An up and down kind of day

[judecorp]

It was far too cold and raw today. It wasn't as bad in the morning so I had the misfortune of wearing flip-flops to work. It's hard to do home visits in the driving rain, and doubly so wearing flip-flops. NTS: No flip-flops when it's cold and rainy, mmkay?

Our IUI this morning was done by a different person than last time, and this woman had no bedside manner and was considerably rougher than the last one. So I had cramps on and off today, and some spotting, which didn't happen last time. Sucks, but it's done and hopefully did the trick. We once again got lower numbers than we'd have liked from our donor sperm (6million post-wash with 60% motility) which means I'll be calling the sperm bank tomorrow to talk to them about what can be done. I don't think we want to try this dude a third time with those numbers, even though my doctor's office says 5million is "adequate". Argh, like I need something else to freak about.

I also think I am coming down with something. (Yeah, and walking in the rain in flip-flops didn't help.) I had to clear my throat a lot this morning and now good old Lefty Tonsil is acting up (a little swollen, sore on the inside and the outside). I haven't gotten much sleep the last couple of days, so I'm hoping a good night's sleep tonight will do the trick. Maybe I'll have some orange juice before bed for a Vitamin C jolt. I really don't want to be sick right now.

In random news, I decided on a whim last night to apply for a job that came to me on Monster. It's a Clinical Coordinator position at the GLBT group home here in the area. I know I said I wouldn't switch jobs during this process because I don't want to risk losing my insurance authorization, but there's no hurt in checking it out, right? Well, they e-mailed me tonight and asked when I could come in to talk. That's kind of crazy!

Have a good night, guys. I'm bed bound right after House.

Agreed 100% about the weather. Here's hoping there won't need to be a third time :)

Dude, I know some people who worked there and hated it. I interviewed there too and the chick was an ass...e-mail me if you want details.

Whoa - House is on on Wednesdays in the states?

Watching it is my Thursday night ritual, followed by Grey's Anatomy. Crazy.

I'm really pulling for you with this IUI. I would consider switching donors if this doesn't work, because our DR said she only does IUI with 10 mil or higher post wash. Just a thought... I don't want to get you down about this cycle, just wanted to give you some info you could use in the future if needed.
Get some rest!

omigosh, i interviewed for a job there when i got out of college. it was like, a residential counselor thing though. it seemed like a cool thang, but i didn't want to work with a bunch of gay boys at the time. but the job you applied for sounds way cooler than the one i did! good luck.

I know with the trying to have a baby business you can't try the Airborne, but you might want to try drinking those Dannactive things. They are pretty much like yogurt if pregnant or trying to be pregnant ladies can eat that. As you can see, my pregnancy knowledge is a bit lacking. Anyways the Dannactives don't taste bad and supposedly they are really good for your immune system. I think they help, but I suppose it could be a plocebo effect. I really like the idea of them. Maybe they would help save you from getting sick so much.

hello
