So when today hit, I kinda. . . .wanted to throw myself under the train.
. . . . . . . . . .
This morning, we left for a very welcome WEEKEND (insert angel music) visit to the RE. It was the second u/s and blood work test--the first since going on stims (Gonal-F).
When we arrived just after 9 am, we were promptly taken back right away. The first time this as happened, might I add. When the nurse told me to come back, I looked around and actually asked, "Me?"
It wasn't worth rehashing what happened two days ago. So I didn't ramble on when she said they now have all the clearance needed. She took my blood and then sent me in for another ultrasound with the foreign lady.
She is an interesting woman. The first time we met, she went on and on about what a "beautiful uterus" I have. But every time we've met since then, she's been crabby as Hell. DH and I think she must never want to be there.
Anyhow, she did the ultrasound and seemed to roll her eyes as I asked for another print out of my ovaries (this time the left one, see: below).
But what do I care? I feel like we've paid BIG BUCKS for this. So if I want 20 photos a day, I've paid for it.
And then. . .we were done. In and out in twenty minutes. Yet it takes us over two hours to drive there and back. It did feel weird to leave without having to stop at the little payment window. Well, at least it did until we realized we had already paid last visit. I think that amount should cover us for a while. :)
On the way home, I did the mortal sin. Although I stayed vegetarian, I ate breakfast with DH at McDonalds: "The death bin". I have many issues with the animal practices at most fast food restaurants. But we were very hungry and a long way from home. I did enjoy a "Cheese and Egg McGriddle" with greasy hash browns and an OJ. Felt a little sick-- that's what I get.
Once home I anxiously awaited the results of the blood work.
Around 1pm, the RE's office called.
I was expecting, "All good, see you on Tuesday."
I got, "You need to come in every day this week."
WHAT?!?!?
Apparently, I'm "responding too well" to the stims.
What the Hell.
I have a new teaching job, in a new district, which is enough on it's own. Now I need to miss a week? Before I miss for the ER and ET? BAH!
My estrogen levels were at 424. They should be between 150-300. I don't want to get overstimulated and 'kick the bucket' so I know I have to go to these appointments each day.
I am just so sick of everything going wrong over the last few days.
I'm nervous that I'll develop OHSS or have to cancel this cycle.
Hopefully, it's just another bump along this screwed up road of infertility. Next stop? I'm only getting off in "babyland" :)
Tomorrow: Another RE u/s and blood work scheduled. . . Just like the rest of this week. . .
