So I guess I kind of blocked out the reality of what they were going to do to me today, even though it wasn't that bad. I had the actual doctor examine my uterus (usually it's just a nurse). He first had to swab and clear my cervix, then insert a catheter into my uterus. He had said I would need an abdominal ultrasound to help guide the cath but it was so easy that he never needed to do it! Wonderful. So I have to say having catheters inserted into your uterus isn't pleasant. My uterus always cramps down trying to push it out. Luckily I'm used to it. Anyway so then he added the vaginal ultrasound wand and then filled up my uterus with water!! Weird!! It was to make sure everything was perfect in there...and it was. He said my uterus looks as perfect as if could. Woo hoo!! (However then wtf why is it so hard for me to get/stay pregnant? Oh well).
So then I met one of the lovely IVF nurses, Kathy. She is seriously so nice. The whole staff there is so amazing that its hard to see other doctors now. Anyway she provided me with a custom calendar or events. I am going to end up taking three different medications throughout mid-late August and in to early September. Of course they aren't pills!!! Oh no, they are all injections. So Kathy had to teach me how to use the needles and draw the proper amounts from the vials. Fun times ahead. At least I have about a week and a half before I have to start all this. In the meantime I really have to get rid of this cluster of migraines once and for all. Chad is being really nice about it all but I can tell his patience is waning. Going to start on a steroid pack tomorrow. Wish me luck!
