The Challenges Continue

When we decided to start charting 6 months ahead of our planned insemination adventure, I honestly thought it would be sort of superfluous, that everything would fall into place and I'd just have those 6 months for show, a way to pinpoint exactly when we should head to the city for the Sperm Bank Withdrawl.

But no. It's month 2 and thanks to a fever last month and god knows what this month, we still don't know when I ovulated, or if I even did at all. I'm trying not to let the stress get to me but when there's all this money (not covered by insurance) riding on how closely we can time this, well, you'd be stressed out, too.

I think the magic egg prediction machine hates me. It refuses to acknowledge my eggs. They are there, I swear! For that kind of money, it should find them, damnit!

In other news, the sperm bank has raised their prices by $60 per vial. Consider each IUI cycle uses 4 vials, that's a lot of change. Great.
