CD 14: Another RE Appointment

Well, today was an interesting appointment. Monitoring wise, everything looks great, and I should ovulate any day now. (Yay!) What made it a little strange, though, was toward the end of the appointment my RE mentioned that my last visit to my lady doctor was last January... so... he went ahead and did a pap smear right then and there! Uhm, definitely wasn't prepared for that one! At least it's done and out of the way, though. And that's one less co-pay out of my pocket!

I also found out that J apparently has super sperm. I don't really remember all of the numbers, honestly. I think my RE said he had 194 million total count and 76% motility... something like that. He even went so far as to say that his counts were so good he would be a great candidate for a sperm donor. Uh, great, so maybe he can knock someone else up since it isn't working out so well with me? I don't think so. That's not at all what my RE was trying to say, but my mind definitely went there anyway. 

As for what's next, my RE wants me to do 6 successful rounds of clomid (successful in that I actually have a strong ovulation). He said that if I'm not pregnant after the 6 rounds, then I will likely have laparoscopic surgery... which I would really like to avoid. So, if this cycle doesn't work out, I will have 4 more cycles of clomid. I was thinking he would probably only want me to do one more and then move on to IUI, but I am kind of glad he isn't going that route, because I think our chances are actually pretty good to conceive naturally now that I am actually having strong ovulations and knowing how excellent J's sperm count is. In fact, today when we talked about my last cycle being a BFN, my RE said, "Well, not many people actually get pregnant their first time ovulating." That really made me change my mindset a bit and realize that last cycle was really our first true chance of getting pregnant. In a way, that makes me feel a bit better about everything. 

One last tidbit... on my way to the RE this morning, "Don't You Worry Child" came on the radio. I hadn't really ever paid attention to the lyrics before, but I did today and part of them seemed so fitting:

My Father said,

"Don't you worry, don't you worry, child.

See Heaven's got a plan for you.

Don't you worry, don't you worry now."

I really feel like that song came on the radio right at that moment just for me to hear those exact words. I can't wait to see God's plan for me.
