Gotta make it work
August 30, 200817 million
August 30, 2008The perfect donor also has the best counts we have ever had. 17 million and 48% motility. The IUI went really well, but I can’t feel anything. You’d think with 17 million swimming that I would feel something going on in there. I can feel a little cramp on the right side, but I thought after the IUI it would feel more like China’s opening ceremonies or a parade. A little pow, bling and shizam. Funny. I guess all those straight girls having sex just carry on about their day like nothing happened and don’t feel anything either.
I am wearing my shark underwear to encourage swimming. I believe it is a positive influence.
Who is the husband?
August 30, 2008I had an ultrasound on Friday and one follicle is developing right on time. The low dose of Clomid did it’s magic. I also now have a cold and am sneezing my head off. I was up all night so temperature taking is a bust. Really it doesn’t matter since we are using the ultrasound and trigger shot. My best girl gave gave me the shot this morning and it went really well. No panic, just a quick jab and it was done. She then started to dance around singing about how ‘big’ she is and bragging about being a husband. Tomorrow at 10 we have the IUI and hopefully this new Asian donor is the bomb. He is the perfect donor and I am hoping that his counts are high and his swimmers strong. The only thing left to do is try not to sneeze during the the IUI. I would hate for the speculum to become a projectile. Luckily, I am starting to get a bit better.
Why Blog?
August 30, 2008Sometimes I just want to put it all out there. There is so much to say and yet often I just don’t want to talk about it face to face. It adds to the roller coaster ride. At the same time, I want my closest friends and fellow bloggers to be with me on this journey.
I feel great about pouring out my ‘lady business’ on-line and I like calling it ‘lady business.’ Most of the time TTC just doesn’t flow into regular conversation. There is no way to casually chat about adventures with the dildocam, sperm counts and the results of POAS.
I also love my super cool blogger friends. I call them friends even though I haven’t met them and they don’t know me. They have just helped me out so much and are really cool.
