I have once again so not been around my own blog for the past few days.  I want to take this moment to apologize to all that I have let down over the past week; I know how much reading my blog means to you all! 

No, but in all seriousness, I want to genuinely thank each and everyone of you who visit my little blog on the giant WWW and care enough to comment and share your advice and opinions.  Since I started this site back in November, I have met so many wonderful people and never knew how accepting the blogosphere inhabitants could/ would be.  I am elated by everyone’s kindness and general sense of compassion.  So go visit each other if you haven’t already (take a peek at my blogroll but keep in mind there are so many blogs that have not yet been added- I will get to that as soon as I can).  A HUGE THANK YOU GOES OUT TO YOU ALL!

Now an update on my follicles:

I went yesterday for another monitoring session, blood work and the ‘dildo-cam’, as I’ve heard so many women refer to it as such.  Although I’m not sure I should use the term ‘dildo-cam’ because a ‘dildo’ would usually imply a sense of pleasure, and I can tell you from my gazillion experiences having transvaginal sonogram, that there is absolutely ZERO pleasure to be gotten here.  It is a doctor’s visit, one, and two, IT’S A DOCTORS’S VISIT.  Not to mention the wand is super skinny and oh I don’t know…maybe some people like that sort of thing?  Twisted is what I have to say about that.  And every time he’s about to “perform”, he says to me, “Ok, you’re going to feel a little pressure.”  Do you think he says that to his wife before they, ya know, do it?  LOL!   I had my husband rolling with that.  Anyhow, see how easily I go off in the opposite direction.  I think I will use the term v-cam (easy enough). 

So the v-cam showed that my left side looks to be out of the game for this cycle, unless they miraculously catch up by go- time.  And my right shows two follicles, 11mm and 13mm.  I have to say I was immediately disappointed because I expected to have like 3 (which is the max he will work with in the case of IUI, for fear of high risk multiples) 20 mm follicles ready to trigger.  High hopes I suppose.  So he said “You know it’s still very early in the game so we are in a good spot right now.  The last two cycles you didn’t ovulate until day 23- 25 and today is only day 13, so hang in there and we’ll call you back later today with your blood results to let you know when to come back for monitoring again.”

So I left feeling a tad defeated.  But they called yesterday afternoon to tell me they want me back for monitoring tomorrow (Saturday) morning, so we will see where my lil follies are at then!  I have much love for my follicles…I never knew one could feel this way about tiny, fluid- filled, egg containing sacks.

That’s all for now kiddies! 

Woot Woot!
