Today was all about Chris! And he didn't like it. When we did our last round of IVF at the University of Utah, we were so positive that it was going to work, that we destroyed all of Chris's sperm they have retrieved. When we decided to get this process going again, I felt terrible. We both knew they would have to someone get the sperm out of Chris once again. Luckily enough, we were referred to a Uriologist doc, named Dr Hotaling, who is phenomenal! He was able to use a syringe to extract the sperm from Chris. The procedure took about 5-10 minutes and went great. They got 4 frozen viles of sperm!
Here is Chris when we first got there. He was pacing the room.
Chris was more nervous about the anesthesia then he was about the procedure. The Utah Fertility Center has an amazing anesthesiologist that had Chris happy and asleep.
In recovery after the procedure. Dr Hotaling said that everything went smoothly.
While Chris was in recovery, I had another ultrasound and another blood draw. My follicles are stilling growing at a great rate and we are getting closer everyday. Hopefully one more day of shots and we will be good for harvesting!
Since we have been keeping our process very hush hush this time, I wanted to get us both something to have the day or our procedures, so I ordered Chris these socks and they were a huge hit! The doc, anestheologist and the nurse loved them. They even asked to take pictures with them.
