Yesterday, Saturday was my 4th Dr. Visit. Because it was a weekend I got to meet another dr. on call. His name is Dr. Hesla. World renowned for his work with infertility. This guy has a waiting list over a year long to be his patient. I was honored to meet him... but his bedside manor was lacking... Perhaps it was what he told me that upset me. My follicles are growing great, the biggest one was at a 16.. and I have about 16 on each side.. thats 32 total! My blood work came back at 1990!! (Normal highest peak levels of estrogen in a woman's cycle is around 500) They told me to lower my follistem dose to 50 and keep everything else the same. I was told at the dr. office to go get another vial of menopure. $80 dollars later I'm home and I get a call from ORM with my blood work and they say don't take that vial, just bring it in to my appointment on Monday. They may instruct me on the trigger shot then and I might not need it. Nice.
I told Dr. Hesla that I was ready to not be so bloated (gained some weight, can't fit in pants, super uncomfortable bending etc) He told me that the bloating wont go away.... WHAT?! Apparently even after they take all the fluid and eggs it doesn't go down, and then even during the 2 week wait the meds will keep that from happening... He then said the bloating will (obviously) continue once I'm pregnant.. but if I don't get pregnant, it will be about a week for my body to go back to normal.... Lovely. I cried a bit.. I've been mourning my body and the loss of it's normalcy. I had to go to walmart and pick up some extra large pants.. I had to get a size I have never bought before.. I'm the biggest I've ever been, I don't care that it's water retention and growing ovaries. (Can you tell I'm an emotional crazy person?).. Okay.. done venting. ... I am super happy that everything is moving smoothly. Looking forward to Monday.
