Fertility Update

That is what this website is supposed to be about, right? I went in for the post-coital test this morning. Guess what? It turns out that W's spermies make it through my cervix, but then they completely stop swimming. Lazy little buggers. I don't know if they just wear out easily or if it has something to do with going through the cervix. Either way, we're doing IUI's from here on out. We've got our first one on Saturday.

I've got only one dominant follicle this month. I am actually okay with that. The thought of ending up like crazy-lady octomom was not making me happy last month. I much much much prefer to just have one baby at a time.

In other good news? The dominant follie I just mentioned.....it's on my LEFT SIDE! Hallelujah to my left ovary for figuring out how to ovulate. If I could, I would go down there and give it a hug and a high-five! This is good news because my left tube was open on the HSG, but my right tube was not completely open. Ovulating on a bad tube x 6 months = no pregnancy. Ovulation on a open tube = Yeah, parties, candies, etc!!!

I'm still out there in the job hunt. I interviewed with a company today, and that job sounds like heaven. It's got benefits, stability, FANTASTIC PAY, a half-day off each week, and it's 5 minutes from my house. I have been thinking about opening my own private practice, but working with this other company sounds so wonderful, especially in this awful economy.

It'll be interesting to see how life plays out. I can't help but think that decisions made now (both with fertility and work) will affect our future from years to come.
