I can honestly say that never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I would spend as much time at a doctor's office as I have this week. I have been to the doctor every morning for the past 6 of 7 days for ultrasounds and blood draws. Luckily I had Thanksgiving Day off :) I was supposed to have Saturday off as well, but the super duper blood draw people that I had to go Friday (because everyone else was closed) DIDN'T DRAW THE RIGHT VIAL! Yep, you read that correctly. I had to give blood on Friday for no good reason at all! So then of course I had to go to another location that was open on Saturdays to do another blood draw so my RE could check my levels. Special. I'm pretty sure if I wouldn't have done an acupuncture session on Friday I may have gone on a rampage, but I am finding it calms me down and I don't get headaches anymore from all these crazy hormones :)
Going into this IFV journey I knew it would be an adventure, but this is almost on the verge of insanity. Dr's visits everyday, traveling to different locations to get my blood drawn since my cycle was not only on the weekend, but a holiday weekend no less, the two nightly injections and then deciding to do acupuncture as well... I pray today was our last day of the shots and should find out at my appointment tomorrow morning if I need to do my "trigger shot." And that means only good things folks!! :) My surgery is about 36 hours after the trigger shot and then we will become closer and closer to being pregnant. I am praying that at this time next week I can truthfully say we are pregnant and then many prayers to follow to make sure the embryos grow into healthy babies ;)
Ps. Of course I had to show a picture of how I am starting to look like a drug addict from all of the blood draws!
