Hey Joy & Ladies,
Yes I did another scan today (not quite ready yesterday) and I'm finally ready. My follicles have grown to:
21, 19, 18, and 17!!!!!
Tonight I do the ovulation shot and tomorrow(wed) and Thurs are my inseminations. Thank goodness the doctor is allowing me to have afternoon inseminations. My boss is giving me a hard time about taking time off in the mornings for all the scans and bloodwork.


Ladies please pray that these are healthy eggs...
Love You All SO MUCH!!!!!

Hello Ladies,
Princess, Joy, and Smita thank for for the posts!!!!
Hello Nicki and Ogr :wink: .
Smita....Congratulations...12 weeks today! How Wonderful :wink:

Princess....I'm joining you on the 2 week wait today...Horray :wink: . Your test date is Aug. 16 and I'll test on Aug. 18. When will you get the results....same day or next day?????

The doctor and nurse both commented that the sperm was, "nice." They looked at the percentage of live moving sperm rather than sperm count. Today it was 97%. Yesterday it was 91%...was yesterday's a low percentage???

FYI: Yesterdays insemination was ICI...cervical insemination.
Today was IUI...insemination in the uterus

YAY Katie.
I am not real sure about the sperm stuff.
But that's wonderful that you are on the wait now.
Did you use the same donor??
Love
Joy

Hey Joy (Princess :wink: )
No I changed donors. I really liked 2 donors equally so I used one last time(Apr 05) and the other one this time(Aug 05).

When will you get your Aug. 16th test results??? Same day or next day.
I can't wait to hear good news from you.

Hi Girls.

We dont pick our donor til the day before insemination. Which I dont really understand?
I would like to know now.
Last time we had 3 to chose. We chose an artist guy.

Do you think that the occupation of a donor really matters?

My scan is tomorrow. IUI looking to be thurs/fri. Still going for the 2 inseminations.

Silly question, but can u have 2 different donors for the inseminaion?
Just thinking then if it's a BFP then we wouldn't actually know who the biologically father is......

Hugs to all my Donor buddies. great to have you peeps here to understand me. :D
TTC 6yrs......Have jumped off the rollercoaster for now, too many BFN's and too much heartache, to keep going....Moving on to fulfil other dreams!!!

I have picked my Donor. Blue eyes, Brown hair, 5ft 8,

Having the same donor for both inseminations.

He was the last blue eyed one available! It needs to have blue eyes.

Anyway, read my follicle post on IUI girls and August Buddies thread.

It's gonna happen any day soon..... Feeling very positive about this one!! x x

:D
