So much has happened since my last post! We met with the new RE team at the new clinic. We passed our mock transfer with flying colors--his exact words were, "You have a textbook uterus! No, really, I'd like to take your film and use it to teach at the college, if that's ok with you!" Well then! At least something is working correctly in my body! Teach away with my beautiful uterus film. All of my hormone levels from Cycle Day 3 all came back normal as well.
And for my 30th birthday, I received $683 worth of meds in a huge box! Progesterone in Oil with the HUGE needles, Lupron 14 day kit, Crinone gel applicators, Ovidrel, tons of syringes and other needles, alcohol swabs, Darvocet, Estrace, and an antibiotic. Awesome! My counter looks like a smalltown pharmacy and I still haven't gotten my Bravelle and Menopur yet from the doctor's office. Yay for my insurance paying for the Lupron, Darvocet, Estrace, and the antibiotic. Boo for not covering any of the expensive items (except the Lupron).
We really are moving forward! My husband and I attended the 2.5 hour injection teaching class a few weeks ago. There was another couple, and two women without their significant others. All in all, a diverse group. Keeping track of everything and how to mix meds is quite a challenge but fortunately the clinic gave us a big binder and I'm still pretty good at note taking. What they didn't mention beforehand was that we would be doing a practice shot that day! Probably a good thing, as I would have freaked out the entire class had I known. I give DH a lot of credit though as he did a good job getting the right spot on my left cheek with not as much pain as I was expecting. I then gave myself a practice one in the stomach, but not until I faked myself out once. How ridiculous! This isn't basketball! No fake moves to the hoop, just shoot!
In my quest to keep the next few weeks as stress-free as possible, I am getting a pedicure tonight with a very pregnant friend, signing up for yoga classes, and making appointments for massages and facials in the coming weeks. I WILL be relaxed and calm through it all!
I am taking comfort in knowing that my first injection of Lupron will happen on Sunday morning, Mother's Day 2010. Hopefully that's a sign!!! God is great!
