Curveballs and Searching for Opal


After a couple of days to reflect, pray and nestle into the cocoon of supportive blogger and in-real-life friends and family, I'm ready to get back on the saddle.

Thank you to everyone who followed my blog, text messaged, called, and emailed. I can't tell you what it meant to feel surrounded by so much love during this time of great disappointment.

On Wednesday I felt like someone had snatched tickets to the World Series out of my hand and replaced them with admittance to a minor league baseball game. I was deeply moved this week by an e-mail message from a good friend of mine: Even curveballs produce homeruns, you know.

So today, we head two hours north for an IUI tomorrow morning.

Final numbers:
E2=712
3 (measurable) follicles (20, 20, 16.5)
Trigger shot last night.

Praying for the best and a little Opal Optimism in lieu of my good friend Debbie D.

I don't know what the numbers mean, but wishing you all the best tomorrow.

Thanks for telling me about your friend. That gives me a little encouragement for this last cycle.

I hope you don't feel too bummed about tomorrow, you have three follicles, which increases your odds.

Good luck, I'll be thinking about you tomorrow!
