Let’s Keep Things Interesting
The last couple of days have been a world wind with mostly good news, but there is a dash of bad news, just to keep my life interesting.Today I went to Dr. Feelgood for my requisite wanding and it turns out that I have 7 mature follicles and that he is hoping to retrieve 5 eggs. Yippee! Thanks to Mulberry and all of you for routing for more than 3 puppies. I feel good about it all for the moment, but we shall see, that could change on a dime.
Nadia and I will pull the trigger tonight at 10PM with a lovely shot in the arse. And then Saturday morning we will do the dirty deed.
I broke the news to my supervisor today but I have to admit that I it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. Since my retrieval is on Saturday I did not have to tell my supervisor about the full extent of my medical treatments. Because the retrieval is over the weekend, I am only taking off 2 days from work as opposed to 1 day for retrieval and then 2 days for transfer approximately 3 to 5 days later.
What I told her was is that I am going to have a ‘medical procedure’ next week but I am not exactly sure when because the doctor was trying to fit my into his schedule (not a complete fib) and that I would let her know when I would be out as soon as I could. She seemed genuinely concerned for my welfare. I assured her that I was going to be fine. She gave me a hug and told me not to worry about it. In fact, she told me that I should feel free to take three days if I needed to.
All of this is good news.
The bad news is that at the 11th hour I experienced a horrible drama with my health care provider and I feel completely blind-sided. I am so upset about it, but I am trying to stay positive and get some rest, so I won’t write more now, but I will detail the whole gory narrative when I have more energy.
Right now, I am going to take a bath and meditate on five eggs.
Thanks for your warm wishes. It’s helping.
5 eggs – that really is great! Oh, I’m so happy for you guys!
I hope this health care provider scare turns out to be not a big deal so that you can focus all of your energy on those eggs and the transfer!
Good luck with the booty-shot!
15 eggs!! Awesome!
2go eggies go! i knew there were more to be had in there
hope you enjoyed the warm bath. sorry to hear that the evil insurance people (health care NON-providers) are after you… that can really suck. hope your heiny doesn’t hurt too much. i think we are about a little less than a week behind you… dakota will be getting that heiny shot in a few days.
3congrats on the eggs! i’m sure the retrieval will go just perfectly! fingers crossed!
4Five eggs. Woo hoo!
Sorry for the drama. Wouldn’t it be nice if SOMETHING could be uncomplicated for a change?
5I like the way you told your boss– clean. No mention of fertility treatment so that she doesn’t start worrying about maternity leave. I think it’s better. And bonus that she was so understanding.
Fingers firmly crossed for you.
