72 million and counting...

Cycle Day 11 has come and gone and for some reason I am reserved to write here. I am not sure why. A Wednesday like any other. A travel to Danville for an RE appointment but what is new about that? Was actually nice to get there in only 30 minutes or so. The weather was crappy and the roads empty. Thank goodness. I swear people traveling to and from Danville don't know how to drive. They never go the speed limit. AHHHHH!!! We usually give ourselves an hour to get there and find a parking spot. The search for the parking could take 15 minutes alone. I am just glad the RE office is the first door after you enter the Children's Hospital side. My Endo is all the way on the other side and up like eight floors. That hospital is like a maze. We are experts now between the Endo, Gavin and this. Ok sorry back to the appointment. So since no one was around due to the weather we got right in. Also, never happens. Did all the normal things for a mid cycle scan. *No details needed here*! It took the Dr forever to find any follicles as usual. After much pushing on my stomach he found them. Yeah!!! A 20, 10 & 8 on my right side and a 17 on my left. The left as you know doesn't count. All that matters is that the right is larger than the left. So they called over to the Napper Clinic my injection which I needed to take that night at 11:30pm. A little pissed because the injection cost $8 with our insurance but Drs have found that it works for Obese people to drop weight. Seriously you can loose two pounds a day giving yourself these injections. But that is not what they are intended for. So they are out of the injection because there is a shortage of it. So they have to give me the more expensive injection $40. I was pissed. I know I shouldn't be most insurances don't cover it at all and for that one injection alone is almost $100. So we go home and wait until 11:30pm so Chad can give me the injection. Doesn't hurt which is weird but Gavin destroyed my nerves on my lower stomach so I don't feel anything there. Wasn't a pretty situation when they went to do the C-Sect. Ouch!!! So we go back Friday.....

Cycle Day 13! Today!! What a day. Chad's appointment was for 10am then we had to wait two hours and come back at noon. I was excited and scared that it wouldn't work. But not nervous...well not until they called me back and made me wait in the room for 15 minutes. This is not unusual but I was getting knots in my stomach. So the Dr came in and verified that the vial was ours. Yup! It was! Then she said the magic number...72 million. Yup 72! Last time it was checked it was 111 million. But this time they had to wash it and well some don't make it. She said they like it to be over 20 million, 10 million washed. The Dr did her thing*I don't feel details are needed here*. It involved a catheter. Enough said. So they are there or here whichever you prefer. So I can go crazy for the next two weeks. I go next Friday for bloodwork to check my progesterone levels. If they are low I will need another med.

And now we wait.....with our fingers and toes crossed...and pray.
