Things are getting better as each day passes. Jill has been wonderful and has made me smile everyday. Today she took me to get my nails done and my toenails painted-- isn't she a sweetheart?!? I just love being her wife and spending my life with her!
As far as the baby front-- we have decided to try again in August for sure. Of course I would have loved to try this cycle, but we are going with a new Sperm Bank and I haven't completed my paperwork yet. We will be trying at home again, which went really well last time. Obviously we didn't get pregnant but we felt it went just as good as any of the other doctor assisted IUI's. So now we are waiting for AF to show again and we will be on the TTC rollercoaster soon- YEAH!! Now I have something definite to look forward to again:) I called up the new bank (Midwest Sperm Bank) and talked to the doctor. I told her our history and that this would be our 9th try. I then went on to say that we just want to get pregnant dang it so we need some SUPER SPERM!! She gave me a list of the top five most fertile guys and we found one donor that we really fell in love with! He sounds like a super guy and a good "fit" for us. He is also listed on the Donor Sibling Registry and has had A LOT of success making healthy boys and girls!
I also want to thank everyone for their wonderful support and encouragement through our 8th BFN. You gals are so wonderful and I love each and every one of ya!!
Please say a little prayer for my friend Laurie she just had her IUI and I'm hoping this is her lucky month!!!
So that is the update on our side of the world-- have a super weekend:)

Thanks for the details on your painting! We will have to try that when I am nesting or something :) Of course me, I won't be smelling the fumes... but I can supervise Kris :)
Congrats on your upcoming August cycle.. we can be preggo buds!
I was at Dale Hollow Lake... can't remember if I told you that or not.. have you heard of it?
My hopes and prayers, Ladies! The TTC journey can be a tough one. It took us 1 IUI with our 1st (also did an ICI the day before to increase the chances. It's protocol with our clinic), but it took over a year with the twins. We had to go to IVF after 7 failed IUI's.
Just a note - we used the same donor for all the kids, but the second time around, his counts were VERY low. We wouldn't have known that if we did it at home, regardless of the guarantee from the sperm bank. So we got a refund on 4 of the vials.
I really hope it happens for you next month!
*****BABY DUST*****
That's great news. I'm glad you found one that fits. Sometimes that can be the factor that needs to change in order for you to get pregnant.
Lots of baby dust !
Good luck! You guys have remained so positive! Your time is coming!
Good luck with the new bank!!! We used Xy.tex and LOVED IT. Not sure if the bank that you're trying or not. Plus, at least with our donor, many, many, people have had excellent results!
Also, there is a GREAT books called Take Charge of Your Fertility. It really helped us, even though we ended up doing IVF.
