Day 2 of birth control and my guts are not happy. I guess I forgot how much I hated taking birth control and how much happier I was while not on it. The only thing making me think good thoughts is the possibility of a baby in several months!
Yesterday I met Dr Young who is a male Fertility Specialist at The Fertility Center in G.R. He mentioned that my blood pressure was a little high and couldn't figure out why I would be nervous. Umm, I don't know, maybe because you are going to put an ultrasound wand up my bleeding vagina...gross! I don't want anyone down there at that time of the month! Oh, well, it actually wasn't as bad as I thought. He told me that it was going to be quite uncomfortable and when I mentioned that I had an HCG done and hardly felt anything he said that I would have no problem with this procedure. About half way in, the ultrasound machine ran out of paper so the nurse started rifling through the cupboards to find some. Then she and Dr Young discussed whether or not she should leave the room to and get some more for what felt like 5 minutes. Finally, they decided that she would go and get some so I told her to take her time because I wasn't uncomfortable or anything. I said it with a laugh, but I think that they definitely picked up on the sarcasm because she left quickly. That said, I was then left alone in an exam room with a male doctor who had an ultrasound wand in my vagina. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that is against procedure. Luckily he wasn't creepy and didn't try anything unprofessional. She then returned and the ultrasound proceeded. The results showed that my ovaries looked good and my lining was as it should be at that point in my cycle. Yay!
The next step is Lupron in a couple of weeks. Until then, we will be scraping every last penny we have to prepare for our upcoming ultrasounds which will be a few hundred dollars out of pocket each! So long social life....
Thinking of you guys, hoping it all goes smoothly!
