Two is better than one...or eight!

Just a quick recap on how this cycle is progressing. I had a monitoring appointment bright and early this morning. I made it there on time, and without any marathon trainers or giant pot holders this time. Although. I did have to get up about an hour earlier than usual. I reset the time on my alarm last night, but then never actually set it! Good thing I didn't really sleep last night, so I had my eye on the clock. I was at work an hour earlier than usual. Now, that's the kind of behavior that is going to make my coworkers suspicious!

Random question for you ladies, just out of curiosity. When you're visiting with the dildo-cam, do they ask you if you want to put it in yourself? And do you? I never do. I'm too busy clutching the thin paper blanket around my ass to want to reach down between my legs. But anyway!

I got my results this afternoon. All looks good. Two follicles on the left this time. Much better than the exuberance of last time, and an improvement over our December IUI with gonal f, where we only had one. Back on Friday. Oh, and a pap smear tomorrow with my OB/GYN. Busy week for my hooha.

On the subject of March, thanks for all the words of support. As Amanda put it, it is my month of love. So, I'll focus my energies on that. That, and the fact that Hubby, his brother and his father are all Sagitarians. Here's hoping that those little swimmers have a strong desire to keep up the family tradition.

Coming soon, another chapter in the my dad is an ass story, and the story of how Hubby and I first met.

  1. I do ultrasounds and I never ask if they want to put it in. It is just easier if I do it myself (lots of practice)! But some of the girls that I work with do ask the patient if they want to....I have just always thought that it makes it more awkward!

    I hope this March is your best March yet!

  2. During my U/S, the technician hands it to me to do myself, never given the option and I kind of prefer how it worked out.

  3. I have not yet had the extreme pleasure of meeting the dildo cam. I'll let you know when I do.

  7. The first time I had one I was asked to put it in myself and then she took it out to readjust (like I just didn't do it right, lol) and then asked me to put it back in! That was awful!

  8. Putting it in yourself??? I think that's worse than the tech doing it!! Thanks for the thyroid info you gave me. I feel so much better now that they found something. I hadn't heard that it should be 2 for women ttc but I'm going to ask my ob ab it. Thanks again! It's so nice to find other people going thru this!
