Kissing Ovaries

So I've been in to the doctor twice so far this week.

Yesterday: Bloodwork in the am and then off to the dr for a sono. He checked my follicles to see how many I had and what their sizes were. Of course I seem to be a slow mover on some of these things and I didn't have any ready to go. The good news however, was that there were a few that looked promising and my uterine lining looked good.

The other odd (cute) thing that happened was that while he was doingthe sonogram he said "Oh look you have kissing ovaries." I said "What?" He then showed me on the screen. My ovaries are literally touching each other right now - partly because they have been stimulated and partly because they are only attached by ligaments and can move around slightly. It was very cute to see on the screen and I thought to myself.... awe.... maybe this is a good sign :-)

One small vial of medicine last night and that was a BREZZE!

Today: Back to the lab for bloodwork and another sono. All is looking good. There are a few follicles that he thinks will be ready in a few days (he is waiting on bloodwork) but he also had some concerns. He told me "We don't want all these guys getting to the train station at the same time!" I know right now with the precedure we are doing (IUI) there is a fine line. They want to give us the best possible chance of becoming pregnant but also want both mom and baby to be healthly (hence having 8 eggs and getting them all fertilized wouldn't be good). This however, can be hard for me as it seems like we haven't been having any luck getting one of my husband's dudes to fertilize an egg. If they had a few more to find it might be easier for them.

Through this journey I continue to learn more and more and I continue to grow closer to the staff at the office. I erally enjoy medical science and through my expereince I really wish I could do something.... get out and talk to people about infertility and/or work in an office with those women who are going through it. It can be a really lonely feeling.

Ovaries were still kissing and I'm holding onto my hope that it is a good sign and what we needed.

End of this week will be it I hope!!!! Baby thoughts :-)
