Drive By Sperming


I just arrived at my appointment an hour early. My adorable nurse called yesterday and asked me if I could come in early today. Due to a busy baby making IVF schedule Dr. H has today, of course I did.  So I left work early, ran home changed and took care of the pups since I won't be back until later than usual.  I swear it feels like they should have a drive through window setup for IUIs. I will take a number 4 IUI with a shot of Ovidrel hold the cramping.  But then all the creeps would be hanging out waiting to catch a glimpse of what's under the sheet.

Which makes me want to grow my hair out and cut out little designs. Like an arrow or a heart.  I wonder what Dr. H would think of my artistic ability. It would be worth a laugh. Or twelve.

Seneca Crane(Hunger Games) meets Minion..totally doable...

So my vaginal ultrasound went well. Correction. "Perfect".  That is what Dr. H said. He even said the word "Doublets" again and my heart skipped a beat. Two perfect 25 and 26mm follicles on the right and smaller ones on the left. Lining and cervical fluid(which he has never mentioned until today) and is one of those little bubbles of hope I talk about. Both perfect he said.  Something different and new. Cervical fluid. Yep. Pretty sexy baby making biz going on over here. I actually started taking Evening Primrose Oil about 6 weeks ago and if the sperm make it to the end zone I will become a spokeswoman for that crap. Pinky promise. And if I get paid I will donate all the money to infertile couples everywhere.

I had my shot of Ovidrel. 250mcgs is what Mrs. L told me it was when I asked. Not sure what that means. I've had three so far. I know I get extremely bloated and more tired than usually than from just being on the Femera alone but as long as it eventually works they could shoot me up with 3 day old hot dog water. 

So now we wait for the sperm to thaw. Always waiting on the men. Typical.  And so in 45 mins I will have 6-7 million sperm trying to reach just one egg. If I am producing those of course. I have good follicles but that doesn't mean I have good eggs or any at all. Only time will tell. And more testing if this cycle fails.  But let's not think about it failing and only think about it working. 


This was me having fun while waiting on the sperm.  Dave likes to be the center of attention. "Look what I can do" "I can do levitation" kind of guy. But he is cute. I think I will keep him.  

7 million again this time. PTL! Could be better fresh. But we are using frozen for those of you just catching up. 7 million is a beautiful number compared to those that are handed 0. Thankful for every single one.  


A little waiting room humor from my husband half way around the world. He always make me laugh.  It and he is exactly what I need. Laughter.  He is the edge pieces to my puzzle. You know, the ones you find first that hold everything together.  "Making them out of old diaper boxes," FTW. I cannot stop laughing and envisioning him with diaper boxes on his feet. I die. And have to pee now but I am worried I will lose all our swimmers. Holding it until I cramp. So healthy. And not even the same hole. 


And the wait begins. I would like to add #nofilter #nomakeup #dirtyhairdontcare for the IG freaks. And for my own vanity. This is me waiting out my 15 mins of unfame.  The 2ww begins now. So if I don't post anything please do not think I slipped into a Jimmy Johns number 12 coma. I am working nights next week and will be adjusting from the normal 3am wakeup to the 10pm start. Don't expect to see any pictures of me trying to be cute either. Nobody wants to die. 

Prayers are always appreciated.  Thank you for all your love and support!! Eventually we will get there God willing. No pressure on me. It's already in his hands! Keep on fighting girls and keep those beautiful heads up!

P.S.
My sweet friend Chelsea(her blog is on my page) sent me this daily devotional and it has been amazing. LOVE it! LOVE her! Prayers for her and her FET yesterday! This girl totally kicks major booty. Thanks again!


P.S.S (Post Script Script more thoughts after writing the post script) Now you know......your welcome.


And a huge thanks to Lauren for this beautiful picture and frame. I look at it everyday. And when I see it, it helps me to keep my head up and smile.  Knowing this was made and sold to raise money for an adoption couple makes my heart smile. You are such an angel. Xoxo


And a little trash TV humor....OK I'm done! Have a great weekend everyone!
