we only need one

again my day was filled with needles at the acupuncturist and catheters full of sperm. 

again today i saw "signs" everywhere.  when i pulled in to the doctor's office yesterday, there was someone backing out of a parking space, as if it were just for me.  today, when i arrived someone was backing  out of THAT VERY SAME SPACE! i felt like the universe was telling me, "you belong here, this is where you are meant to be at this moment. welcome!"

today someone tried to make me question and doubt my positive attitude- the nurse doing the IUI.  she told me there were only 2.4 million guys today. she told me chances were slim, that there is already a call in letting the RE know the bad numbers, told me i should meet with him and see how to proceed if this doesn't work, maybe go right to IVF next time, she said.

and i was sad, for a moment...

but then i remembered, i made a decision to be positive and hopeful. and i changed my attitude back.  i told the sperm inside of me i was sorry for doubting them for a moment.  

after all, we only need one.

Shame on your nurse; her comment could've (& should've) been saved for another time, if it needed to be made at all.

FX that one of the swimmers reaches her target.

P.S. Thanks for your comments on my blog. I would like to respond to them via email, but your email address comes up as "noreply@blogger.com" ?

It's true - you only need one. And you're smart to not let anyone bring you down. Good good good good luck.

How rude, she could have waited until after your 2 week wait to tell you that. It's not like they can do anything about it now. Glad you are still thinking positive!

I'm so glad that you are able to stay upbeat despite your nurses comments! It's funny that some people feel the need to create doubt.

And you're right, you only need one...
