Yesterday I had the Mock Transfer done. It was easy and was really quick. I wore the scarf I made on Sunday and got lots of compliments and the nursing staff said I should just make 7 next time :0) Dr. B took a look at my ovaries because “pretty ovaries make her happy.” We got the paperwork we needed for the shared risk program and this morning we went back and paid for it all. We originally were going to do the shared risk that included medications. I called our prescription insurance and they are going to cover a huge portion of the meds, so we saved a bunch but not including the medications in the shared risk. Because we have a separate insurance coverage for medications, they don’t care if we don’t have any coverage through our primary insurance for IVF. So that was a huge relief.
After we went and paid, I had my annual exam appt at the OBGYN. Only they were closed due to the weather. My cell # has changed since the last time I was in and I didn’t think to update it when I called to schedule the appt. So I had no way of knowing the office wasn’t open till we got there. Luckily, it’s not far. I held the door open for a lady in the office next door because she had her hands full and she said “oh don’t you hold that door open for me lady with a baby on board” She’s lucky I didn’t burst into tears.
On my checklist of things I needed done before we can start the injectable medications was my pap smear results. So since I was already cutting it close by having the appt today, I started to freak out a bit that we would have to wait. So I called my awesome nurse, left her a message, and waited for her to call me back. She said that they don’t require the results, but it’s more of a reminder since often women going through infertility forget about the rest of their health. She said that we can continue but if something comes back abnormal, we would reevaluate. I told her that I would make it for as soon as possible, and she told me that she knew I would because I’m her star patient *wahoo* She just likes me because I like making lists and checking them off just like she does.
I talked to the pharmacy and my medications are being delivered on Tuesday. Our injections class is next Friday and next Saturday I start the Lupron.
I thought I’d leave you with some pictures
One of the socks to wear for egg retrieval. the other one is finished too, but I only have 1 sock blocker.
The scarf I crocheted on Sunday. This is the one the nursing staff requested.
Looking from our balcony to the neighbors AC unit. The snow was still coming down.
Mike’s car on Saturday afternoon. The car on the other side that you can barely see is our asshole neighbors car, so I didn’t feel bad that it was totally buried.
We’ve got more snow on the horizon tonight. I’ll be honest, I’m kinda over it.
