A Little to the Left

That's where I need my hubby's swimmers to go. Because my left ovary finally took charge! I was beginning to think it didn't work at all since I've ovulated on the right side every single time we've checked. My Dr. is very happy about this since my left side does not have a history of ectopic, like the right side does. So this would be a good month to get that BFP! Do ya here me in there!?!

Everything checked out nicely today. I've got 2 follies looking good at 22 mm and 25 mm. My lining looked great at 10.6 mm, and they did another CM test and Rich's swimmers looked great again. We were so relieved at that. I was afraid all of the stress he's been under at work had caused his sperm count to suffer. But I don't think that's the case. I think last month was probably a fluke due to the HSG dye since that had happened the day before.

For the last few months, every time I go to the RE's office, he's got someone sitting in on our visits. It's someone different every time, interns doing their rotations I guess. It doesn't usually bother me. Except today my Dr. got pretty explicit about sexual positions. He actually said "I don't know what you did different this month, whether you're lying on your back or if your husband stays inside you longer, but it seems to be working. Keep doing it." And the young doc-in-training let out a giggle. Lovely. We're actually not doing anything different. I think the doc was just trying to justify why this month the swimmers looked so much better on the post-coital test. (I hate that term) Again, I think last month was a fluke because of having the HSG the day before and all those chemicals probably screwed with my PH balance and killed off his poor little spermies. The ones that were still alive were just quivering. So sad. Today it looked like a sex ed film again. A bunch of them swimming around like crazy under the microscope. Such a beautiful sight!

    I can not believe your doctor was that explicit OR the intern giggle. Man, feels a little like a candid camera moment.
