Appointment

I had my doctor's appointment today. Everything looks good and is right on track. Our tentative FET date is Thurs. July 15 with my next appointment being Monday, July 12. I'm hoping my body doesn't decide to ovulate early, blowing our whole schedule. We would lose this month AND August because the fertility bank is closed in August.

I forgot how intensive the medicine regiment can be. I am grateful that doing a FET doesn't involve shots, but it still involves a lot of drugs! I am currently on Estradoil (the generic form of Estrace), which is an estrogen supplement. I take those tiny little blue pills twice a day. The doctor told me to start taking a baby aspirin once a day as well. Aspirin is a blood thinner and this will help with circulation to my uterus. Starting on Monday, July 12th, I will begine the progesterone suppositories. YUCK!!! I also have a prescription for a steriod, valium, and two other types of drugs for after the procedure. I didn't realize I will have to be on bed rest for two days again. Not that I'm complaining. This whole mess should help me in someway! I'll take two days to relax!

I walked into the fertility office lobby today and was slapped in the face with irony. Here in the one place where I am suppose to be safe from children was the most adorable 2 year old with his mom. I'm guessing she's back for round 2 or 3 or 20 of ART (Assistive Reproductive Technology), so I didn't hate her that much. Although a tiny part of me resented her for bringing her precious little one into my safe haven.

One of my sorority sisters randomly sent me a chat message on facebook telling me she had a dream I was pregnant last night. Of course I'm not now, but I wish she hadn't planted the seed of possibility into my brain. I prefer reality.
