So today was the RE consultation....or was supposed to be. It ended up being just blood work and ultrasound for me and blood work for hubby. We didn't end up seeing the doc. Well, technically he came in for a whole minute and said something about 4 + 4 (I have no idea what that means) and then to increase my meds. Yay...
Not.
300 units of Menopur and 300 units of Follitism EVERY DAY. For 9-12 days! I am going to be a crazy biatch!
But the good news....
I got my $50 copay back. WAHOO.
And there were no cysts. YAY!
Everything looks good for a Saturday start as planned. I should get more info tomorrow around 3pm and go from there. I am freaking out a little because I feel like there were some questions I should have asked. I am hoping that I can still ask the nurses and save the $. :)
I don't know if there is a window of time that you can be "late" or "early" with doing your meds. Can you do it 7am and 7pm one day and then 8am and 8pm the next day?
I feel like my schedule is stressing me out! Oh wait...that's because it is!
There once was a time that I found more humor in this situation but I haven't been finding anything really funny yet.
Who knows? Maybe once I start these lovely shots of crazy juice there will be something funny. Probably not.
Don't hold your breath, in other words.
:)
I am trying to be optimistic but this feels like just the beginning of a long, long process. But I am trying to gain the strength to seize this opportunity and do the best I can to make it work.
That's another thing I forgot to ask...I didn't get a list of "dos" and "don'ts" for during the IVF process.
Hmm...
If anyone can help me out with those, that would save me a call to my doc. :) If not, that's okay too. I can hound the nurses. :) At least some of them joke around with me and won't mind the millions of questions I undoubtedly will have.
Oh and I get MORE meds on Friday. Yeah...MORE. Refer to my pic a few blogs ago as to how much it looks like. EEK.
I will probably start blogging more with my adventures of needle poking and medicine taking. We'll see. :)
Also, I guess I am going to come clean to my new job. Looks like my timeline for IVF does actually interfere with working full time. Either I wait to come in full time or they have to deal with me having to be gone for a day with only a day or less warning.
I am REALLY worried they will "fire" me or something....This is a huge source of stress for me right now. UGH.
Anyways, I have a date with my DVR. Nkotb and BSB performed on DWTS and of course Glee was on... PLUS Pregnant in Heels, and 16 and Pregnant. SOME OF MY FAVES.
Not DWTS...I just want to see my boys sing! :)
Anyways, enough rambling for now...I hear 9 hot men calling my name....HEHE That might make for a GOOD dream tonight. *wink*
I really want to say stop stressing, but that would be the pot calling the kettle black.
ReplyDeleteGood news with the go ahead from the doc. BOO about the increase in meds. HOLY CRAP! That's a lot of menopur....be warned it does burn a little when going in.
About your window: they told me to do my meds 6-9PM every night. I just kind of stuck with 8 because it worked. When I started my morning and night meds, the 8 thing worked best because that's when I get home from work in the morning.
I'll email you the info my RE gave to me when I started my treatment cycle. If I had a scanner I'd just scan it in, but I'm a little behind in the times.
Keep your eye on the prize. I swear it will be done and over with before you know it and you'll be in your 2WW, which will be the longest 2WW you've ever endured. I SWEAR IT!
Take care of you honey!
Thanks hun! I will need all the help I can get. :)
ReplyDeleteI gotta run so I may have more ?s for you later. :)
And yes, HOLY crap. I hope they decrease that after a few days....
