Thanks for your kind comments yesterday.  Sage was successful last night - yay!  Fern and I chatted around 11pm her time and she was getting frustrated because Sage’s partner (who was going to ‘help out’ with the sperm collection) was trying to finish work and do laundry and Sage was falling asleep on the couch.  It sounds like it was a disorganized and stressful environment and Fern was stressed and frustrated.  But as we were chatting Sage suddenly got up and he and his partner went to the third floor to get it on!  Woo!  We chatted on the phone while Fern waited and then Sage’s partner came down after a little while with sperm!  What a relief!  Not only that but it was a lot more sperm than Tuesday’s batch.

Since they did the insemination so late last night they didn’t do the third one this morning.  But I don’t think it matters that much since the inseminations would have only been about 7 hours apart.  I mean, I’m always for as much sperm as possible, but I think this timing should still be good with this one.  Fern is due to ovulate today or tomorrow we think but she lost her thermometer in the travels so we don’t know.  I’m trying not to worry about that…

Did anyone else hear the NPR piece about infertility and women waiting too long to have babies?  It aired yesterday.  I had a lot of problems with it - perhaps I’ll blog about that tomorrow.
