Question: Mommy, how are babies made?Answer: Well, one day mommy goes to the doctor. It’s only day 13 of her cycle and she has never triggered before day 17. She makes bets with daddy about how big her follicles will be, deciding on one 12, one 13.
Mommy lies down in a dark room with a nice woman who looks inside her at her right ovary. There aren’t many baby seeds in there, and what’s there are very small. The biggest is 12mm, just exactly like mommy thought.
But then. THEN! The nice lady looks at mommy’s left ovary and we are all so excited! There are two beautiful baby seeds on that side! One just over 18 mm and one at 21! Mommy, daddy, the nice woman at the ultrasound machine, and Dr. Lovely are all pleasantly surprised that the baby seeds grew so fast.
It’s time for mommy to get a little shot. Usually, the nurse gives this shot there at the doctor’s office, but mommy is a slacker and hasn’t even picked up the shot from the pharmacy yet (because seriously, she thought she had at least three more days before she needed it).
So mommy and daddy go to Meijer to get the baby-making juice. They both have to go back to work, and mommy doesn’t want to do the baby-making juice shot in the car. So mommy and daddy walk into the Meijer family bathroom together, and get some weird looks from the Meijer staff sitting having a soda break.
They probably knew that mommy and daddy were going in there to try to make a baby, but they probably couldn’t guess the specifics.
Daddy gives mommy the baby making shot that makes her break out in big ugly pimples.

That’s right…IUI #2 is scheduled for 4 pm tomorrow. A good 4-5 days earlier than I thought it would be. I guess that’s good. Apparently my left ovary is in overachiever mode this time around. I’m still not excited but the bitch cloud that has been following me around for the past two days has lifted. Thankfully.

PS - I love this story idea... very cute.
GL on this cycle:
A few years ago, I wrote a birds and the bees post. This is what I wrote:
When my kid asks how babies are born, I'll tell them the story... When a man and a woman love each other very much, they go to a banker to get a loan. Then they go see their doctor who has to refer them to a specialist, a reproductive endocrinologist. The baby doctor makes both of them go through many many tests and gives few to no answers. Then the man goes into a room by himself and thinks about the woman a whole lot. Two hours later, the woman gets pregnant in an immaculate conception. That's how you were conceived...
Oh how exciting! Good luck with the IUI!!!
My hubs and I had a similar conversation while waiting for my FET to start in the doc's office. He asked "what are we going to tell our kids?" I told him, "The truth. When a mommy and daddy love each other very much, they decide to make a baby. They spend a whole lot of money, go through a whole lot of pain, hire a doc to make a baby, freeze the baby for awhile, defrost it and hope the baby keeps growing!" It actually is a lot less gross than sex...
love lefty. good luck... !!!
Thinking of you tomorrow! So glad for good follies!
I love it. What a great little story. Good luck with your IUI.
