Early Surprises from an Old Friend

First of all . . . I took a photo for you all today.

THE DILDO CAM . . . ready to go!

Bwahahahaha! So glad I could share!(Note: If you are a female & haven't seen an image like this live, you will someday. I hope your time comes in a positive way.)

Well, today I lllooooovveeeee the dildo cam.  He was my friend (it is male I hope, right?  right?).   HE is my friend-friend-friend-friend-friend.  :)

I mean, HOLY CRAP!  On CD12, I have a follie that is already 21.7mm!!  WTH?  I always O between CD 14-16, so I was shocked!  Dr. Terrific said my lining looks the best he's ever seen it!  We are on for our fourth and FINAL IUI tomorrow!!!

As usual, Dr. T was full of fun and merriment today.  I swear that I need to take my flip camera with me the next time I see him.  Let's see if I can remember all of this . . .

When I went in last week for my CD3 u/s and b/w.  My FSH was 4.4 (What?!  I'm 42!) and everything else was normal.  I learned that I hadn't had a pap smear in over a year, so I had my pap.  On CD3.  Icky icky ick.

After my fun time with the speculum and swabs, Dr. T said he had a present for me.  I just hung out in the stirrups and sarcastically said okay.  He told me to sit up a bit and he showed me a small, green lid with a small, white toothpick-sized plastic stick on the end.  When he said, "I'm going to stick it in your hiney," I thought WTH kind of present is that?!  Oh goody.  Yet another orafice of my body to be violated.  What a thoughtful gift, huh?!  Well, apparently it's an apparatus for a new test out there to screen for colo-rectal cancer.  Anyway . . . mine came back POSITIVE.  Lovely.  Now colon cancer?  What's next?  A lobotomy?

This positive result from last week led to a bit more prodding today when Dr. T did the test again.  After I changed out of my lovely paper skirt and went back into the nurses' area, Nurse A exclaimed, "You're negative!"  Dr. T, being the funny many that he is, said "YOU aren't negative.  You are positive.  Your ass is negative."  He thinks he's so funny and proceeded to crack up.  I responded, "I'm going to stay quiet until tomorrow is over."  He said, "I know you're just like me and it's KILLING you, huh?"  I told him to schedule my tongue transplant after my IUI.  Touche!

Someday I WILL get him back.  Something shocking and freaking hilarious.  Those of you who know me personally *know* how much fun I could have with this.  :)  Maybe the day he delivers our baby would be a good time.          :: kekis begins her scheming ::

My bp was really high today. Too high. I knew it was when I sat down, so I warned Nurse Excellent before she even put the cuff on my arm. When Nurse Amazing came by & saw it she was not happy. Nurse E wanted to test it again & Nurse A snapped, "It WON'T go down.  It always goes up higher the second time on her!"  Told you I've been overwhelmed, stressed & anxious lately.  Medications are only helping so much.  Hmph.

Well, I'm tired already and need to relax.  I will ask that if you have any to spare, that you say some major prayers for us tomorrow.  This may be the very last chance that DH and I will have to create a child.  Yes, we are looking at IVF if this doesn't work, but we're not sure how to swing it financially.  We are also discussing how much longer this whole TTTC/IF thing is going to go on because it can't forever. 

So for now, I'm considering tomorrow's IUI a last chance until things pan out and God hears our cries in yet another way.  Thanks to all of you for supporting us and loving us along the way.
