I had my appointment this morning for blood work and ultrasound! It's national nurses day so I brought in kolaches and donuts for the team at Dr. Allon's! They are so good to us! You have to take care of the people who take care of you! Sandy did my ultrasound this morning, she is our other coordinator. She was hoping for my follicles to measure between 15-17 and mine were at 17-20! They will not move any dates so we are still set for Saturday as my egg retrieval! I met a lady in the reception area this morning. Her and her husband have been there most times when I am also, so I started to make small talk! I know me talking, hard to believe... Bahahhahaah kidding! She is on her 7th transfer, 3 miscarriages and the others didn't take at all. The harsh reality is it could absolutely happen to us.. But I refuse to let fear over come my faith and how far we've come! I told her a little about our process and where we were. She has a family member who is willing to be a surrogate for them, I tried to answer as many questions as I could and tried to ease her mind. Untold her never expect someone to understand you're journey unless they have traveled it. She has a very strong support system and I told her that is number two, number one has to be God. He has a plan for each of us and all we have to do is follow. She will be back in Thursday for bloodwork and I will be in for bloodwork in ultrasound, I plan to give her my number because I want her to know she's not alone! The hardest part of this process is when you feel alone. To the prayer warriors keep her and her family in your prayers... I hope to see her on Thursday with good news!
Well my first entry was before I got a phone call from Dr. Allon's office. Sandy said my progesterone is a little on the high side and they would like to see me again in the morning for repeat blood work, in case they need to adjust any of my injections! I am starting to get very antsy and nervous about Saturday! Can't believe everything has moved so fast! Just got done taking my injections and I'm guessing because I am so swollen and my ovaries are large is why my injections hurt so bad tonight. I have been very blessed that the injections themselves haven't been too bad, but tonight I am extremely sore after them! No pain, no gain!! Bring on baby bray!!
They're growing!! Saturday is the day!!
