i went in for another ultrasound this morning and the doctor says the hormones are definitely working, because my follicles are growing at a steady pace and i've got a bunch of 'em nearly ready to go. she actually thought from the look of them that i might be ready for insemination as soon as tomorrow, but said the bloodwork would let us know for sure. i had to call them this afternoon for those results, and the nurse told me that i still have a couple of days to go. i have to go back on wednesday morning for another ultrasound and check-in, and at that point they should know exactly when our go-day is. maybe thursday or friday. until then, i'm to continue with the medicines as directed. the injections are going fine, but that metformin is killing my stomach. i'm still only taking one a day and it's miserable. i asked the nurse this morning what i should do, and she said just to continue taking one. she said it would be great if i could get up to two, but one is better than nothing. so for now... that'll be the deal.
they gave me a consent form to sign and a cup for the hubby's "specimen" today and explained to me how that will work when the time comes. for some reason i assumed that he'd come into the office with me and do his business there. i guess it makes sense to do it at home, but the idea that i could just bring his spermies in with me and he wouldn't even be present for the insemination seems so weird. i guess i can drag him along with me anyway. i kinda feel like this is a marathon that i'm running and that he will just jump up from the sidelines and run through the tape with me at the end. i suppose that's just the way it is, but i can't help but feeling a little bit resentful.
