The call from the doctor's office this morning said that BCBS (insurance) definitely is requiring updated CD3 bloodwork and an HSG before they will authorize payment for Follistim. So frustrating, because it means that once again we will NOT be inseminating next cycle... only this time we know it before the cycle even starts! Every time I think we're in a situation that can't get more frustrating (like when we had a cycle get cancelled on CD16), we seem to find one that is. I'm debating whether or not I should ask them if they would consider letting us do another Clomid cycle during our HSG cycle... although it seems like whenever I call them with stuff like that they act like I'm the goofiest person ever. I just DO NOT want to sit out another cycle and not be able to try AT ALL until freaking August. Are we EVER going to get to move out of this town?

I'm on vacation now until July 5th and holy crap am I excited. Jeff and Melis are coming out tomorrow night and then on Thursday I leave for a couple of days in Maine with Jodie. Good times. I am excited to not be at work, not go on home visits, not have to do much of anything. Oh, who am I kidding? I have a To Do list written up for tomorrow already.

I ate to the gills at dinner tonight: some raw cucumber to start, then kielbasa (turkey of course), pierogies, and baked beans. Oh I am stuffed. Then Jen cut up some fresh pineapple and I /still/ feel full. Bleh! We also watched the final episode (ever) of Queer as Folk. I don't really like the way it ended. But whatever. No more buttsex on my television!

It's humid as all get-out right now which is making the central air a tempting prospect, but it's supposed to only be in the 70s and raining tomorrow so maybe we will try to hold out for a day and see. Heck, we only used the central air for like 3 days last month and our bill went up about $20! (SCARY.)

I am ON VACATION. Oh yeah, oh yeah. Cross your fingers that the car passes inspection tomorrow. (We got the engine light problem fixed last Monday and they had to reset the light. If the light still comes up as "recently reset," we'll fail inspection. Argh.)

We so totally relate it isn't even funny! 3 cycles cancelled. Sperm recalled by Health Canada. Selected new donor. 2 IUIs - April and May. New sperm recalled - when we wanted to try in June. Second new sperm is here now - so we shall see what happens in July.

Anyway - enjoy your time off!

I am so puzzled by this "recalled by Health Canada" business. How does this happen? Why would HC recall some sperm? That must be so frustrating. We have our sperm (also from Xytex) sitting in the Deep Freeze at my doctor's office but I'm starting to fear that I am /never/ going to use it - that my wife will use it and we'll have this baby that looks EXACTLY like her (since we used her to match) - ha!

Hopefully July is your month, for sure. I guess we have to hope for August... although we spent all month hoping for July.

This is a crazy mess!

Apparently our first lot was recalled for unknown reasons - whatever that means. Then the second lot was recalled because the integrity of the testing was in question - like a quality assurance thing.

So you're planning to carry - or your wife might if things don't happen?

The whole process is crazy making - that's for sure.

Wow, that's interesting about the sperm recall. WARNING: NOT SAFE FOR CHILDREN!

And yes, we're trying at first with me carrying, mostly because I think I want to more than she does and because I have infertility issues, insurance is paying. But Jen is open to the possibility if it doesn't work, although we'd likely go the adoption route first. (Jen is working on some health issues.)

I am tired of being a crazy lady and want to be a crazy lady WITH KIDS! :)

Hahhahaha! Me too!

I want to carry - I've always wanted that. Turns out I have some fertility issues... most of what we are doing is covered by the government- bloodwork, ultrasounds, tests, procedures, etc. -we have provincial health care. The drugs are not covered by the government - but they are covered by my health care plan from work... so that is good. And we pay out of pocket for the sperm.

We have been thinking about adoption as well.

Yeah, right now all we've been paying is sperm, sperm storage, and co-payments. Not like we've been USING the sperm or anything, but it's paid for.

I hoe you get lucky soon!
