We went to the store and bought more ovulation kits, I would take my temp ever morning before I woke up to see if it was a little higher then normal and if it was I would start the ovulation kits. Once the ovulation kit said "yes" I called the Fertility Clinic and the next day we were on our way to SLC.
This was the first time we did insemination's. I thought well this is a strange, non personal way to get pregnant, but it has to work!! We went into the office, filled out the paper work, and payed our money. Why on earth does insurances pay for the recovery of a druggie or an alcoholic, something that people cause on there own, but it wont pay for infertility, something that we have no control over??? Do they not think it is a medical condition?? Okay anyways, We payed them our money, and Kendall went into his "fancy MAN room", and I went and had my blood drawn. When we were both all done Kendall handed over his, "special formula". They then start working on the sperm and blood together. They go through and get the best sperm and mix it with some of the blood so the semen is already used to me before it gets in me. This takes about and hour for them to do so we decided to go for a little drive.
The Fertility Clinic is really close to the Hogle Zoo so we drove up there and it was free day, so we went inside and looked around until it was time to go back to the clinic. We held hands and talked as we were walking around. Dreaming about what we were going to name our child, because today was the day we were going to get pregnant. It had to be the day, we had already waited so long. This is all we needed was a little help.
An hour passed and we headed back to the clinic. When we got there we were taken into a room were I put on a hospital gown and I lay down on a bed. The doctor came in with a strange looking syringe. He lifted the bed up high and put my legs up. He told me it would take just a minute. After it was all done, he told me not to move for 15 minutes. I layed there excited thinking that it was a strange way to get pregnant, but I was excited and full of joy. After 15 minutes, Kendall wouldn't let me bend over or anything so he helped me get dressed, and with big smiles on our faces we headed home, knowing that this had to work.
Once again it was time for my period. I waited and waited, I was 2 days late, then I started. I cried and cried and when Kendall got I had to give him the news that I started my period. I was NOT pregnant.

I found your blog through a friends blog. I tried for 6 years to get pregnant with my ex husband. We had been to tons of docs and we were both "fine". I remeber the heartbreak everytime we got a negitive test and I started my period. Well 2 years ago my husband and I got a divorce.(ignore that it has nothing to do with fertility) Any how I met my current husband and we decided to try getting pregant. I was so scard I would go through 6 years of nothing happening again. But my husband had a thought we wouldn't "try" to get pregnant. We would go on vactions, spend time with family, enjoy time with each other and if it happend it happend. Well I agreed even though at first it was really hard not to think about. I wanted a baby so badly. Any how in November I got really sick and my husband just knew I needed to take a test. I didn't believe him when he told me it was positive. We are now expecting a little girl any day. I know how it feels to have those let downs, but from the way it sounds your husband and you have a great relationship and I promise in one way or another you will be a mom. I respect you for putting your story out there and I really think that is so strong of you. Good luck
