Waiting to Take Flight
So I’ve settled into my boring work routine and am just wanted to checklist off everything on my ivf prep checklist. Even though, I’ve only been back for a short week, I’ve done pretty well so far:
1. Saline Sonogram–check
2. SIS or sounding–to measure the transfer etc.–check
3. Insurance Authorization–stil waiting on pins and needles
4. Surge monitoring–check, started on Saturday
5. Endo-metrial co-culture (scheduled after my ovulation/positive surge on test)
6. Estrogren priming–will begin after my surge
7. Ganirlix-a day after I start estrogen.
And then the wait for my period followed by a day 2 blast off to the IVF drug haze.
The two procedures, I had last week were painless and I was out of the office in half an hour. The last time I did a saline sonogram, I waited two hours suffered through what seemed like an endless procedure and then went straight to bed with excruciating cramps. In previous posts I named the saline sonogram the no-pain-no-gain exam because I hated it so much and thought it was going to kill me. My former RE, the doctor formerly known as Dr. Feelgood scared the beejesus out of me by stating “my uterus was stil distorted after the surgery”. And when I asked him what that meant, he said, “I don’t know,” which put me in a panic. But yesterday my new RE, Dr. Yoda, said that everything looked good. There was no mention of scaring or weird uterine formations.
So I’m waiting for insurance authorization and feeling an odd sense of calm.
Glad to her that the saline sono was painless. I hope the insurance comes through and that you make it through the rest of your checklist without a hitch.
1that is a serious checklist… glad all is looking well so far… fingers crossed for the insurance
2You have gotten an amazing amount done. I’m praying that the insurance comes through and that this IVF give you a BFP!
3Praying for your insurance coverage to say yes. You’ve reminded me to make a checklist myself…doing that now. So good to see you yesterday and I’ll be watching my back for your stalking:)
4Jumping back into blogland. Have missed you. Sooooooooooo relieved to hear that Nadia is doing well, and excited for your upcoming IVF. I have been saying insurance prayers a lot lately, so I will say them for you, too …..
5Knows what is best to say to you, Dr. Yoda does. Huuummm, yes.
Glad your test went well and that you gained confidence without experiencing pain.
