Today was my suppression check appointment. Basically the Doctor does an ultrasound to check to make sure all my insides are suppressed and working to their liking for the big drugs to start working. They also do blood work to confirm that my estrogen is suppressed enough. My appointment was at 9:45 my good friend Shanae put the kids on the bus for me so I could get there on time. The traffic was crazy, but I made it. I was so nervous for some reason, thinking my body might not have responded like they hoped.... I said a prayer in the van before I went in and took a few deep breaths. (those vaginal ultrasounds are NEVER fun).
In the waiting room it was the most packed I'd ever seen it.. there was about 6-8 women waiting.... All in different levels of the process, there was a couple filling out paperwork for their first appointment, and a women in her pjs apparently going in to get her eggs harvested that day. There was an older couple who sat close together whispering. I felt very blessed to be able to be apart of such an amazing clinic who does such a good job. ORM is awesome and in the top 10 fertility clinics in the US!
So when it was my turn everything went smoothly.. infact so smooth I was in and out in about 45 minutes!
All my questions were answered by my personal nurse Genevieve. She's amazing. I'll be able to color my hair tonight ( I was worried about that!) She also gave me some light exercise ideas I can do. I'll be walking a bunch :) All my tests came out perfect. I'm suppressed just where I should be and I'm on track to start the big drugs to stimulate all the eggs to grow on friday!
We changed my appointment days to correlate better with my drugs calendar. My next appointment is Sunday at 8 in the morning before church. It's so crazy that the clinic is open on the weekends.
Here's to a good day :)
