It’s the countdown to the stirrups. Any lady that has had an internal annual exam knows just how much fun this is going to be. I’ll have someone filming me too. We’ll see how dignified and laid back I can be while I’m literally laid back with a vaginal ultrasound crammed up my lady parts (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003779.htm). Sorry, what a visual.
I’m generally chipper and happy to be helping someone out. I tend to focus on the outcome of this process. It’s more rewarding for me than it would be if I were undergoing IVF to become pregnant myself. It’s often a heartbreaking process for the people involved.
I’ve been taking the birth control pills for a couple weeks now. I’m a little bloated and my boobs are a little bigger a little more tender (actually they feel like they’ve been sternum blocked by one of the gals on my derby team). I am also spotting a bit, which means that my uterus is building its typical lining and starting to shed it. This could be a good thing, or a pain in the ass. If I get my period again soon then we have to push the process back a couple weeks. I think I will know for sure how thick the lining is on Wednesday and I should now what the full IVF schedule looks like.
More to come……
