- baselines appointments that include a plethora of blood tests and trans-vaginal ultrasounds [it is a fact now that more physicians have seen my vagina than any other person...oh and trans-vaginal ultrasounds are a procedure where they insert a long probe into your vagina to see all your reproductive organs in much better view than standard U/S] at 7:00 a.m.
- blood tests that nearly knocked me (Laz) out [2-hr blood glucose challenges are not fun & potentially deadly! apparently, my sugar drops instead of spikes]
- a therapy counseling session; taken a month+ worth of estrogen and progesterone (Laz)
- are taking about 8 natural supplements & 2 herbal teas; had a medication instruction class
- signed countless documents [did you know that fertility clinics ask what your intention is with any eggs stored in case of death of you, your partner or both? crazy, right!?!]
- searched/gawked over/purchased sperm
- purchased 11 fertility meds (Laz & Sujey) that will help with Sujey's egg retrival & assist with prepping my lining for transfer
- have preemptively started taking pre-natal yoga [yes, I already mentioned i was crazy! Don't judge me...] waited on countless phone calls
- have become frustrated at the length of this process
- and, are FINALLY ready for cycle #1.
Next off; "Cocktails, please!" Happy New Year to us, indeed!
