Stellar Swimmers!

So, we got the SA tests back and the results are good!  I am glad to report that the little swimmers are stellar!  With good count, volume, motility, and morphology the hubs is good to go.  Of course, this is great news, as I was stressing about it all week.  Actually, I was stressing even more than normal, as this week is hubs' birthday and I didn't want any bad news to get in the way of a relaxing, joyful time with family and friends.

It is so funny where I find myself now--imagining what those healthy, miniscule sperm look like.  When I close my eyes, the knowledge I have gained today helps to create the most hopeful image I have had in a great while!  I have no idea what healthy sperm look like, I have no idea if this picture is of healthy sperm, or unhealthy sperm.  But, at this moment, I do think it is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.  How did I get here? --staring at pictures of sperm on the screen with a stupid smile on my face.  My mom cries at countless commercials, I cry at pictures of sperm!  Unbelievable!

At 11dpo with a usual 14 day lp, I will be able to start my own blood work early next week.  That is, unless I am pregnant (enter the relentless element of hope).  I don't expect to be so, but I do expect to be sore from needles come early next week!

It is so funny how I come to an internet site anyone in the world could read and share such intimate and even embarrassing details, but, so be it.  I feel like shouting this from the rooftops--something I of course, could never do.  But I can shout it out here to this wonderful community!  Thanks for listening!
