Switching Donors

We aren't pregnant. I was convinced I was. It was CD 28 and it was 10 pm and Aunt Flo still hadn't arrived. It was going to happen. It was real. I had 4 psychics tell me either "July" or "you are pregnant". I was convinced. Pooey on them. And Pooey on Aunt Flo. I was sitting on the toilet, peeing on a stick, when there shot Aunt Flo like a cannonball out of a blaster. Ugh. We cried. It was hard to sleep. It was a mean, cruel joke she played on us. I had zero signs.

I cried the next day. I was so bummed. I didn't get to talk to our FNP until 5 pm that day. She made me feel some better, but not much. She said she would put us in the infertility category if we wanted, but that SHE didn't recommend it nor did she think that's where we should be. She said it is simply an exposure to sperm issue with as regular as my periods are. Her suggestion for Round 4...switch donors. She went back through our chart and said she had written LOW COUNT on try 1, GOOD COUNT LOW MOTILITY on try 2, and GOOD COUNT on try 3. She said we have tried him 3 times, it's time to have a talk with this fellah.

We took to our cryobank's website and began looking at our back-up choices. xxxx(5) sounded good, but so did xxxx (9). I like how 9 sounds because he is described as VERY good looking and has everything that goes with that--athletic and intelligent. When we originally picked out the donor we tried 9 was not available. He was still in quarantine. He is available now. He has a baby photo available but the Wife is not comfortable with that. I am trying to make her feel as much a part of this as possible. She we compromised and bought the long profile which will give detailed information. He has had 2 hospitalizations that I am hoping are outlined.

So we've got our ultrasound scheduled. I am lightly back on social media sites. I'm continuing acupuncture. I had another session Thursday. It was the best so far. I left SO relaxed and spirits lifted. My arms were tingling during the session and I got that very heavy, which I determined is a relaxed feeling. My entire body got chills, not hot or cold, just chills. Then went into a very warm sensation. So bizarre!! Not sure what all she's doing to me with those needles but I like it!! She used a LOT more on me this time. I go back the same day we ultrasound for another treatment. I suspect we will IUI the next day.

More news as it happens...
