Hey, look! Special notices

Hey Brookelyn510! I have enjoyed reading your blogs & others. I am in similar situation.

Me-32 No known problems
DH- Low count, low everything really, diagnosed w/ varicocele. Surgery to correct (found five!) April 9, 2008
We have been TTC since 05, but have been agressively trying for 2yrs. At first we thought we were timing it poorly, so I started using OPK's & continued trying. NOTHING

So I put together a conception kit w/ OPK's, collection cup & a cervical cap. NOTHING. We heard about Fertell, the at home fertility test $80.00, the first test was no good, they shipped a new one. My test was good, my husbands showed abnormal sperm parameters.

DH went to urologist & they found a varicocele. DH was put on Clomid for about 6 months, and we began seeing our RE. I began clomid and we began IUI's.

IUI#1 BFN
IUI #2 BFN
RE did sperm assay and results were poor.
IUI #3 BFN

So we decided the varicocele was our problem, and DH had varicocelectomy April 9, 2008, they found 5! Well just today:

IUI#4 We are encouraged because DH's sperm was 17 million prewash, & 7.2 million washed. So the
2WW begins. I hope this will be THE ONE for you, too.

This week has really sucked. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to be alive, but this week, wow. First, I try to go to my classroom, but the custodian & his friends hung out watching cable in my room, but noone bothered to wax & get me ready for the kids 1st day. I had to put on a sweet smile, and he agreed to wax, if I would remove everything from the room myself, which I did. Then I decide for nostalgic fun, my girlfriend & I slip off to White Waters Theme Park in Atl for a little fun, sans her kids. Well, it didn't just rain, it monsoon poured, we paid for gas (wow), parking, food, locker, and didn't even get to ride a kiddie slide, didn't even get wet, except for the rain soaking. After returning home I attempted to contact the shipper of my car I bought on ebay, oh, what seems like a millenium ago, to see if they had a truck assigned for my car, but alas, NO, and it just seems I have really picked the wrong company. Then the icing on my pit party cake happened today. I ran our 28th annual Woodstock 5K, it was a pretty fun time, great turnout, bands, food, prizes, etc. When I left this morning for the Woodstock race, God whispered in my ear to put my beautiful cat Ray inside, but I was late & didn't listen. Then I returned from the race & their was the message again, look for Ray, didn't look, went inside & took a nap. Then at 4pm our neighbor came to tell me Ray was dead in her yard. I buried him out back. I feel so guilty & sad, we had Ray for nearly 5 years, and unfortunately 5 years seems to be an unlucky number for cats in our lives. I know this has nothing to do w/ TTC, but he was one of the fur babies God has intrusted to me, on my journey. I feel like I suck, & I failed.
