Holy smokes...where should I begin?!
Our appointment yesterday went well...it was a crazy whirlwind that I didn't expect to walk out of there 2 hours later and have the process happen so fast! I am going to make it a little easier to follow by bullet pointing!!
*Arrive at our consultation to discuss our options for IVF. I can't believe it's been a year since I have last been in to their office. So in order to get things going full throttle (since I am on CD 18) he needed to do an ultrasound, bloodwork, and get things set up with our IVF nurse (information, meds ordered and all of the fun talk about lots and lots of shots)!!!
*He was concerned about the last time I had an HSG which was 2 1/2 years ago and also was cautious of the endometriosis findings from my laparoscopy, which were minimal Stage 1-2, but wanted to be 100% sure that it wasn't back in the form of fibroids or polyps. He called his Fetal Diagnostics Dr. friend to see if they could squeeze me in for a 3-D Pelvic Ultrasound. Got in this morning! YAY!! The tech performed the ultrasound and the doctor came in to review her findings. There was a small area on my uterus that looked like it could be endo; definitely not polyps or fibroids. he was confident this should not get in the way of pregnancy...let's hope he's right :)
*I received the call from my IVF nurse this afternoon with my bloodwork results. My progesterone was 10.1 which was a green light to begin taking Lupron on CD 21! She also informed me that my thyroid came back a little higher than they like, mine was 3.1 and they want to see it at 2.5, so I will begin taking thyroid medicine to help regulate it.
*Once I start my period at the end of the month I will then begin stimming and in for monitoring pretty much every other day!!
*Currently waiting for the nurse to email my fertility calender for the next month and a half...talk about checking your email every 2 seconds!!
We are so excited and grateful that we are finally opening a new chapter in our infertile lives!
