Well, we are starting to experience the "emotional rollercoaster" that other, more experienced folks trying AI have warned us about as even at 6:30 this morning, C and I were bickering. And we never fight. This has been hard.

The RE visit was good; the doctor and nurse were very reassuring; they said that the chemical pregnancy is really a good sign -- it shows that I can get pregnant and that my body is not incompatible with STAN. They tested to make sure I don't have any more HCG (the pregnancy hormone) in my body and since I don't, I can start taking clomid again starting tonight.

We are totally going to be doing the next round of IUIs on the weekend we are supposed to be in Mass. for a wedding. Which sucks, because we were so looking forward to a nice weekend away, staying at a B&B out in the country . . . instead, we'll probably do the IUI and then drive up for the wedding the same day. Hopefully the IUIs will at least fall on days where we could stay at least a night or two in Mass (as opposed to having to drive there and back all in the same day).

I have a new favorite beverage: Dr. Brown's Diet Cherry Soda. It's delicious and caffeine free unlike Cherry Coke. Weirdness: C was buying some for me at the store and she ran into someone she knows through work (but not well -- this person certainly doesn't know we are trying to start a family!) who remarked "Oh yeah, you're a fan of Dr. Brown's? It's great, it's a total pregnancy thing" (!!?!!??!!).

Must be a good sign. I personally think that having our next round of IUIs be on the most inconvenient days ever must also be a good sign. Anyway, I am feeling much better about the whole thing.
