Third times a charm??!!!

I don't even know where I left off, and no, I didn't go back and read my previous post from months ago. So, that said, I'll just give you the current run-down.

I have seriously slacked at writing on this blog. However, I have a great excuse this time. We moved, yet again. Making a grand total of 7 moves in 6 years. I think we should get some sort of lesbian moving award for that.

In March, I took a job with a company in Dallas. So we find ourselves yet again, back in the great state of Tejas. Andrea is beyond happy about this, and the kids have settled in nicely. It feels good to be getting back into a normal routine.

So the dust has settled down, and all the boxes have been put away. We thought we had better get back on the baby wagon again. Since, we have been trying unsuccessfully for months alone, and it's true. Neither my partner or I have sperm. There hasn't been an immaculate conception yet, and all of our efforts to reproduce have ended up with no results. So we thought, it best to go back to the professionals about the issue.  

I had an HSG test back in Feb, I believe it was. Just as I thought, everything was perfectly normal, but hey I just wanted to make sure, that if we spent a small fortune, that all the parts were working right. As it turns out I am a speciment of physical normal-ness.  Good to know, since mentally- I am unstable.

We decided to change sperm donors for our most recent attempt. This will be our 3rd donor I think?? Lost count I guess. Well, let's go back, donor 1: an actual gypsy violin player from California Cryobank, donor 2: a Biologist/football player, also CC, donor 3: is a writer/soccer enthusiast who is also Native American. Number three, you better have some good swimmers!!! I was also, unhappy to find out that CC has increased their rates, a .5-1ml vial will now cost $615 a pop. Insanity! That doesn't include shipping. Wonderful.



So IUI #2 looms before us. If you recall, we did an ICI at home once, just like all you hetero folks do- and we did an IUI at the doctor's office once.  We decided since we were spending a small fortune with every try, that we should probably up our odds as much as possible. So perhaps 3rd time will be a charm?

Here is to hoping!!!
