Babyquest update

Let's see, where did I leave off? Well, I don't remember so I'll start from last week. So, the early part of last week Oksana took Clomid (sp.) to increase her chances of getting pregnant. On Saturday morning we went into the doctor for them to do an ultrasound to figure out when the best time to inseminate would be. Oksana responded well to the drugs and has 5 mature eggs in her ovaries. So, Sunday evening at 7pm I had the pleasure of giving her a shot to trigger ovulation. This was not fun. It didn't end up being that bad but the anticipation of it was making Oksana all anxious which was making me feel guilty for having to be the one to give it to her. The needle was 3 inches long. I gave her the shot and she replied, "was that it? That didn't hurt at all". Oh well, now we know if we have to do it again. This morning we went to one hospital to pick up the sperm. We were told that it would be ready when we got there. But, no, there was a change in rules sometime recently and they won't start thawing it until the patient arrives. So, we sat there for over an hour. Oksana was getting livid. Oh, an unhappy Oksana with lots of hormones in her system is not a good thing. When we finally got the thawed sperm (in a container) we put it in her purse and walked over to our Doctor's office for the insemination. We got there and they did the procedure immediately. It was actually really quick. After insemination she had to lay there for 20 minutes to allow the little guys get where they need to be. We get to go through this tomorrow as well because tomorrow is the actual ovulation day. However, since you don't know exactly when your body will release the eggs, it increases your chances to have sperm there already. So, insemination today and tomorrow. I hope she gets pregnant this month so we don't have to go through all this time (and expense) again.
