The deed is done

After getting over the first needle injection of Puregon, we finally did the IUI today. I know that it was not supposed to hurt but it was still uncomfortable. I wish my hubby would let me go to gym after the IUI, but I guess he doesn't want to take the risk.... and it's always easy to laze around :)

The day didn't start right as we were late for the sperm collection and couldn't find parking. We didn't know that we could park within the building if we get the nurse to give us the code for the parking area. Seriously, the nurse should have told us in advance that we could park inside. The whole thing made him hard to 'concentrate', iykwim. We know now that next time (yes, always be prepared for next time) we'd just do it at home and bring it to the clinic.

Then, off we went to have breakfast at Parramatta Westfield and settle our mailing fiasco with Bankwest. We have changed our address 3-4 times but each time the statements seemed to still go to the old address. Hopefully this time they'll get it right.

Our plan would be to try IUI 2 - 3 times and move to IVF with ICSI. By January 2009, since Medicare subsidy would be less, we would try TCM. Why not, it'd be interesting to try different procedures and see what works and what not. Now, we just need to budget for all these extra costs.

Personally, I couln't find any reason to be excited about conceiving yet. I am neutral about having baby or not having one, but pro-adoption. It will be fantastic if we could beat the odds, probably the same feeling of passing CFA exams knowing 50% of entrants would fail.
