Well today was the day. We had to be there at 8:30 this morning to get the ball rolling.
Tyler went back at around 8:45 and came back out at about 5 to nine. So the hour wait began while they washed and prepped his sperm. But unfortunately that hour turned into 3 hours. And let me tell you, my panic button was being pushed.
Finally I went back and got prepped myself. With Charlie sitting in the chair behind me and Tyler at my side holding my hand, I was ready. Ready for what I hope is the end of our long 3 1/2 year long journey.
Dr Batres (another one of the REs in the office) came in and gave me the scare of my life. He looks at me and says, "They're dead, they're all dead!" While Tyler looked confused, I knew what he meant, and my heart fell out of my chest and straight through the floor. He then smiles and tells me that the sperm is fine and looks great. Man I swear I was about ready to cry. I thought that maybe the wait was too long and in turn we lost our chance. But he reassured me that he has done successful IUIs with sperm that had waited 8 hours. So, if someone could get pregnant with 8 hour old sperm surely I could get pregnant with 3 hour old sperm. LOL
He figured that my eggs would be dropping sometime between 10:30am-1pm today... so if thats the case, the sperm should have very little travel time to find at least one of those eggs.
Tyler and I have 'homework' for tonight and I will start my progesterone tomorrow night. And if I do in fact get pregnant, the progesterone will help our little bean to stick.
I am supposed to test in 2 weeks which will be Oct 4th. I hope I can hold out that long and I hope that our long journey will finally end will good news.
I will keep the updates coming in hopes that I can keep my sanity.
