relieved, happy and nervous
all at once! Well, I am glad I went into the RE this morning. My nurse only did b/w. No u/s...which is fine - no copay today - even better. As you all know I was having "issues" with AF. She decides to show up on CD 15. (How nice of her to not make me wait another 2 weeks for her to show! LOL) But confused me as to whether or not it was indeed AF or just mid-cycle bleeding. Well the blood work confirmed that I it was AF! I had ovulated and all my levels are where they should be at a start of a cycle.
Then a few moments later I get another call. Its my RE. Surprised that he called me (I didn't think that they made phone calls) he wanted to talk about my next steps. He told me that because of the amount of follicles that I produced with the medicine that my ovaries will still be overstimulated and I wouldn't be able to take meds this cycle. Bummer.
He also told me that because of my great response with the meds that my chances of having multiples increase more so than the average women during fertility treatment. Uh O.
Then he said that since my insurance covers IVF and my high risk of multiples through injectables that he recommends I do IVF.
He asked me when I wanted to start. Ahhh! I told him that I wasn't 100% sure when and that I needed to talk it over with my hubs first. They gave me a pack of birth control (in the morning)and told me go on it for 10 days or until I feel ready to go through with the procedure.
So I am relieved that it was AF and not something else, happy that things are continuing to move along and nervous that I am going to do IVF. It was weird though, after I got off the phone with my RE I had this unconrollable urge to smile. Maybe because I feel like becoming a mother is closer than I think. Just think...I could be prego by the end of next month!!
