On your mark…

We’ve got a calendar baby!  Whew!  It feels so good to be part of a plan that has a (positive) ending!  I start Lupron this Sunday - first injection.  And my last BCP is the 17th - thank God!  I swear, my boobs are bursting outa my bra and it aint a pretty sight!  As of the 18th, all the possible horror begins and they’ll be watching me like a hawk.  I love my new doctor.

I had a sonahyst this morning - which I guess is the new & improved “HSG” test.  No more dye in the tubes - now they do a terribly uncomfortable catheter/ dildo cam to search for anything in the way.  I’m clear.  Nothing - I mean Nothing is stopping me from getting pregnant!  What?…  This is a blessing and a curse since I don’t happen to be pregnant after 6 fresh insems, 17 IUI’s and 1 IVF FET.  But I’m not bitter.  I’ll stick with the “blessing” route and see what happens next.  If all goes well, we should be moving some babies in for safe keeping on the 9th of June.  When we get the meds and dosages together, I’ll pass them along here so you can follow my estrogen levels.  Again, the doctors commented on my 8000 numbers.  I AM the girliest girl on the planet!

We were talking with Yegs about the donor tonight at dinner.  We’re picking him out of  hundreds from a sperm bank far, far away and his only concern?  “My brother better not be short!  I won’t have people making fun of a short brother!”  And his next request?  “Can we pick a donor from England?  ‘Cause the ladies like the english accent - he’ll be popular.”  Seriously.  He thougth the baby would grow up with an accent from whatever origin he came.  God I love kids.

EVERYTHING sounds better with an English accent.
That kid is da bomb.

Good luck. It’s tough to decide !

I can’t WAIT for this cycle. I just FEEL it !

When I was reading this I was having flashes of Yegs sitting on Bill Cosby’s lap while delivering the punch line.

Awesome that yo have a calendar to oooohhhh and ahhhhh over! Does it have colored squares and everything?? Ours did and I loved it too.
Kids are funny, eh? Love how real and authentic they are about their concerns. I would be a little freaked out if you gave birth to a baby who spoke like House MD. LOL

Congratulations on the calendar. I remember how excited we were about ours! I’m really excited for you two..and can’t wait to hear your big BFP announcement!

Calendars are good! Way excited for your cycle.

How exciting!! Does this mean you’ll miss pride?

How depressing that Pride is such a large part of my life…(because of work) I planned it “around” Pride so I won’t miss it. The t-fer will be day day after.

How exciting! Yegs cracks me up. LOL.

I can’t wait for the babies! Did I just say babies?

wanted to say - good luck!

Can’t wait to hear the news later on!

:-D

I wish I understood all the babymaking lingo … but I get the gist of it and cannot wait until it ‘takes’!!!

Oh I am so excited! I love Yegs concerns.. he cracks me up. Choosing a donor is so hard and in the end, it really doesn’t matter at all. We spend hours going over and over these profiles and I could have cared less who’s sperm got me pregnant.. I was pregnant! I do love an English accent though, so if you can figure that one out, that could be profitable. :-)

An Englishman!!!

First of all, I think Yegs is brilliant. He’s always thinking of the things no one else would. That is a sign of brillance, you know.

We are very very excited for you and are sending you all of our best wishes!

OMG, I can totally hear, and see him saying that. He is so damn cute.

Bring on them babies!!!

i’m sending my best wishes to you :) . i didn’t have the fortitude to stay with the process. i know wish i did.
p.s. found your site by way of nerdgirl

I LOVE the accent comment, that’s hysterical! Totally rooting for you guys, I believe our retrieval will be a week or two before yours so here’s hoping to have babies due around the same time. That would be 1 baby for us, and it sounds like you’re hoping for 2 or more over there so I hope you get whatever you’re hoping for ; )

Aww..that’s cute that he thought babies pop out with an accent!

Good luck with the transfers Keri. I am saying a little prayer for you guys.

LMAO Yegs! That is way to damn cute!
We will keep you all in our prayers..
I just got caught up on your blog.. Hey, way to go Cristy, the dog run looks beautiful, and your flowers.. Oh the sun helps us all feel a little better, right?
Good luck.. And bring on the babies..
