My Magical Moment

So, I had the post-coital test. It was much like a pap smear, but I did experience much more cramping immediately and hours after. First, the doctor took a sample of my cervical mucus and placed it under a microscope as I watched on a tiny monitor. The little swimmers looked exactly as depicted in illustrations- big heads and long tails. There was one difference that I did not expect- their heads glowed! It was sort of magical for me. All I could think was that one of the little guys (the ones still inside me) could be one half of our future little one. As I was oohing and ahhing over this, Dr. S suggested I peer into the microscope and whoa! There seemed to be millions of little spermies swimming around. I’ll admit this made my skin crawl a bit. I mean, I was the child who was grossed out by a bowl of oatmeal because it seem to be moving and don’t get me started on ant mounds. Ew! After the test, the doctor decided that we  probably should not try IUI for fear of multiples, but instead we should BD at home. I left feeling pretty darn hopeful. We followed instructions, and I’m officially in my TWW. Hoping it ends as magically as it began.
