Insemenation

Sunday morning I had a positive ovulation test so when church was over my dear friend Bethany was kind enough to give my smiley face a nose and inject the medication for me.

So today I had to go in with a specimen and they do what they call washing the sperm which separates them out. that took 45 minutes. I sat in waiting room and read. They have to check to make sure everything is normal with the sample so once they called me back the nurse let me look at sperm under the microscope, which was really pretty cool.

Then they use the same tool they do for pap smears, use the BIGGEST q-tip i have ever seen to clean off the cervix. Apparently I am in the 4% that it is difficult to get the tube in the right spot so she had to use an additional tool that grabs onto the side of my cervix to pull it into the right position. she was able to get it up further but said there was a last ridge that she just couldn't get past so she got the sample up as far as she could, not as far as they normally do though. I am not sure how much that will affect anything.

Then I got to lay there for 15 min. and then get dressed and go talk to the nurses about where I go from here. I am supposed to go in next Monday for a Progesterone test which will tell them if the Clomid really worked and I had a good ovulation which will determine what we will do next month in the way of medication if needed. Then a couple weeks after that I will go in for a blood pregnancy test. So at this point the Dr. has done everything medically they are going to do this month.
