Feels like today!

Today's the day! Going in for my first insemination at about 12:30. I wasn't sure we'd get this far this cycle. My Day 3 FSH was higher than normal (actually, it was pretty fucking high and I'm a little freaked out about it), but my doctor said it was okay to proceed. Then when I went back for Day 10, the doctor on duty said my cycle should have been cancelled because of the elevated FSH! WTF? They said it was up to me whether to carry on. Since my hormone levels and follicles looked good, we decided to keep going.

Apparently this particular doctor is a stickler about FSH. My own doctor had mentioned this guy's "rule" in the past. But, as I've learned this week, the only reason to cancel a cycle because of high FSH is if you're using meds, which I'm not. If your body is already stimulating the ovaries, adding artificial FSH won't make a difference. Apparently this guy didn't read my chart. He also wrote an article about how fat people tend to be infertile, conveniently failing to mention that his assertion is skewed by the fact that people with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome tend to be overweight but not all fat people have PCOS. And? Oh joy. He's going to be doing my insemination today. *sigh*

But everything is looking good. I had an intense session of acupuncture yesterday. She needled my low back and used electrical stimulation to really get things moving. Felt weird, but not painful.

All good wishes, thoughts, vibes, and energy appreciated!!

Kweevil's Yuletide Wish List

Dear Yuletide Writer,

I'm Kweevil, half of the twoweevils writing team. My partner is Mweevil, and she's also participating in Yuletide this year

First of all, thank you for doing this. This is the first year I've been involved in Yuletide, and I really didn't know what I was getting into when I said I thought I might like to try it. I hope you didn't feel the same way when you looked at what I gave you to choose from.

( If you asked me, I could write a book… )
