Stars

Danielle is convinced the stars are aligned this cycle. You should see how happy and optimistic she is. It's quite beautiful to see and I feel like she has enough optimism for the both of us. When we got there we were happily surprised to see our actual assigned doctor walk into the room to do our IUI. This is the first time she did it. Prior to that we had the nurse and the ice queen. She was so pleasant, encouraging and cheerful that it really raised my spirits. Both she and Danielle were happy with our donor's numbers, to my response to the medication this cycle, and with how the actual IUI went stating she was able to get the catheter in with ease and far up as possible. So now we are in the tww.

In other news, we are considering getting a puppy. It's not definite because our cat is incredibly spoiled and doesn't socialize well with other pets. For those that have both dogs and cats in their home, do you have any suggestions? We are really concerned that Slice will attack the it. In the meantime, here are some possible names: Giles or Willow for a boy. Zava or Winnie for a girl. Danielle hates them all but I think they are fun.

Green Light- Go

There's a rule in the ultrasound changing room that says you cannot ask the tech any questions during the ultrasound. At my clinic you have to wait for a phone call a few hours later from the RE nurse with the results. So imagine my suprise when the tech told me today that my 6mm (although I swore she said cm) cyst was gone and that I only have a small one but I should be good to go. I think she took pity on me because at one point during the ultrasound I closed my eyes and sighed without meaning to. My RE nurse called to confirm. I start taking shots tonight.
