Painted my toes for my day 9 ultrasound for cycle 24. If my bloodwork comes back okay, I'll trigger this evening and IUI is planned for tomorrow and Friday. FX I'll have a July 4th conception!
ETA: It doesn't have to be a photo while you are in stirrups. 
I would have taken a picture of my feet outside but I forgot. 
I put a filter on my this photo because my legs are pastey-white. Haha.

Good luck! I usually just wear boring white socks while in the stirrups.

@redsmarties: @T.H.O.U.: @LovelyPlum: @Smurfette: @Kimberlybee: Thanks!! Waiting for my results by email...
@swedishfish: We had that IF sock and nail polish swap and it got me prep for my IUIs. I used to have regular ol' white socks. (Well, I still do.) I bought up some colorful socks, too, so my sock collection is a bit more uplifting.

@bluestriped bee: It's a great idea to collect some fun socks now! When you take your baby to Gymboree class or bounce house parties you have to wear socks anyway. You will be a mommy soon! Keep your heart and faith strong! Good luck.

First, what a funny thread! I would never be able to take a pic of my feet in the office b/c they never leave you alone here. They're just like, 'ok, take your pants off. I'll sit here and wait." AWKWARD!
Also, GOOD LUCK!!! Sending you SME thoughts!!!

I remember one time, going in with socks that matched my sweater (they were both from the Gap ) I actually got compliments from the ultrasound tech. Hey - whatever makes a not so fun experience, a little more bearable!

@bluestripedbee : I love the "war paint" ! 
I felt like I needed to do something to mark (for lack of better word) this battle with IF. I got DH to give me a side shave hairdo a few months back, it's like my inner GI Jane badass. I'll only think about growing it out once we have a baby on the other side of all this. Which may seem crazy but hey, IF ain't easy on the mind.
Sending you the best vibes I can chick.

@sweetooth: haha during my first egg retrieval I had on green socks with white snowflakes (it was January) and the embryologist and anesthesiologist were both admiring them as the nurse was looping my feet into the weird OR stirrup things (that are way up in the air, not like OB stirrups LOL). It was a bit awkward!
ETA: @bluestriped bee: good luck today!!!

@Smurfette: @pinkcupcake: @runnerd: @twodoghouse: @QBbride: @FaithFertility: @Adira: @LindsayInNY: Thank you!
@TheSwissWifeStyle: @mrswin: Most of the the time my office leads me into the room and gives me space to undress. But there were a few times where they tell me to go ahead and undress while they are setting up. Yup, definitely more awkward.
@sweetooth: Nice!
@Robyn_ZA: So I paid for a TTC psychic a few months ago and she said that I'm suppose to have a boy, so my last two IUIs, I've painted my nails with that in mind. I felt like army green this time. Haha. I'm doing whatever I can to think positive. (Though, I would prefer a girl, first. I was tempted to go with pink nail polish but decided to 'trust' the psychic.)

So with my upcoming trip, I didn't have time to paint my toes. So cool socks for this cycle!
IUI # 6 is done! I'm in my TWW!
Hoping this is the one!

@bluestriped bee: YAY! Thinking of you and hoping you have a GREAT trip to Disney! What perfect timing to make the first half of the TWW fly by!
ETA: I seem to really like exclamation marks this morning.

I'll try to remember to take a pic tomorrow. But it'll probably be in the waiting room, because of the ordeal mentioned above
