Okay so I haven't been very good about writing like I said I would, so I will try and do my best as we are getting closer to the procedure days. This last week I went in to see Stephanie at the Idaho Falls Office, while I was there she informed me that she would be gone this weekend and that I would have to go to the Pleasant Grove Office for monitoring. After talking with Justin we decided that we would just take the next 2 weeks off of work since we were getting closer to the procedure dates.
Seriously guys I don't think I have ever packed so much in my life, even when we went to Disney World and our Cruise I think that this trip was the most I had to pack for ever! I had 2 duffle bags, one for our clothes the other had all the bathroom things. You know like shampoo, hairspray that kind of stuff. In hind sight I should've left that all at home as I have my mom and sister I am staying with, too late! Then of course we had to bring the entire pharmacy along with us. So that was another cooler and a bag just of the meds, needles, and sharps containers. Oh and of course I couldn't leave without my sweet friends IVF survival kits they made me. You remember the post about my best friends sweet gift, well my sweet visiting teacher brought over a bag of "goodies" too,
Well before we left we got to have dinner with Justin's mom and dad and sister Melissa, lucky for us she brought sweet baby Claire too so I got to snuggle her before we headed to Utah. We got on the road last night (Friday) at 8:45 and arrived a little after 11 pm. I was so exhausted! It took me, my brother, my sister, Justin and my dad to unload our car, yeah I told you I had to bring everything with me. So glad my family is so sweet!
Around 11 am Saturday we got a call saying that Dr. Conway was pleased with our results and that we didn't need to come see her as scheduled on Sunday 6/12 so we got to take that day off! Yay! She also told us that we will begin our Ganirelix shot Sunday so now we have 3 shots. Scary! We will go back on Monday 6/13 to see where we are from there.
Here are the 3 shots we did Sunday morning, it really wasn't as bad as I thought.
Appointment 6/13/16-
As scheduled we headed to the Fertility clinic at 8:40 for our 8:45 appointment, we are so lucky that my parents live 2 minutes from the clinic instead of the 45 minutes it takes in Idaho to get up to Idaho Falls. We got there right on time and waited for about 5 minutes before going into our usual room #2. I joked today that that was our lucky number only because in the two times I've visited this office we always get that room. But I think she took me serious and said it must be a sign LOL. Well we had a new nurse check us today her name was Chelsea and she was also really friendly. I have been really impressed with how nice and caring everyone at this clinic is.
Well it was the same routine just the ultrasound and blood work, we talked about how the endometrioma is blocking so much of my left ovary that it's really hard to tell how big the follicles are measuring, Stephanie already had warned me that we may not get as many eggs on my left side but its still good to check how they are measuring. Chelsea didn't say where I was measuring at today as of Saturday the follicles were at 13 MM so hopefully we're getting closer to the 18 MM mark.
Brittney called from the office at around 4:30 pm and told us that we are still on track and that Dr. Conway wants us to continue on the medications and to come back tomorrow 6/14 for more blood work and another ultrasound. My fingers are crossed that we'll know more on egg retrieval day by tomorrow! But we're still in good spirits, my family and Justin's have been so supportive with calls and fun times together to keep my mind on other things instead of worrying. Well I will keep you all posted when I know more tomorrow, Until then! - The Almonds
