High Fives

Today I had my appointment at the Fertility Clinic, I was fortunate enough to be scheduled around the same time as the IP's S and E. The clinic walked us all through the paperwork and tests leading up to the IVF procedure.

In addition to the urine and blood work, I also had the hysteroscopy procedure done. The first thing I noticed was how empty my uterus was, I have only had ultrasounds done during my pregnancies and I remember seeing that little flicker of a heartbeat. Now I just waited to hear what the Dr. thought about my uterus.

Well it wasn't long into the procedure that Dr. K gave his assistant and I 'high fives' saying, "this is the best looking uterus I have seen." The Dr. had the biggest smile on his face and even his assistant mentioned she hadn't seen him so excited about a uterus. I was so happy to hear such a glowing review and I am now even more confident that I can help S and E's baby dreams come true.

                                             

I do have some cramping and light bleeding left after the procedure but my guess is it won't last much longer. They also gave me birth control pills to start once I start my next cycle and showed me some of the medications I will take once we get further along in the process. I mentioned the shots to my husband Jon and he didn't seem so confident that he will be able to administer them for me (he almost passed out when I was giving birth to our second child) so I think I will need to get more comfortable with the idea that I will be doing them on my own.

So now we wait... actually while we all wait my family and I are headed to Destin, FL. tomorrow so I hope that upon my return some of the paperwork has started to move and we can all take more steps into our journey together.
