3rd times the charm...my ass.

you could probably tell from the title,
we ended up with yet another bfn.
on a positive note, we are geared up to go at it again this month, with a few changes.
we've never actually gotten to do two months back to back before, so i'm excited.
we're also changing things up this time.
we have never given unmedicated, natural iui a chance before.
we were just told "if you want to get pregnant faster, do this."
so, we did....
and it hasn't worked, so wtf?
after deep thought and reflection on the fact that i do ovulate on my own
and my hsg was completely normal, we decided maybe we should give it a try.
so, here we go...
no meds and we're on our last vial with our 2nd choice donor.
it's going to work this time.
i don't know how many women have gone from medicated to undmedicated iui's before.
anyone have any success stories?

off the topic of ttc and back on to family...
since my last post, things have been very busy in our house.
during our tww, kim graduated with her master's finally!
we had a lot of good family time that weekend.
the next week, i was in austin for a work conference.
i had to reschedule my pregnancy bloodwork because i was in austin at a hotel on our 14th day,
so i just poas there.
that sucked.
of course it was going to be a negative when I couldn't be with k...
and then all i could think about was
how awkward it was putting a test in the tiny trashcan for the maid to see.
i stuck it down in a to go cup :)

it has to work this time.
i'm tired of it not working.
staying positive is really a pain in the ass.

here are a few pics from our last couple weeks:

i was feeling really self-conscious this day...not sure why. 

maybe it was just the hormones! 

kim's blue eyes shined and i was so proud of her. 

i actually got a pic of her on the jumbotron!

it was a really long road getting her here.

m was so cute in the preppy little outfit nana brought for him.

i was nervous about keeping a 3 year old entertained for a graduation ceremony, 

but he did great.

i brought snacks, a few toys and 

factored in some "go out in the hallway and run like a madman time."

this saturday, we decided to run by a new little park close-by.

it wasn't your average park with swings and such...
it was pretty much all climb...m is almost a four year old boy,
he loved it.

until next time,
brooke
