Acceptance.....I'm ready

Well I did the accupunture last Monday. It wasn't that bad. She was very nice and helpful, and the actual procedure wasn't painful. So guess what??
On Sat I OVULATED!! Now I understand that it could all be coincidence....but its enough to get me to go back. Today actually.
I have reached a point of acceptance. I have accepted that I have an infertility problem. I have accepted the fact that I need help getting pregnant. I have even accepted the fact that if I dont get pregnant this month then I do IUI next month. I have not accepted the fact however, of NOT ever having a family. That one may take some more time.
The reason I say that I feel this way is this: My husband and I did everything we possibly could to get pregnant this month. I couldn't accept going into IUI feeling like we haven't done everything in our power this month, first. We bd'd ALOT, I used pre-seed, I stuck to the accupuncturist's diet (for the most part), took my vitamins, the works. If it didn't happen, then bring on the IUI, I am ready!
This O seemed different. I was so crampy I thought I was getting my period (af). Maybe it was a sign.....
Now my confession: I went to the maturnity store and bought $100 worth of shirts for myself. I told them it was for my friend. But they gave me another $50 in gift cards, and I plan on using that too. I know deep down I will get to use this stuff some day. For now it can all sit in my closet, waiting. (along with other things I have bought in the past) I went to buy it after my first accupunture session, maybe it is a sign....I wasn't planning on going there, and I certainly wasn't planning on spending money.
Well I hope this 2 week wait goes fast, but I am ready to accept whatever get thrown my way next......If no pg, then bring on the IUI baby I'm ready!!
