Thursday night we decided to do a practice. Let me tell you, I almost peed on poor Jenn. The whole thing was just too funny. B and K were even kind enough to send an “instructional” video. (It was rated G, don’t worry). I so wish I could post it here so you all could laugh with me, but since B said I wasn’t allowed to post it on FaceBook, I doubt she would appreciate if I posted it here.
Jenn on the other hand made her own video:
See, I’m not the only person who is odd in our household!
Last night was the actual thing. I felt the ovulation pains start around 4pm…they lasted until about 10pm last night. Insemination was at 6pm. Good timing??
Now a photo essay:
Box:
Tank in a box:
Taking the lid off the tank:
Pulling the cane out of the tank:
Frozen swimmers:
The Inseminator (that is the actual name, not one I made up):
Thawed swimmers:
The swimmers have been released. Two weeks from now my period should be here. I’m taking the “There is no way I could possibly be pregnant” train of thought this time. All negativity all the time. Poor Lyz doesn’t have a negative thinking bone in her body. Every time I talk to her on the phone she gets all flustered having to say negative things. She is only allowed to “think positive” when I’m not looking. I know she has her fingers crossed every time she says “Well it isn’t like it is going to work, so I don’t know what you are fussing over.” Poor Lyz.
Thank you B and K for your great video and your awesome support!
Thank you Lyz for your negativity (and your crossed fingers while you do it)!
Love you both!!!

Everything is crossed for you, chickie! You need to take my place, since the kidlet of mine will be here in 2 weeks or less!
Yep, you’re right. It’s not going to work. No way it could. Not at all. You had ovulation and sperm, and it’s not going to work. Sperm probably refused to look at a map, and had no idea where they were going.
(every finger crossed, toes crossed, legs crossed)
Shook! Go swimmers, go! Even though it won’t work. 😉
Not sure if you want encouragement or not, but best of luck!
One thing I can say for sure is I was always amazed at how heavy and cumbersome that giant tank was for just like half an inch of goods…
love the picture diary!
im gonna be optimistic for you – whether you like it or not! 😉 swim, boys, swim!
I know the negative trick too.. it worked for me once. And this time, I forgot to use it.
You’re right… it’s not going to work 😉
Well, I’m sure it didn’t work then (fingers soooooooooo crossed for you!!!!!!!!) I will be waiting with bated breath for every symptom update!!!!!
First of all – good luck and all that.
I *do* have questions. I’m not sure if you want to answer them. I’m not sure if you even want me to ask them. Maybe I’ll email you and you can decide if you (a) want to answer them at all; (b) want to answer them via email or (c) want to answer them via blog. And you don’t have to answer them at all. Seriously.
This is going to be tough, but I’ll jump on the negativity bandwagon as well.
No way it will work. Not at all. I mean, I’m not even thinking about it. Sort of.
Thinking of you. I have everything I can possibly cross crossed for you. (((hugs)))
negative smegative! it’s not really negative talk if she’s crossing her fingers. I’m holding out for puppies Octo Lez!!!!
