Where is everyone today?

Styltryn, many . I am praying that you were feeling implantation. I know what you mean about finding the less stressful job - I took this position because it will look good on my cv. I figured (okay, yes this was a bit naive) that I'd be pregnant within a few months (I started the job only a few weeks before IUI#1), and go on mat leave and not come back, but have a nice little addition to my experience. Obviously it hasn't worked out that way. The problem is finding something less stressful that does not also come with less money! So we shall see...

Well, I got basically nothing done at work today through factors beyond my control. What should get done will simply not get done. I'm not to going to half-kill myself to try to meet impossible goals. Anyway... the reason I got nothing done was that when I got to work the power was out there and not expected to be back till the afternoon. I came back home and did what I could but there's not much I can do without access to the server at work. Then when the power came back up there, I could have run back and got half a day's work in, only I had my IUI in the middle of the afternoon - I would only have been there an hour! So no point really. I've gotten as much done as I can from home, which is not much!

In other news, I had my IUI today. And donor #4 came through - 37 million sperm, 70% motility! Woohoo! Okay, okay, but I've never had that many of the little swimmers before! Please oh please let one of them meet up with one of my eggs and hit it off!

Oh, and while I was there I talked to the RE about next steps. He says that if this one doesn't work I can continue with IUIs with clomid, but he cannot in good conscience prescribe me any other drugs (i.e. no injectibles for me) as I would produce WAY too many follicles. As I suspected. If this one doesn't work, I may be IVF-bound. I really don't want to do that, so I am hoping my hardest that #10 will turn out to be perfect...
