Getting There...

Hopefully I'll have some time to come back and fill in the gaps on this post, but just so I don't forget the relevant details...

Follicles (Sylvia took notes during the ultrasound, and wrote "I love my wife!" at the top. Awwww...)
L: 18, 11, 11, three less than 10 mm
R: 11, 11, five less than 10 mm

Bloodwork
E2: 124
Progesterone: 0.4
LH: 5.5


They want us to come back Friday for another ultrasound and round of bloodwork, and bring the trigger shot again. If we trigger Friday morning, we'll do the IUI Saturday.

And: We have sperm! And it is currently sitting in the RE's lab awaiting our IUI appointment!

It was a crazy morning-- an hour of driving from the RE's office (after the ultrasound) out to the sperm bank then another hour back to the RE's office, hauling the tank in to the office (full) then back to the car (empty, but not any lighter!), then making a mad dash for work (yep, super late). I tell ya, there is nothing like hauling a heavy tank of swimmers 5 blocks... in the rain... wearing a suit... and 3 1/2 inch heels.

I got a kick out of seeing our car all loaded up with baby-making equipment, and snapped a quick picture on my cell phone. The white container held the trigger shot, the gray container held the swimmers, and the blue file box holds my brain together (it has all our paperwork, notes from appointments and phone calls, rejection slips from the insurance company, etc.).
