Freakin BFN AGAIN
AF arrived and I'm so happy to have the cycle over with. I don't like having a delayed AF - if it's a BFN I want it over with immediately so I can move on. That said, I just booked a trip to Walt Disney World and I'm cancelling my "Since I may be pregnant" vacation plans.. since I won't be. I'm still going to go in for my day 3 scan just to make sure everything is ok from my last round of clomid and I'll cancel the cycle after getting the results.

Death of a Computer
So my computer is dead again. I'm writing this over my Wii internet channel & it will probably take me 20 minutes to write.
Bummer. I thought of canceling my trip to buy a new computer but with all the stress of ttc these last few months I figure I should get away & have fun.Tuesday, March 25, 2008
#2
I'm at home this morning because I found out that my insemination is going to be at 11:00 am (normally 12:30pm). Good news - I did ovulate yesterday. I was worried that my 30 mm follicle was actually a cyst but it appears it wasn't.

2ww
I'm officially in the 2WW! I had my first of two inseminations this morning. My follicle was 30mm.Thankfully it was still there when I went in this morning because my surge came at its typical fast and furious rate again this cycle. On Friday I was LH4 and on Saturday LH42. I thought for sure I'd missed Ovulation AGAIN but nope, my easter egg was still there.

BIG FOLLIE
on CD12 with a huge 24 mm follie and no sign of a surge! It's going to be a LONG long weekend - although I was FIRST on the list for b/w and u/s this morning (first time ever) so things may be quiet at the clinic due to the holiday.
I don't think they'll trigger me because it's not in my protocol. When I went in on Tuesday my Follicle was already @ 20mm. They could have triggered me then and I'd already be in the 2WW!!! Instead I'm spending Easter Long weekend going in for b/w and u/s at 7:00 am.

Our Donor (#2)
Since we're running dry we opted for a new donor. This was my number one choice but we decided against him originally because he looks A LOT like my brother and that is just weird if you think about it too much. Since #1 hasn't worked we're moving on. We've also submit our paperwork for the ID release donor we may use.

Fairfax
AF arrived late this afternoon.
It took me a long time to be comfortable with Donor sperm in general (I'm a bit paranoid about diseases and stuff) and Fairfax won because of their screening procedures include PCR and serological testing. That may sound silly since I know there have been a couple of high profile issues with them in the past couple of years but my hope is that they have learned from that experience and corrected their procedures (which were not screening related but reporting related). I've thought of going with Xytex to pick a new donor but I keep coming back to Fairfax and only being comfortable with them.
I can't believe that my next try is the last one for a 2008 baby! My mom's bday is December 14th and it looks like my EDD for try #5 would be December 16th. That's pretty cool.
