When I found out that I had conceived after going through just one cycle of IUI (Intra-Uterine Insemination), I was ecstatic. At the same time, I also had a slight degree of doubt if the sperms injected into my uterus were indeed hubby’s! I know it sounds really silly but I couldn’t believe how lucky hubby and I were because on the day of the IUI procedure, our fertility specialist told us that the quality of hubby’s little swimmers was really poor. Also, there was another couple who did the IUI on the same day as us. I couldn’t stop wondering if the nurse had accidentally switched sperms coz they were kept in a specimen container and what if she had wrongly labelled the 2 containers?
I can never forget the gloom on our doctor’s face when he walked into the procedures room and let out a sigh and told me that only 3% of hubby’s little swimmers were good. I gave up hope instantly. I felt as if it was a double whammy because I had many problems myself and coupled with hubby’s poor little swimmers, what’s our chance of me getting pregnant? Nevertheless, I prayed fervently before, during and after the procedure.
Long story cut short, Alycia is my miracle child. From the start to the end, she’s a miracle baby. Now, I have no more doubt that she’s not made from hubby’s little swimmers because almost everyone who sees Alycia will comment that she looks exactly like hubby.
I had gone through a very difficult time trying to conceive. I had tried using the ovulation calendar, looked at cervical mucus, took Clomid, went through an Ovarian Drilling surgery and much more. None of these worked and that was what prompted me to go ahead with IUI. I am really thankful to God for helping me conceive Alycia and subsequently Sherilyn and Baby C. My 3 gals are indeed my 3 miracles from God.
On a side note, I just found out today that there is a fabric softener specially formulated for babies, children and those with sensitive skin. Comfort Pure fabric conditioner is hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested. Just click on the link provided to find out more.
