If it happens this cycle...

at 7:24 PM

I'd be due March 30 (1 day after hubs' birthday), which is in the middle of our spring break. I'd only have to go back to work for the last two weeks of the school year (if they made me go back for those two weeks).

If it happens next cycle, I'll be due April 29, and I won't have to go back to work at all.

If it happens the 4 cycles after that, it will either be during the summer next year or at the beginning of the school year, and I would have extended time off.

"Most pregnancies resulting from insemination with the male partner's sperm occur in the first 3 attempts. The chances for success per month drop off after about 3 attempts and drop considerably more after about 4-5 unsuccessful attempts. Therefore, IUI treatment is usually recommended for a maximum of about 3 or 4 tries." (advancedfertility.com)

So, if IUI is going to work, the best chance of it working with be within my vacation times above!! :)

Hey girl!! Good luck!! I know this may sound weird, but it may be something to try!!?? A friend of mine was trying to get pregnant and she did a trick...she was an ole co-worker of mine. She used a turkey baster and inserted and ended up getting pregnant. I asked my doctor about this afterwards, cause I didn't believe it could happen and guess what!?!?!! The doctor said alot of people do that cause insemination is so expensive. I know sounds gross and weird, but may want to give a shot?

Hey Jess,

I have heard of that before, but it's actually really dangerous to do it. In insemination, sperm has to go through a process called "washing" where the actual sperm cells are separated from the rest of the "debris" in the ejaculate. Your body naturally separates out the "debris" before it makes its way into your uterus. To have unwashed sperm shot into your uterus can cause intense infections and pain. So, no, I won't be doing it, but other people might choose to do it.

Thanks for the tip, though, and glad to hear that it's worked for some people.
