IUI

Well, that is the game plan. What's an IUI  (Intra-Uterine Insemination) you ask? Click this linky HERE if you wanna know all the medical details. What it is not: it is not where they place your eggs and sperm in a "petri dish" and make a baby. That is IVF - In-Vitro Fertilization. And NO, my chances of multiples aren't increased because of this technique. The Clomid (to induce ovulation) does not increase my chances, either! A lot of people have that misconception that because we are taking fertility meds and are doing the IUI we will have twins, triplets or quads or even become like octo-mom! However, that isn't the case! If God decides to bless us with multiples, it is because it was HIS plan! *I secretly want twins!* Science has advanced so much that even with IVF, they are only implanting 1-2 embryo's in the uterus now, rather than the 3 or 4 like before. It's amazing how much things are changing! I love to read about the new advancements medicine is making regarding infertility!

This whole process of IUI really reminds me of when I was in high school and was involved in FFA. I remember having to help and watched numerous artificial inseminations on sows (girl pigs in lamens terms) and it was kinda icky and kinda cool, too!

Anyways, we are super excited to have a game plan! I know that God will give me the desires of my heart, because His word says so.

Also, y'all keep me in your prayers: I am going to see a specialist about being diagnosed with ADD/ADHD. I have always struggled with school, work, housework, any task that takes focusing and really am bad at procrastinating to the point where I have almost lost my job. This is very hard for me to talk about because it isn't something I'm very proud of, but I'm so ready for help! I was telling my co-teacher this morning when I try to think, my brain feels like a super-highway full of roads and bridges and intersections with cars zooming all over the place...I just want a slow-paced country road! If that makes sense!
