Finger's crossed folks. We head in for our IUI in 2 hours. I got to give KB a shot in the belly last night (she's needle-phobic)...that was fun. She felt a sharp pain on her left side last night...which is great. If that was ovulation, we are happy it was that side, there were 4 follicles on that side and the largest of all the follicle's was also a lefty. Let's hope the other side did not release...she didn't feel anything and those follicles were much smaller...so chances are good.

I gave KB's uterus a pep-talk last night, today is her 35th birthday, which is the only reason the doctors agreed to do the IUI (because the risk of multiples with 5 mature follicles is not as high if you are 35 or over; they won't do an insemination with more than 4 follicles if you are 34). We got lucky with timing here. At first we had agreed this would be KB's 33rd birthday and that she would be going backwards from now on, like benjamin button. But now we are happily celebrating the fact that she is 35...otherwise it would have been $1000 down the tube for nothing this cycle. This cycle is still way more expensive than all others in the past...close to 2k thanks to the progesterone suppositories and crappy health insurance that doesn't pay a dime of fertility/prescriptions. Can you believe $600 for 6 weeks of progesterone suppositories? Ridiculous.

This morning I treated my beautiful 35year-old wife and her 5-7 (we aren't sure how many were mature) follicles to breakfast-in-bed. Some delicious "mexican eggs" blackcherry yogurt, red raspberry leaf tea, and a square of chocolate. A little healthy, a little delicious...starting these kids off right!

Let the next two weeks come by quickly!
