Back from this morning's appt with the dildocam. The doc saw a couple of small follicles but no large cyst on either ovary. Hooray! My uterine lining is thin, and he said I probably wouldn't have much of a period. I have been bleeding all stinkin' month on the dern pills.
As far as meds go, I will be doing 450 IU of Follistim and 0.1 ml of Ovidrel Microdose. They recommended doing the injections at night before going to bed. This way we don't have to worry about it if we are out to dinner or whatnot. Works for me!
They also recommended that both of us do whatever we can to lower our stress level. If that means for me massage, acupuncture, etc, go for it (of course, I am alrady doing both). She did warn DH that if I was prone to PMS before, it would be magnified. This is something I tried to tell him and he wouldn't listen. And then she had the gall to say, if he needs to play golf to de-stress, the he should play golf as needed to help. Ugh! I thought you were supposed to be on my side, sister! When we were in the elevator, DH raised his arms and shouted, "VICTORY!!!!!!!" Thank goodness we were alone. I picked up my meds today from the pharmacy and it was a staggering sum. I guess because I am on a higher dose of Follistim. $4297. I actually felt woozy when I looked at the total on the register. And I do not even have the Progesterone yet. Ugh. That hurt. Ouch.
OOOOOOUUUUUUUCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHH.............
There was another woman there waiting on her scrips who said, "You must be gearing up for IVF," to which I replied yes. She said that she was doing a frozen transfer, and that she wished me luck. I told her I wished the same for her. She said that she needed all the luck she could get, because this was her last treatment. I wasn't sure how to respond to that, partly because that is a startling admission coming from a stranger and partly because I was woozy because I was also paying for my meds. I just kind of nodded and muttered, "Oh." As A and I packed up to leave, the woman and I again wished each other luck.
This was such a profound departure from the furtive glances in the waiting room that I am used to. I almost wanted to hug her.
My nurse has already called back with my results, and all looks good to begin the stims tomorrow night!!!!!
Why isn't spell-check working? That is most annoying.

That (the encounters) has happened to me a lot actually. There's a kind of knowledge IF people have that just seems to seep into one another and allow us to bring it up in those situations. The waiting room is just too much hurt I think, AND you're afraid of the fact that there are so many in there. What if you offend someone or make them cry??
GOOD LUCK!
