" &amp;quot;If wife sleeping, please wake for sex. xoxo&amp;quot; That was the note I left on the bathroom mirror for my Hunky Husband last night. I was exhausted, what with waking up early for my IUI and still feeling the effects of my wicked cold (finally on its way out). We were instructed to have sex last night and again this morning, as a backup to the IUI. I was passed out cold when Hunky came home and, being a gentleman, he did not wake me up. And I was grateful. And we had backup sex this morning, so I feel like we&amp;#039;re covered. Hmm, maybe we&amp;#039;ll have to do it again tonight, just to be on the safe side. Yesterday went well. Hunky gave another &amp;quot;great&amp;quot; sample \u2014 I&amp;#039;m so proud of my man! I kinda got the giggles right before the insemination. The physician&amp;#039;s assistant who performed it came into the exam room and introduced herself. And then I couldn&amp;#039;t remember: Did she say Christine or Christina? I mean, she&amp;#039;s the potential baby&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;father&amp;quot; in a way, the one who actually could impregnate me, so shouldn&amp;#039;t I know her name? I found this very amusing and tried not to laugh. Not laughing turned out not to be a problem: the IUI was a major cramp-fest! When Christine/a was finished, I had 20 minutes to kill while I rested, so I made phone calls: I called Hunky for a &amp;quot;post-coital&amp;quot; chat, but got his voice mail. Mom was out too. Reached my fab sis-in-law and got to hear my brilliant 11-month-old niece say &amp;quot;Auntie&amp;quot; into the phone. Made my day. And now begins what the infertility world refers to as the 2ww \u2014 two-week wait. For me it&amp;#039;ll have to be two weeks and a day, since I&amp;#039;ll be out of town on the 20th. It&amp;#039;ll take every fiber of my being not to pee on a stick, but again, a false positive is way worse than not knowing. Patience, self. Have patience.
