Important Cargo

This morning I said goodbye to my Mom who was in Columbus vising Cole for his 1st birthday and then went to the Columbus Sperm Bank to pick up some important cargo. Prior to Dan's chemotherapy in January he went to the sperm bank three times to give us a shot at making a family the not so old fashioned way. This large cargo container holds inside a liquid nitrogen dewar which then holds inside it the 15 little vials of frozen sperm. The IVF clinic figures we will need 2-3 vials per attempt depending on how well they thaw and what the quality of them is after the thawing process.

This afternoon I will deliver the sperm to my IVF Clinic and go in for my ultrasound and bloodwork. I have been on birth control pills for exactly two weeks now with one week to go. If my ultrasound is good, no cysts, I can start the Lupron injections on Thursday.
