Today was our pre-start visit with our doctor. The visit consisted of an overview and instructions on the medications, how to administer them, consent forms, financial information, as well as a uterine evaluation and hysterscopy. Our medications were ordered and should arrive within a few days.
The hysterscopy and uterine evaluation were to make sure the uterus was in good/healthy condition. Thank the good Lord, all is well with mine and we are set to go.
The amount of medication and the complexity of the administration of it is quite overwhelming, but, they gave us lots of great notes and a nifty calendar to help keep track of it all. I have included a pic of the calendar as well as a lovely pic of us waiting in the room for my hysterscopy. I also included a pic of the super cool camera they used to look inside my uterus. I was actually able to see my entire uterus as well as the openings to both of my Fallopian tubes. Pretty cool!
My next visit is Tuesday the 10th. We will have my baseline sonogram done and a blood test to measure my estrogen level. The sono and blood work are to make sure all is quiet with my body, and if so, we will begin taking our medications two days later!
I'll then be monitored about every other day until the eggs are "ready" to be retrieved. After retrieval, they'll be released back into my uterus and we will pray for a keeper!!
Until then, please keep praying that everything stays on track, and the Lord keeps us safe and healthy throughout. Any little hiccup can cause back ups, and back ups mean extra money, time, and effort. So pray pray pray for us during this time!
I'll post again on Tuesday!! See YA soon!
