There's a whole lot I wanna write about - the lack of follicles, the RE's repeated use of the word "Yikes!", the crying and the frustration, the extra "duty" the husband had to do, the 13km therapeutic run and the big bottle of wine, and of course, the freakin' refund I'll be getting... but for now, I'd rather just be in the place I'm in... cuz for now, it's a fairly good place to be. Three years of this shit will do that to you - get you back to the good place faster...
Today's IUI went something like this...
[me] "Do you have the stats on his swimmers?"
[nurse] "Sure. 4/4 here, 91% here, 12 million here. As you can see, all numbers exceed our requirements so a very very good sample!"
[me] "Wow, you're a rockstar! High-five buddy!"
[him] "That's right baby! That's what *I'M* talkin' 'bout!"
[nurse] "I'm glad you two are so pleased!"
[me] "Well if we're throwin' a hail mary at it, knowing he didn't hand over a bunch of two-headed retards IS pleasing."
-------------
[him] "Oh, that's a light! That makes MUCH more sense!"
[nurse] "What did you THINK it was?"
[him] "Uh... a microphone?"
[me] "What did you think she was gonna do? Helllooooooo vagina??? while she's down there??"
[him] "Just cuz my swimmers are smart doesn't mean I am."
-------------
[me] "What in here do you think is worth $5500?
[him] "Huh?"
[me] "If they don't give us the partial refund we're supposed to get, I wanna make sure we get our money's worth here!"
[him] "You want to STEAL something?"
[me] "Yes."
[him] "Well there's always that microphone?"

I am glad to see your sense of humour is still intact.
But if he really thought it was a microphone, I am kind of scared to think about what could be happening in your bedroom. :)
I am soo glad that you still have the humour, even in our dark time, we too always had a laugh at the fertility clinic and who couldn't - there are men who pay to masturbate a few feet away from the coffee room and waiting area - talk about awkward - they come to someones work place to do their thing...
Despite everything you've been through with this cycle, you guys are still too funny. :) Thinking of you! ((HUGS))
My Hubby always managed to say the funniest things in the RE's office. Bless thier hearts . . . we are lucky to have them!
So, what did you take home?!?!
How frustrating, but you never know. I know a woman who got converted on her second IVF try and figured the cycle was doomed. She ended up getting pregnant on the IUI. You just never know. Might as well give up now, cuz I'm convinced that's the only way it really works (that was meant to be encouraging)! Just for the record, I really hated her.
I would have taken the gloves - they're good for deveining shrimp or stuffing a turkey.
Infertility is always good for a laugh.
The RE really said "Yikes?"
At least you manage to entertain yourselves during the interminable wait at the doctor's office. I'd like to come and have dinner with you guys sometime; it sounds like it would be very entertaining!
When you still have the gumption to be witty in the stirrups it seems like somehow everything really will be okay.
Keep it up!
You guys are too funny! I am with you on the stealing thing. Take the u/s machine and start doing them from home for a little extra spending money!
you two crack me up.
I wish I had that kind of quick wit. I admire that.
Bwahahahahah!
Helllooooooo Vagina!
Priceless.
(or at least worth 5,000 dollars)
You are right though....so overpriced. You'd better get your stinkin' refund.
You guys crack me up!
Here's toasting that IUI with a virtual bottle of red wine (since I'm not much of a wine drinker... more of a Whiskey Girl, lol)
At least you can still crack the odd joke. Where would we be without humour? After all, it's all funny as HELL, isn't it?
Best of luck with the IUI...stranger things have happened!
Giantspeedbump
I really hope this IUI works. I'm glad you 2 are still keeping your sense of humour. You are stronger than you know.
I want you two around during my next crisis. I'll supply the wine.
I have to know. Did the nurse even crack a smile?
