relaxing' doesn't cause conception, but a lack of stress in any way definitely can't hurt the process whatever it may be! Do you know if the procedure will cause any pain or fatigue, I'm sure I could bring over a meal or something the day you have it done if you need help that way too. Cory and I are going to find a day when we can invite you, Aaron, and Emma over for dinner in the near future too.
