So? How'd it go? Did you push the plunger?? Inquiring minds want to know!

yeah we want to know.  I know you have a bb so get on it lady.  We need some news!

We know you're back (you posted on TB)...so come on....how was it??

ctbride08

lol - you guys are funny! i can't bb and drive at the same time

We had some ups and downs.  The down being that it ended up being an ICI not IUI....apparently the paperwork that came w/ the sperm didnt specifically indicate if it was washed or unwashed and the midwives wanted documentation of washed before they would do an IUI (which makes sense). Unfortunately, due to the time difference, the bank was closed during our appointment, thus we couldnt get them to fax any documentation. The irony of all ironies is that when we got home - just now - the ONLY thing in our mailbox was a reciept from midwest that CLEARLY specified that they were washed samples. we had to chuckle at that.

despite the last minute switch the ICI, it was a fantastic experience. So sweet and exciting!!  It was almost overwhelming in a very happy way.  I love that the midwives are warm and patient - everything was just so special

And yes - I pushed the plunger!!!

Oh good!  I'm so glad it was a good experience for both you and A. :-)

Well aside from the minor hiccup, I'm glad to hear it was a good experience!  I'm crossing my fingers!!

our first insem was almost an ici because the midwife had trouble getting through the cervix. They know what to do and if the cervix was open then you should be good to go!  Crossing fingers for you guys!

ctbride - I am glad it went well, even though a change of plans.  This is probably hindsight now AND I think the washed status in in the paper work of the shipper and on their website.  Regardless....sending you good vibes for baby from the other couple using midwest (simultaneously no less!)

yeah, for some reason our paperwork didnt contain it...or at least not by the time of our appointment. and they wouldn't take the website (they wanted to confirm that those exact vials had been washed, kwim?).

honestly? i'm completely over it, and feeling realistically hopeful

So glad to hear it went well, even with the small hiccup. Who knows, maybe that was exactly how it was meant to be for you two.

I will have to let Sylvia know you pushed the plunger. I told her this morning that there had been some discussion about that on the Wednesday post yesterday, and she immediately stopped what she was doing to get online and encourage you to do it. It was precious to see how much she already cares about you, having just recently "met" you!
