Let's try this again

Have you been waiting to find out if it worked? Sorry about that. No, it didn't work. I'm not pregnant yet.

Part of the reason I haven't updated recently is we are again considering adoption. I want to be pregnant again, but more than that, I'd like to have another child. It's been a back and forth, day-to-day decision. My mind cannot be made up. There are equal pros and cons to both options.

So, today, we are planning on trying another IUI on my next cycle. More details to come soon.

My memory has been compromised

Something happened to me after my daughter was born.  I was well versed in all the pregnancy and motherhood phenomenon because I'd read approximately 3,176 books on the subject while trying to get pregnant. But then I had my daughter and forgot half of what I'd learned in my lifetime.  She made me stupid?

Curious about early symptoms from pregnancy 5 years ago, I looked at my old journal I kept while still smart, bb (before baby). My facts, what I thought were facts, were wrong.

Here is a list ofcorrections from previous posts.

    1. I did not have 5 follicles ready when my daughter was conceived. I only had 2. (uh oh?) I had five in a previous attempt.

Ok, so it was just that one thing. But it's a BIG thing. 2 follicles equaled one baby. what does 5 follicles equal? hahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...hmmmm.
