Try #2 Postponed

We won't be having a TWW this month. Our donor can't make it to visit this weekend and we're pretty sure R ovulated today (4 days early). Donor will definitely be able to visit in October so that will be the last try for 2006. Class & work schedules for three people make it really difficult to find the time especially when you throw a cycle into the mix!
Never fear, this weekend won't go to waste. We're attending a doggy adoption fair hoping to meet a new friend for Hamlet. We started the adoption process a few weeks ago and are awaiting a home visit. We won't be getting pregnant but we will be getting a new furry child this month!

So no one gets jealous...the rest of the family

Try #2

On to try #2. Hopefully things will work this time. Our donor still hasn't gotten back to us to let us know if he can come visit this weekend. If he can't visit then we'll be driving to see him. It would be A LOT easier on us if he could come to PA. R & I both work Friday night and Sunday afternoon. If we have to drive to meet him it will mean leaving around 1am, getting there around 7am Saturday & insemming as soon as we got there. After a nap we'd insem again and then drive home. In one day we'd be on the road for 12 hours. If he comes to visit we can insem 3-4 times throughout the weekend & flood the gates so to speak.
This will probably be our last try this year. We're worried that our schedules will get too crazy near the end of the semester for us to meet up with our donor. Also, R has decided that she doesn't want to be due in July or August. If we don't get pregnant this time we'll start trying again in January. We're hoping that things go well this time and we don't have to try again until we're ready for kid #2.
