Let me give a status to all the caring folks out there that take time from their busy lives to read a little about mine.
I am on Cycle Day (CD) 7. This cycle I will NOT be doing AI..this cycle is a DRY RUN Only. What is a Dry Run? A Dry Run is where you chart strictly, use OPK's to detect your LH Surge and proceed as if this was the MAIN EVENT...without actually using Donor Sperm. That will be me shortly. NEXT Cycle, I will be Using Frozen Donor Sperm from an Establish Donor Bank in an attempt to get that Elusive BIG FAT POSITIVE (or BFP). WHAT is a Big Fat Positive....it is a positive Pregnancy Test. I tried to explain a few of the terms above to help any of my readers that don't have a CLUE about Artificial Insemination or Donor Sperm. My plan at this point is to use this above mentioned Bank for a Max of 4 -5 Cycles before I move to another bank & allow my Specialist to take over. I believe in taking everything one day at a time and crossing bridges as I come to them....so no extra stress in advance thinking about what if this doesn't work or that doesn't work. I will go forward & meet any or all challenges at that time.
- Went to my Attorney and Drafted my Will (Then I will just need to adjust slightly once the baby comes..positive thinking:)
- Took out an additional 175K in Life Insurance which will then bring my coverage to over 550K......simply because I want to protect any child or children I have as much as I responsibly am able.
- I finished my painting projects and large wall portrait hangings....ugh..the work SUCKS big time!!
- I have begun to organize the "baby's room." Just grouping items & attempting to get bins and label things. This will take awhile.
- I made a memory box from my heart.....in it I placed mementos that mean something to me & my life....one day I will give this to my child. I want to let them know more about what I was like the Month prior to starting this journey.
Well, so far that is it. I have had so much Teacher Related stuff to do this week I have been going like an Energizer Bunny. I am pooped! FCAT (Florida Standards of Learning Assessments) Have been kicking every certified Teachers but in the State right now.....GROWL. I just can stand any Test that has students in tears, nervous wrecks, throwing up in restrooms etc about passing it. Simply put in Florida....as a High School Student if you Do NOT pass your FCAT's you DO NOT Graduate....YES, even if you were a straight A student......if you can't pass the Standardized test then you do not Graduate or walk with your Class in a Traditional Setting. GROWL.....I guess you can read between the lines about how I feel about this State's Educational Priorities.
Ok, Ok....enough of my Craziness. I am off to get ready some relaxation before bed. A New L Word comes on tonight...Last Weeks..was rather insane & hell it cracked me up. To be honest though, it doesn't take much to make me laugh!
HUGS to everyone!
