I am furious right now. I am so angry at DH that I can't even stand the sight or sound of him. We are on our way to our IUI right now. I got in the shower to let him do his thing. He comes in AFTER collecting his specimen to tell me that they screwed up in lab and didn't put the pink liquid in the cup. After!!! Are you kidding me??? Why didn't he talk to me before?? We could have called the RE to ask. He could have waited to produce his sample in the office. I don't want to put my thoughts into words right now. It will only make me fly off the handlebars.
Someone tell me to calm down. Tell me that we didn't just fluck this up. Tell me that I'm overreacting over something that is not a big deal....
Update 1: The receptionist said it is fine. I will still be anxious until I see his numbers from the sperm wash. Thanks, ladies, for talking me down! I'd be at a loss without you!!
Update 2: Well, I guess I was just being a drama queen, lol. His numbers were more than double the last IUI. 41 million moving. I feel silly for being so mad before! We are on our way home. I'm cramping pretty significantly, so I'm going to lay down for a while. I named my two eggs Ziggy and Zaggy... So today's chant is "Zigzag, Ziggy and Zaggy!!" I hope one of the 41mil makes it to the target!!!

I know! Last time, I had 3 targets for his 18 million moving sperm... how is it possible with those odds that it didn't work?! Oh, the joys of unexplained infertility (and infertility in general)... (/sarcasm)
Thanks everyone for the well wishes and good vibes
I'm feeling much better today as most of the O pains have subsided. Now I'm just hoping there are two little zygotes in there doing their divide thing!
Haha reading the whole thing through with the 2 updates was funny
Come on Ziggy & Zaggy!
Haha, in hindsight, it was a funny day
If you want another laugh, check out my blog from yesterday. DH touched the vag cam!! He was wandering around the room after the IUI as I was laying on the table, and he reached out before I could stop him!!
