Now That We've Got it Down...It's Over

We had our final IUI today, and we were like pros: we know the routine ,and it was amazingly smoothly, especially considering our host of problems. Catheter problems. Sperm problems. Asshole doctor problems.

So now I understand why people decide to do it more than the three times doctors recommend, even when you know statistically, that's when it will happen. And why doctors make you choose, at the beginning, how many times you'll do it. Cause you start thinking, "oh, just one more time. We've finally got the right conditions." I mean, we've got this down now. I think I ovulated this morning, and went in at 10:45 for the IUI. The catheter went in like butta. And the washed sperm count was 12 million which--gasp!--is actually normal. We've never gotten to normal; we've barely approached normal.

But we said when we started this that we were going to do it 3 times. And that was number 3. The doctors keep reminding me of this too (I saw three different ones this week, because it's a shared practice), wanting to know if we were ready to move to IVF. So it makes me feel like it's kinda hard to change my mind. Which I shouldn't anyway. Because this could go on forever.

Or, I could just get pregnant this month. That would be nice.
