Let’s Keep Things Interesting

posted in TTC |

The last couple of days have been a world wind with mostly good news, but there is a dash of bad news, just to keep my life interesting.

Today I went to Dr. Feelgood for my requisite wanding and it turns out that I have 7 mature follicles and that he is hoping to retrieve 5 eggs. Yippee! Thanks to Mulberry and all of you for routing for more than 3 puppies. I feel good about it all for the moment, but we shall see, that could change on a dime.

Nadia and I will pull the trigger tonight at 10PM with a lovely shot in the arse. And then Saturday morning we will do the dirty deed.

I broke the news to my supervisor today but I have to admit that I it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. Since my retrieval is on Saturday I did not have to tell my supervisor about the full extent of my medical treatments. Because the retrieval is over the weekend, I am only taking off 2 days from work as opposed to 1 day for retrieval and then 2 days for transfer approximately 3 to 5 days later.

What I told her was is that I am going to have a ‘medical procedure’ next week but I am not exactly sure when because the doctor was trying to fit my into his schedule (not a complete fib) and that I would let her know when I would be out as soon as I could. She seemed genuinely concerned for my welfare. I assured her that I was going to be fine. She gave me a hug and told me not to worry about it. In fact, she told me that I should feel free to take three days if I needed to.

All of this is good news.

The bad news is that at the 11th hour I experienced a horrible drama with my health care provider and I feel completely blind-sided. I am so upset about it, but I am trying to stay positive and get some rest, so I won’t write more now, but I will detail the whole gory narrative when I have more energy.

Right now, I am going to take a bath and meditate on five eggs.

Thanks for your warm wishes. It’s helping.

5 eggs - that really is great! Oh, I’m so happy for you guys!

I hope this health care provider scare turns out to be not a big deal so that you can focus all of your energy on those eggs and the transfer!

Good luck with the booty-shot!

Five eggs. Woo hoo!

Sorry for the drama. Wouldn’t it be nice if SOMETHING could be uncomplicated for a change?

I like the way you told your boss– clean. No mention of fertility treatment so that she doesn’t start worrying about maternity leave. I think it’s better. And bonus that she was so understanding.

Fingers firmly crossed for you.
