I'm pretty sure I wrote something between Tuesday and today, although what it was, I'm not sure.

Had mock transfer on Thursday, it was OK. My RE said we won't need to use the _____________ on my cervix, can't remember the word, although it's some kind of clamp. They didn't have to use it to get the catheter in my uterus, so they won't use it during the transfer. Dr. N. said they actually got a little smaller measurements this time, so maybe that'll help them put those embies in exactly the right place. Here's hoping! The practice has a new partner, and he actually did the procedure. I appreciated that they asked me if that was OK first. It was. I just don't want a crowd for anything like I had with my HSG last year. It's not attractive, and I was really in pain and didn't really enjoy having observers, even if they are going to be doctors. I need to ask before my retrieval this time if they can recommend anything to prevent me from getting sick from the anesthesia. I've only had it twice, once with my gall bladder surgery and the last time with the retrieval, and I threw up both times. I did have novocaine and gas when my wisdom teeth were removed, but I didn't get sick with that, just a little nauseous.

I met the new nephew yesterday, he's so cute. His big sister still really seems to like him. We'll see how that progresses! I imagine she'll be fine, I was about the same age (almost 3 1/2) when her mom was born, and I don't think I had any problems.

Hubby's out running around tending to work and hobby projects so I sent him to pick up a few items--toilet paper, Kleenex, and...condoms!! I noticed a new instruction on the big list from the Fertility Center--if the fallopian tubes are open, condoms must be used after starting Lupron injections. They didn't say that last time. I have one open tube, so do we use them every other time (wink)? I almost bought some at the grocery the other day, but I decided to let him choose. We've never used one before, didn't have any reason to. So now, in order to have a baby, I'm taking birth control pills, and as of Tuesday, we're using condoms. Wacky procedures.

I'm dying for some raw oysters. I don't really know why, I like them OK, but they're not necessarily tops on my list, although I do love sushi. Anyway, I've told hubby he has to take me somewhere for some, since I can't have them after I'm pregnant. Oysters tonight? I wouldn't mind the legendary aftereffects, either!
