IVF

Our appointment went well this morning.  I still feel very much in the dark, but the following weeks will shed more light about our IVF cycle.

"The Wand"

They had to do a vaginal ultrasound to check for cysts.  I do have a 2 cm cyst on one of my ovaries, but Casey seemed to think it would be alright.  Let me tell you that vaginal ultrasounds are no fun!  (I've mentioned my issues with pelvic pain before.)  They also did bloodwork and I should hear back this afternoon if all of my levels are ok.  The plan is to start BCP this evening to begin suppression therapy.

It was FREE!  Thanks, ART!!

We have another appointment scheduled next week with Dr. Allemand to go over my IVF Checklist (Appointment:  4-18-12 @ 10am).  We are set to meet with the IVF Coordinator the following week (Appointment:  4-23-12 @ 9am).  They told me that they would move up my appointment with the IVF Coordinator (Janet) if needed.  I'm secretly hoping that I can sneak in and meet with her next week at my appointment with Dr. Allemand.  On Mondays, only Paul and myself are at the store, so I may try and see what can be done to change that particular time.

I'm both excited and nervous for this journey to begin.  I will continue to post updates as I know more!

Happy Friday

Yay for Fridays!  I just finished my second GIA assessment and scored perfectly.  =)  Only 5 more assignments to go!

Still getting good news about my SIL.....I will be so excited when I feel it's appropriate to talk more about that!

It's been nice to not stress about my temp each day or analyze all of the symptoms that I'm feeling.  I feel like some women on FF go crazy looking at the way they feel each day.  Hopefully I'll never have to temp again!  There's no use right now being on BCP.  After my surgery I'll be "resting" so there's no need then either.  Once I'm back on Femara, I'll be monitored weekly so again, no need for my thermometer.  Liberation from the BBT makes me feel like a new woman!! =)
