This is the full syringe. Yep all .3 ml of baby juice there.
The tools for the procedure. Thermometer for temperature charting, vial of sperm from donor 322A and the syringe for transfer from vial to body.
Taking the vial out of the dewar.
With all the frozen liquid nitrogen you have to wear gloves to pull out the vials otherwise you risk frostbite.Done. First insemination is over. A few things I didn't expect. First, there is very little of the stuff in the vial. Only about 0.3 ml. Not much at all. Second, it is easier to use the syringe without the catheter than with the catheter for the actual insemination.
So now, it is all about the wait. It will be about 2 weeks until I can officially test to see if this insemination worked. To be honest, I doubt that any pregnancy will happen from this cycle, but a little bit of hope never hurt. I've decided not to worry to much about this or it will be a very long couple of weeks wait.
There you go. Not much else to say for now.
