Is it bad to ask for prayers again?!?

I feel like I am being selfish, but the prayers really seemed to work when I had my surgery so maybe it can definately work for us now. :)

Today I went to see our Specialist again. We are finally moving on in our journey towards having another baby, which I am soooo relieved about. We are going to be doing Intrauterine Insemenation. From what my dr. says
****Disclaimer**** If there are any guys reading this or girls that don't like to talk about "that" stuff you might not want to read this next part :) Just so you are warned!!!

What happens is at the beginning of my cycle I take Clomid (that's what I have been on for this last year) which will help my follicles (where the eggs are) start developing and cooking the eggs. I will then have an ultrasound to see how and if any follicles are developing. If there are some follicles developing then I will get a shot in my muscle which will hopefully make those follicles pop and let the egg/s start going on their trip..:) Now, 24-48 hours after the shot a sperm donation will be made on behalf of my sweet hubby, this will be "washed" ,the sperm will be seperated from the semen (did you know they were different things?) the dead sperm will be removed and only the striving strong sperm will be kept. (Did you know they can also seperate the male sperm from the female sperm at this point? Hmm... I wonder how much I would have to pay off the people to only insert female sperm :) J/K..I'll take whatever I get!! ) The sperm will then be put in a turkey baster(not really, but close enough) and put into my uterus. So this is the procedure...my oh my... it seems like a lot of work.. I will definately be spending A LOT of time at the dr.'s office/hospital during this time, but hopefully it will FINALLY be all worth it.

I am very VERY excited about moving on... and I hope and pray this step works because unfortunately this is the last thing that we can do before IVF (Invitro Fertilization) and if you know anyone that's done this you will know that you pay A LOT of money (which we don't have right now) to hopefully get pregnant (like $10,000 per try).

So this is where the prayers request comes in again. We would really appreciate if you kept us in your prayers and thoughts hopefully things might happen!!
