My appointment went amazingly, I apparently have beautiful uterine lining, am disease free and possibly clinically insane for doing this a 3rd time! That's according to the Dr, but what does he know really? We had fun in LA, it was a very short trip and we only were able to go to Universal studios for am hour, but we rode 3 rides in that short amount of time. We also made a quick stop at Venice beech where my daughter verey quickly got stung by a bee after stepping on it, not her best plan. We walked down Hollywood Blvd I found Bruce Willis' star (I love him) and after my appointment we went to Santa Monica beech. I was late for my appointment by 30 minutes because LA traffic sucks bad! But I'm very proud of myself for driving there and not killing myself or anyone else. They all actually seem to be good drivers, lots of motorcycles though and they were a little scary zooming around everyone, I thought I was going to have to use my nursing skills a couple of times. The Dr. had a helmet in his office so I verified that he was a motorcycle rider and expressed my jealousy over his short commute time then also verified that he too has a certain level of crazy to zoom around all the cars. The crazy leading the clinically insane, seems like an excellent match up! No, he loves me, I mean what's not to love I'm a Labor and Delivery nurse repeat surrogate X3! I'm probably his easiest patient. Except he said he was going to make me do IM injection progesterone instead of vaginal suppositories and I kind of fought him for a minute, but eventually conceded his point. Next step is to start my period and start birth control pills. I know, birth control pills? Aren't you trying to get pregnant? Yes, but they want to control my ovulation and my uterine lining and get the egg donor and I's cycles lined up similarly.
So, I started the birth control pill a couple of days ago and now I wait to hear when she starts hers and I think I start my meds when she starts her period but I'm not sure, and I have no clue when the actual transfer will happen yet which is slightly frustrating seeing as how I have a fulltime job I have to work around and pray someone will help cover my hours when I have to just up and leave for 4-5 days. Once we hear when the egg donor starts her cycle I'll know a tentative transfer date. Hope fully soon, I'll keep you updated!
