twoweevils | The Sound of Follicles

I am (quite stupidly) superstitious about reporting any positive news here. We've had a rough time over the past few months, so I'm being very cautious in my optimism. That said, my Day 3 FSH was 7.7, there were follicles present on both ovaries, and my other bloodwork seemed fine, so we're going ahead with planning to inseminate this cycle. I go back in on Saturday for more bloodwork and ultrasound. If all continues to go well, we could be doing the inseminations as early as Monday and Tuesday.

The naturopath is happy with my progress. My yin pulse is much stronger than before (whatever that means), I'm sleeping well, and I'm much calmer and more relaxed. I'm meeting the doctor tomorrow to discuss timing of the inseminations and whether we should use an HcG shot to trigger my ovulation. Last time I used the trigger, I went off about seven hours later -- 10 hours before the insemination. Not good. Hopefully we can do better next time.

Saw Janna in The Sound of Music last night. She was marvellous. The guy playing Captain Von Trapp was kind of a dud, but he had a gorgeous voice. Overall, an excellent evening out. We might go see it again in the new year.

Tetley Decaf Tea is very much like the real thing. I'm even fooled into thinking it's giving me a caffeine boost. Which I need desperately after my late night. *yawn*
