The results are in: this morning's counts were the best so far, at 28.5 million sperm post-thaw with 47% motility! Yeehaw!! So let's just hope they can find their way over the next day or two and totally bombard my one little egg! Of course, I'm a master of self-inflicted reverse psychology and figure that if all those times I had more than one and didn't get pregnant, maybe only having one will be just what I need to be successful. Interesting how that works, eh? Also, I was doing some playing around with the numbers of today's date (mostly because I'm bored and am not being very good about not thinking about it), and I found that 3/11/11 adds up to 5, which is what try we're on! Don't quite see it? Let me help: 3+1+1-1+1=5! See??? Totally fool-proof! (Kind of like that pyschotic movie "23"...which, thank you very much, was precisely the number of letters in my full maiden name...coincidence? I think not!) I forgot to mention (but I'm sure you already know from some of my previous posts) that I'm also a master in reading into things too much. But you know what? I just have to make sense of nonsense---it's in my nature!
Anyway, feeling good so far; I had the tiniest amount of cramping during the procedure but since then, haven't felt a thing. Hubby went with me today, although he opted out of being in the room. He said he was "there in spirit" and for "moral support". Damn, he's going to have to get over this being squeamish thing if he's going to witness the delivery of a child!! Of course, he seems to think it's still the 1950's and that he'll be pacing out in the waiting room. I don't think so, scooter! I need someone's hand to squeeze the life out of and someone to yell at and it pretty much has to be him---because I'd feel bad if it were anyone else! Plus, with him not being nearly so "involved" in the conception process, I think it would be crucial for him to experience the birth and immediately start bonding. But we're getting ahead of ourselves here. :) Another good thing is Walgreens tried putting my prescription for progesterone through my insurance again and they're paying all but $40!! YES!! No more $116 progesterone! They saved me somewhere around $185 because the full price is well over $200; the $116 was with the Walgreens discount prescription card. I'll take $40 any day!
I'm ready for a nice relaxing rest of the day; have some books to read and movies to watch and the dishes are piled on the counter not getting done and the laundry is multiplying as we speak. But I'm just following orders and taking it easy. Happy Friday, everyone!! I promise I will try really hard not to read into symptoms this time around. (Or at least, I'll restrain myself from blogging about them at any rate!)
