IUI

OK it's done! Now we cross our fingers and wait two weeks for the results. Oh we will NOT be posting our results here until we have made it past that ever tricky first trimester. We can't go through the happiness of telling people we're pregnant only to have to turn around a few weeks later to say we've miscarried. That pain was enough the first time.

So here's our good news from today, Mike had 6 times more sperm than our last attempt! Thank God for OJ!! The Docter was VERY pleased, as were we. The guy who washed the sperm even said "Today is your day!" Which of course gets my hopes up, I'm trying to not get them up, but it's hard not to. It cracks me up that they "Wash" the sperm - don't you envision a little guy back there with a sald spinner plucking out the slow ones? Mike's comments on his paper today about the sperm were "Vigorous and fast moving". I hope so! How can one NOT get pregnant with millions of sperm? I just need one! The Dr. said sometimes the sperm get confused and lost on their way, oh great. I hope Mike's sperm has a better sense of direction than he does.

So now we enter the torturous 2 weeks of waiting. This is the worst part of the whole thing
