Love Egg: Make Babies
Well here we go:
Got to the clinic at 7:45, had to go into the men's room so that Trevor could give me my suprefact injection. Where are the family bathrooms?
Blood work: had an intern who couldn't find a good vein so they used a butterfly, not sure what that is but it didn't hurt. Just a quick tip nurse said to always drink water before blood work. Good to know.
Ultrasound: Dr. Greene walked in and said "big day, we need lots of eggs"..... So...... I guess my body doesn't like to produce eggs. We have 3 good size on te left side and 1 baby size egg and another even smaller. They need the baby egg to grow up! And hopefully the other egg does the same, but it doesn't look promising.
Thoughts: Trevor and I have done everyhing we could, so we are going to proceed this time and hope for at least one embryo. One is always better than none.
Next steps:
More Gonal: we picked up another pen, cost of $445.00, this will last us until Friday.
Friday: we have an ultra sound to see if these eggs will grow, then will know what will happen next after that.
Sign: we signed our life away and the nurse thinks we may need to pay for ICSI, where they put the sperm and egg together. Cost $1,500.00 extra. Man we love to do things the hard way.
8:45: we met with the psychologist, she was awesome. She asked us to think about
1. What will happen if this doesn't work?
2. Will I return to work or take time off?
3. If we want to do IcSI
She talked to us about what would happen next, staying supported by friends and family, she was a patient and now has twins. I was worried about the retrieval and she said the HSG hurt worse. Lol!
So Trevor and I are staying healthy, resting and praying that the eggs grow. We will keep you posted Friday.
