By the time Monday rolled around, she began to despair for two reasons: First, she was on the edge of running through a box of twenty digital test sticks. Second, the cryotank was supposed to be returned by Wednesday, and ovulation was nowhere in sight....
Of course I freaked out a bit. Posted this photo to my ttc group to get opinions, or at least have someone to freak out with me. Bless their hearts, they talked me down. Don't insem! Don't do it! Wait for that damn smiley face! *sigh* I really needed that. I stopped freaking out. I went online to buy some more digital OPK's, and discovered that the bigger (cheaper per stick) box of refill sticks for the Clearblue monitor fit and work with their digital OPK's as long as you still have the holder/tester. Thank the heavens for Amazon Prime and one day shipping because I rationed out the few sticks I had left to get through the workday on Tuesday and came home to claim the box of refills in my mailbox Tuesday night. And not a moment too soon! I tested at 7pm before leaving work and pulled up another negative, but then I tested again at 10pm at home and got that smiley face!!! Whew! Yay! My uterus isn't broken. After all this suspense though, Clomid better ovulate me the most perfect egg that the universe has ever seen. For serious. So, now it's on for insem #LuckyNumber13. A friend in my ttc group (the one that just gave birth to her third baby conceived via home insem with frozen sperm) suggested I do 22hrs and 32hrs post first OPK+. So the plan is to cancel my ASL lesson, rush home from work, start the thawing process and insem by 8pm-ish tonight (Wednesday).
That's happening RIGHT NOW! Insem at 8pm, then sleep and get up at 5am to thaw the second vial for insem at 6am. I'll have about 30 minutes to lay around with my hips up before I have to get ready for work. THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!
Stay tuned........

Hello there!
I'm a casting producer with the TV production company behind ‘Married At First Sight’ on A&E. We are casting a new documentary series about single adults who are exploring parenting options. I would love to tell you more about the documentary in detail and learn a little about our journey to becoming a parent. Do you have a second to hop on a call sometime today? My office line is (310) 883-7217. I hope to hear back either way, thanks!
Hi Jwilson. Thanks for the offer, but I don't think it's my cup of tea. I barely like people in real life. The idea of being followed around by a camera and having a bunch of people I don't even know privy to my personal business just doesn't appeal to me.
