Hopeful again

We've got about another week to go until we can test.  Sheri and I have both been pretty up-beat about this attempt and trying to stay positive.  I feel like that's the best way to do it, to be pessimistic about it is to invite a negative outcome, unfortunately it makes it a LOT harder if things don't work out. We've been going a more paganistic route this time, using oils meant to enhance fertility and burning candles and such.  We've got our fingers crossed.

Attept 3 with our known donor

We had our third insem attempt with our known donor last..Friday, I believe.  Our previous two attempts have been a bit awkward, due to having to meet in public and then figure out where to go to inseminate since we live so far out and the sample has a shelf life, but this time our dear friends allowed us to meet him at their house and use their basement.  Though still a bit awkward knowing that everyone knew what was going on, I think this try was a lot more comfortable all around.  We're currently sitting in two week wait land, but we get to test shortly before my 30th birthday.  I can't think of a better gift than a positive test, but we'll see how it goes.  This process is so much easier on us, stress-wise, not having to buy sperm and do the process in a clinical setting, and I cannot sing enough praises about our donor.  He is a very kind, handsome, intelligent man and we will forever be grateful for him taking this journey with us.
