And so it begins....



Yesterday I showed up a little before 11am to get turkey basted.  I waited and waited, wondering why all of the other women were called in before me.  Was there something wrong with CP’s sample?  Wouldn’t they have called me if something was wrong?

Turns out they just ran out of ultrasound rooms and it was a very busy day at the office.  My doctor was a resident that I saw right after my surgery and although she is geeky, I enjoy her.  I ended up having one follicle on my left ovary of a good size and my lining looks good. 

CP’s sample was once again fit for a ROCKSTAR.  The doctor said, “Oh yes, this is good enough to post on a fridge.”  SUPER SPERM!  Ha ha.  He was WAY ABOVE normal in all of the categories….so now it’s up to me and my body.  I asked the doctor if my fibroid or endo could be back.  She said she didn’t think so (and didn’t see a fibroid during the ultrasound)…..but that there are a lot of things that science can’t explain (thus the diagnosis of “unexplained infertility” that some couples get).

I told her that CP complained because they only have a VHS player and bad 80s porn in the sample room.  (Not to mention this time they used one of the exam rooms and just wheeled a television/VHS unit into the room.  How sexy it must have been for him to give his sample while in a room with stirrups and ultrasound wands that look like dildos.  Ha ha.)  She just started laughing and couldn’t believe that they don’t have a DVD player.  If CP has to give another sample (fingers crossed that he doesn’t!), he said he is going to buy an iPad and bring it into the room.

CP didn’t even end up using the videos this time.  He ended up thumbing through a magazine looking at lesbians….which is why we joked later that all of his counts from his sample were so high.  His “boys” thought that they needed to impregnate both of the women!  Ahhh and that was probably TMI.  But also very funny.

And now the two week wait begins…..

LOL. I forget if I asked my husband if he used any of the materials in the collection room. Good luck in your two week window!

Hahahaha. I will tell you a secret if you tell no one (this is a joke, because it's a blog). My husband got butt naked to give his sample. He didn't want to get his clothes dirty. But it wasn't an all-at-once thing. He just didn't want to get his pants or underwear messed up, then he thought he might get it on his shirt, and how embarrassing would THAT be, so off it went, and then he could just wear SOCKS . . . I know that's all they have to do, but they are hilarious about it. My husband would not have agreed to an exam room. He would have flat out refused!
