6/28/2017 0 Comments FET coming soon!I had my additional follow up appointment today. I have been SO nervous all week. On Monday, I was convinced I had ovulated. I was a total wreck yesterday. In addition to all of this stress my garage door is now broken. Because …when it rains …it pours. I was convinced that it was a bad omen for my appointment this morning.
I overslept my alarm this morning and was in desperate need for a shower. I rushed and showered, threw my hair in a ponytail, and ran out the door. I got to the doctor’s office and it was my favorite doctor doing the monitoring. He told me my lining was 7.6mm. I immediately made a sound of disapproval. He asked me what thickness CNY was looking for. When I told him it was 8mm, he measured my lining in a few places to get a better average. With the average, my measurement was only 7.5mm! UGH. I felt so horrible. At least I didn’t ovulate. Dr. Williams politely put his two cents in and said he would proceed with the transfer at that measurement. When the nurse was drawing my blood one of my two good veins was still bruised from last time. Then she blew my other vein. She examined both my arms looking for another vein. She decided to go through the back of my hand. She had to gouge me half to death to get the blood to start coming out. I paid my $372 for my visit and left. Normally, CNY calls me between 9 and 11. I waited and waited. I had my therapy appointment at 11. I did everything I could do kill time. I was worried they call during my therapy appointment. My therapist had me keep my phone on, but no call was received. When I left his office, I immediately sent a portal message to my CNY nurse to see what was going on. An hour later she told me they hadn’t received my results. UGH. I called my local clinic and they said they had sent them, but they would send again. An hour later CNY told me that they still hadn’t got my records. UGH. Meanwhile during all of this I was waiting for the people to come and fix my garage door. It turns out my garage door couldn’t be fixed today. I felt slightly scammed by the first group that came to look at it and had to call another place. I felt so frazzled calling the garage door people, checking my portal, and waiting for phone calls. Another hour passes and the nurse gave me a different fax number to use. Just before CNY closed I got the call I’d been waiting ALL DAY for. They were going to proceed with my transfer!!! Next week I am heading to my friend’s house on the fourth of July. I really hope traffic isn’t crazy. On the 5th we will ride up together and I’ll have my transfer on the 6th! It feels so surreal that this is happening. It feels like some sort of weird race against the odds. I have to beat the statistics. I am feeling extremely overwhelmed by all the medications. I’m currently taking six medications. Some twice a day, some once a day, and some three times a day. Saturday I’m adding in 2 more medications, Sunday I’ll add another medication, and then on Tuesday I’ll add in one more medication. I am so nervous about messing those up. I am so extremely overwhelmed by the thought of doing the PIO (progesterone in oil) shots by myself. I don’t know how I’m going to figure that out, but I need to ASAP. I’m so nervous. It really just doesn’t feel real. It’s so soon, but feels so far away. This whole process is so indescribably stressful and unreal. I feel like sometimes I have to remind myself this is my life and not some nightmare I’m trapped in. But I’m going to hold out hope. This absolutely has to work. “That’s the trouble with hope. It’s hard to resist.” –Doctor Who
