Three crises, one resolved

It's only 10:30 and already there have been THREE crises today.

#1: Cell phone lost

I lost my cell phone this morning when I went into the city to meet with the nurse and anesthesologist about research. Couldn't find it AT ALL, and then my other phone was dying so I couldn't really give the SEPTA (commuter rail) office a number to call. I had to give Megan's. Luckily, I had just enough battery in the other phone to call my missing phone, and my school security office had it. Thank God. So that's the crisis that has been resolved.

#2: Megan is CMV negative

We SWORE we had done this test before and she was positive. We swore up one side and down the other that she was positive. The donor is positive. So now, when she went in for bloods on Sunday they drew a CMV because she hadn't been tested, and lo and behold, she's negative. Our Dr. doesn't like to do insems with CMV positive swimmers in CMV negative people. The swimmers have been shipped and are not returnable. SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT. So now we have to find a way to convince them to let us use it anyway. You know, how does a longtime childcare worker manage to NOT be CMV positive? She catches every darn thing the kids have and always has since she was little. Yet not CMV. Grrrrr. Anyway, I've read up a whole lot on the issue, and there's a teeny teeny tiny eensy weensy chance that she could contract CMV, but we've decided that if there's a form for us to sign to waive liability and say "we've been warned," we will. Now hopefully they will let us do that. SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT. Because we can't buy any more sperm. We're out of cashola. So we need to fix this or we're totally, completely screwed.

#3: The follicle situation is weird

So Megan now has 4 measurable, maturing follicles, but one that use to be on the left has vanished and she now has three on the right, one on the left, all between 14 and 16. There are lots of unmeasurable follies on her left. So anyway, the point is it's CD17 and she's clearly not ovulating yet. Again with the paranoia about the cycle getting cancelled. What the heck is UP with her body?

More to come later as we get this garbage sorted out.
