Nurse consult

Just as an FYI, for those doing IVF, when you're on the BCPs, it is perfectly normal to have breakthrough bleeding. I actually even had a little AF symptoms. It's so annoying, but it's normal.

We had our nurse consult yesterday. It was pretty overwhelming learning about all the medications and stuff. They went over a little bit more about the retrieval and transfer and said they will go over that a little more as time goes on. They have a nice little calendar book with the dates and medication dosages so it’s actually really easy. I think they had me in mind when they made that. I think once we get going on the medications, I’ll be okay, but the thought was kind of freaking me out yesterday. We start the Lupron on Sunday! That’s 2 days away! All my medications will be coming today so I’ll be sure to take a picture when they come.

I did make a fool out of myself yesterday. It wouldn’t be a day without making a fool out of myself. We were talking about freezing the embryos and she said she had to hold a credit card for the amount when/if we had embryos to freeze. She asked if we didn’t have any to freeze if we wanted her to shred it.

Me, being the blonde I am, said “Well, I think we’ll want it back and not shred because we’ll probably need it.”

The finance lady smiles. You can tell she’s trying not to laugh. Meanwhile, Mark is shaking his head. Immediately I realize the mistake I’ve made and just said with a beet-red face, “Aw, shredding would be good.” We all start laughing and the finance lady says I was cute…aw, thanks. I told her that I was never going to live this down and the whole family was going to hear about this. I’m sure the whole office had a good laugh when we left.

I’ll be sure post a picture when we get the medications! I can’t believe this is happening!

This weekend I will be getting caught up on blogs. I apologize as I haven’t been there like I want to be. I hope everyone is doing okay!
