Almost there

My first IUI is just a couple of days away now and it can't come soon enough.  I just want to get this first try over with.  Honestly I'm keeping my expectations low as I've had no medication and no monitoring...  When I read others blogs and forums it seems that everyone's had 3 day testing, ultra sounds... they know the length of their follicles and other such information overload.  

I know nothing other than that I'm going to ovulate in the next 48 hours or so and then I will go for my IUI's.  

It's not like I've been doing nothing to promote healthy chances of conception... in fact I've never been busier!  I went to an ayurveda lady and thus I am now taking aloe vera juice, drinking Ojas tea (made with organic, homemade ghee) every morning, giving myself pre-shower massages with food grade coconut oil & doing at least 5 mins of breathing exercises a day.

On top of this I am of course taking my pre-natal vitamins, drinking raspberry leaf tea and taking Royal Jelly once a day (It's disgusting FYI).

So yes... hippy route for the first attempt and then next month I'll try acupuncture and hit my health insurance with a little monitoring.  No meds for me til the 3rd try (which hopefully I won't need!)

I'm nervous and excited... Everyone I've told has been supremely supportive and excited for me... not one shred of judgement.  

Having said this I've not told many people... I don't think it's anyone's business but my own and I've no idea what I'm going to say when (if) I do become pregnant and start to show... I guess I'll cross this bridge when it happens...  I wish I knew other people going through this at the same time as me.

So I'm wishing myself luck and hoping for a miracle on the first go...
