Done and done!

IUI#3 part 2 this morning went pretty well.  I woke up feeling pretty crampy and like there were baseballs where my ovaries should be. I took a couple Tylenol on the way to the clinic to help with that.  Overall, it was the same shit, different day - did our thing, went to Timmy's, then back for the spermination.  H's post wash numbers were >68 mil, >80% motility.  He was concerned that his numbers are declining, I assured him he's crazy, his numbers are amazing.  Silly guy, but it was kind of cute, he wants to make sure there's nothing else he should be doing to help.

The RE asked how I was feeling, I told her rather crampy but certainly didn't go on about it.  She said it might be a good idea to give me that script for the medication to simmer my ovaries down.  It wasn't until we got to the front desk that I found out it's $175 for 8 pills - holy crap that's expensive!  I think I'll see how I'm feeling throughout the day, keep taking tylenol and if that's taking the edge off, I'll stick with that.  We also thought about taking the script to the pharmacy to see if our insurance might actually cover something for us - if that's the case, I will likely get it.  I am hesitant for the sheer fact that I have put a crap load of drugs into my body in the last two weeks, I would really prefer to not have to take anything else if I don't have to (I don't count Tylenol as a "drug" in the same sense).  I also loaded up on more Powerade, since they recommended I drink a good bit of that over the next 5 days.

Beta is scheduled for March 19, which was my grandmother's birthday.  I didn't have a chance to know her, she passed away when I was about 3 weeks old.  I think there is one picture of her holding me.  It would be pretty special for me to get good news on her birthday.  It also makes for perfect timing for the getaway H and I are trying to plan for my birthday weekend.  I could really use a few days away, preferably somewhere hot and on a beach.  Now that we have all of our dates, I'm going to get searching for a trip!

Now, on to the waiting.  We've done all we can do, and we have a pretty good shot between hitting O-2, and B2B IUIs with lots of follies and plenty of swimmers!   Please let this be lucky #3 for us!
