Your ovaries are like a.....

Fright Train. They take a while to get going but once they start they can really do some work.

That is what Dr. Kevin said to me this afternoon at my appointment. That was his way of making a little funny. Dr. Kevin is such a nerd, but for some reason I really LOVE him and trust him. Over the last 18 months we have really come to understand each other. Yes just like any relationship we have had our ups and downs. Like the third time I went to see him and I left the office only to get in the car to call Chris and cry. I thought he had the worst bedside manner of any doctor I had ever met. I just couldn't believe that his staff wasn't all warm and fuzzy when I walked in the door. But over time I have learned to love the staff at the Center for Assisted Reproduction or CAR as I call it. We have laughed when it took 7 tries to do a blood draw. We have cried together when we found out that I wasn't prego for the 4,5,6,7th time. Thanks to CAR I now know that I am highly allergic to hydo-codone, my blood type is O negative, I don't have HIV and neither does Chris. You know the important information. So on Saturday I will go back to CAR and have my Egg retrieval. I have 22 of these little babies ready to make great little embryos. Dr. Kevin is going to come in on Saturday just to do my egg retrieval. The nurses today told me that I am one of their favorite patients and they are all praying for me and Chris. So on Saturday Dr. Kevin , me, and bunch of nurses, and I guess Chris will hopefully make babies together. I guess Hillary Clinton was right when she said it takes Village!
