folliculee folliculaaa

 Ah.. who knew that when sperm wanted to meet an egg it was such an ardous process! I had these ideas that the queenly egg would just waltz out on to the dance floor, take a glance around at her suitors and smilingly tip her fan at one of the ten million tadpoles in tuxedos who may be waiting for her beck and call.

ah. the innocence.

I didnt expect the ongoing intercourse I would have to have with a camera (otherwise known as a trans vaginal ultrasound). We have taken to naming the vaginal passage (god what an ugly expression) (hi, please meet my vaginal passage) the "Bruce Highway". God knows theres been more traffic up there since starting IUI than in a number of years. The irony of the camera wearing a condom as well is also not lost on me.

 I do feel like while I am sitting in that medical room with a penis shaped object up myself that I should at least be asking the nurse holding it for a date ( or at least her last name) while she examines my ovaries for 45 minutes straight. After three visits with her now she knows my ovaries better than I do.  I wonder if she likes mexican.

Dont get me wrong. It is kind of cool looking at your ovaries... indiana joneish. "The search for the perfect follicle". (That gets me wondering on a whole different tangent... I do hope that donor does resemble Harrison ford.

I was told this time my follicles were a little small. I dont know what that means yet but I hope in a couple of days it will all be cleared up and they will have developed into the baby making machines I need them to be. If not it could mean more tests.

If not, then that could mean "drugs"... and not the kind that you wanna take. The kind that make you grow 15 kilos, sprout a severe rage disorder and cry for 5 days straight.

Sounds like a kick.... where do I sign up?

I didnt know either that I would become such an adept at peeing in a cup. I am so ready to enter one of those pissing on a biscuit contests as I would blitz the competition after 24 months of doing it.

I am just gonna focus on growing them... this time. I think i can I think I can I think I can....

wish me luck.
