If you don't want to read about girl/baby stuff, don't read any further!
I went to see the OB/GYN today. Heard my blood results...I had like a ridiculously high level of progesterone in my body last month...which is very good news. It must have been a case of just not making contact between my one egg and Kendall's 17 million sperm. How stupid is that? 17 million and not one of them could find it's way to the egg? I totally imagine the Simpson's episode where they show the making of Lisa. The Homer sperm are bouncing off the walls going, "Doh!" That's what I imagine happened last month. It makes it easier to think about.
So Dr. Meanie had a plan. I'm going to try the Clomid for two more cycles. If we don't get pregnant within that time, Kendall has to go get tested again...which will only be funny because of his last experience in the office...poor Kendall.....
If his levels come back "low" then we have to do something involving a "wash" and a "turkey baster". LOL! Just kidding. But it is kinda like that. Everybody better pray we don't get to that point, because I really don't know how to tell my kid we had to baste him/her...my future children should not be treated like Thanksgiving dinner!
I'm tempted to do the whole "appeasing God" thing by going to get ashes on my forehead today...but I don't think God bargains....hmmm...maybe I'll go, just in case....

LOL! At least your sense of humor seems to be in the right way this time. I promise to never make fun of your kids if you have to get to the "basting" stage (which I am hoping that is NOT the case). Sprinkling this comment with loads of pregnancy fairy dust....
P.s. I totally laughed my butt off at that episode of the Simpsons.
That was a great episode...I shall now always view procreation in that light. Thanks, Lisa. :)
Dr. Meanie sounded like she was behaving this time.
Your doctor is wacko. I heard about basting - they read the directions for an at-home kit on the radio last week. It was specifically a service for single women/lesbians, so perhaps you'd get something more tactful, but the instructions were hilarious. there were items like "make sure you do not microwave the sperm, let them defrost naturally."
If it gets to that point i think we should have a party where we eat only basted foods. I say this in gest- i'm sure you'll be knocked up long before this is necessary. :)
Congrats on the high levels of progesterone, that's progress!
I will never cease to be amazed that it takes 17 million sperm to potentially fertilize one egg, and how often all 17 million of them are unsucessful!
I also enjoy the "do not microwave the sperm" comment....who comes up with this stuff!
Coming up with an entire party menu of only basted foods would be really hard - what kinds of dessert could you do? The only thing I can think of is fondue with little basters instead of the bigger dunking pot.
Just kidding...Lisa I'm pullin' for ya...
Thanks for all the comments. I really am trying to be positive about this since they say it "helps". If I don't laugh about it, I'll just cry..and trust me, I do enough of that already!
