Everything went great today, as far as I know. If all of the medicine is working like its supposed to, I think we've had a pretty good round. Steve stayed with me the whole time today, which I am very thankful for. He has re-arranged his work schedule so he can be with me the whole time tomorrow as well. He actually switched with another salesman for a Saturday shift the morning of UT's home opener. That's true dedication! I'm not sure if that speaks more of his love for me or the current status of our football program. Probably a little bit of both!
Speaking of Steve, he truly stepped up to the plate today. (TMI WARNING!) When Mary walked into our room she said "this could be dangerous!" When Steve gave his first sample many moons ago, his count was 75 million, which, believe it or not, is average. Today it was 350 million!! Needless to say, he was quite proud of himself! Per his explanation, he was never a good "practice player." But he could lay it all on the line when game time rolled around. He had "played" this particular field before, so there wasn't as much pressure for the visiting team. So, you figure the odds. 350 million sperm looking for (hopefully) 4-5 matured eggs ..... we are praying that something will hit!
We go in for round 2 at 8:00 in the morning. I don't imagine it will be any different than it was today. Of course, we'll be looking to get all of our post-procedure instructions tomorrow. Then its the big waiting game, and as many prayers as I can get that I don't go completely crazy in the meantime. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your love, support and prayers. I know God hears each and every one!
Praying for zygotes now! ( with many thanks to Brandon for updating my fertility vocabulary!)
