OMG it was pretty overwhelming. The place was beautiful and very relaxing although as I sat there and looked around the room I wanted to cry. All of us in that waiting room wanted the same thing and some of us may never get it. I'm trying to be positive though. The doctor was very nice. The doctor wanted to start with either laproscopy or IVF. He wants to be pretty aggressive about this. When I told him that my insurance doesn't cover IVF he then said well IUI with injections it is. So our plan is 3 months of IUI, then the laproscopy, then the remaining 6 IUIs (my insurance will pay for 9 IUIs + meds) . I did say that if for some chance we have to take a cycle off sooner (cysts, OHSS) then I will do the lap that month so I don't lose any time. He seemed pretty optimistic, but was disappointed that we couldn't just do IVF (since with IUIs you can not control how many babies you get and I'll most likely have to get a reduction).
For my blood work and U/S (I'll be getting one EOD once I start the meds he said) I can do those here in town instead of driving 1.5 hours there and back. That was a huge relief!
I had blood work drawn today for all the sex hormones, cystic fibrosis, HIV, and titers for immunity. Then I got a lovely transvaginal U/S at during which I began laughing because my husband made a comment earlier that it was like watching someone speed shifting in a really fast car. All I could think of was the sound of a car shifting gears at high speeds, lol! The nurse said everything looked okay, but my endometrial lining wasn't very thick. I am hoping that was because this was my first cycle off of clomid which I was on for 5 months.
Now I am just waiting for AF to show, and Medco to call me about my meds. They put a stat order on the meds so that I could possibly get them for this cycle. Please keep your FX that they get here in time. I keep telling AF to just wait at the door and she can come in tomorrow because that will give Medco an extra day to get my order ready.
