Just Keep Swimming Just Keep Swimming

I'm keeping a care-free Dori kind of month. Just keep swimming.

My lovely husband scheduled for me to have a massage Saturday which was fabulous. Then Sunday I went and got my hair cut and colored. I haven't colored my hair professionally in like 10 years. It was a great relaxing weekend. And to give you an idea of how relaxed I am, right now my hubby and son are out doing manly car stuff and I am sitting here enjoying a glass of red and listening to ron pope, mumford & sons, and ed sheeran serenade me.

So anyway.....

My appointment today went swimmingly, though I had a bit of an upstream battle at times.

Got my blood drawn. From the poke on through until the end I knew that I was going to bruise. It was the way that the lady poked me, I knew it was going to leave a mark. Truthfully, that was the easiest part of my appointment.

Ugh, they're going to have to tap this vein again tomorrow since my other arm never cooperates

Got brought back into the room and Rhonda popped in. She said they'd check my lining, follicles and then they were going to perform a sono hysterogram (I'll explain this later).

Within the first 5 seconds of my ultrasound a big patch of fluid was staring back from the monitor. I started to explain how I thought it was mucous and Rhonda cut me off and said she 100% believes me and wants to aspirate it to prove to everyone I am right. So I agreed to the aspiration.

If you remember back in December I had the same stuff and same aspirations. Not fun. This time it took her 15 minutes to get it all out and no less than 3 different catheters with suctions on them. The last one was called the Tom Cat and that shit was serious. At one point I jumped off the table and I am usually real good about compartmentalizing pain. Yea, ouch. But anyway, she got it all. Yay.

She also did the follicle check and I have one dominant follie on my right measuring 16x16 and then a small follie on my left about 13x13. So the 16mm one is a few mm from being mature already. It's almost go time!!

The final thing they did was the sono hysterogram. This is where the place a catheter through my cervix into my uterus. Then they put the internal ultrasound probe back inside me and then they inject saline through the catheter and watch on the ultrasound monitor how my uterus looks. Well, thankfully my uterus is 'beautiful'. Rhonda said it was one of the best she's seen so yay for having one functioning reproductive organ.

Look at that beautiful uterus. Hopefully soon it'll be home to a new embaby.

So I'm back at the office tomorrow and I have a feeling I'll be triggering soon with a transfer sometime early next week.
