Baby time!

Saturday, November 15, 2014

Awesome awesome news! Yesterday at my ultrasound appointment, my lining was measuring at 12mm which is GREAT! The estrogen shots have helped me get all nice and cushy for our babies! The monitoring doctor, Dr. Moshe, indicated that my lining was trilaminar, which shows up as 3 white lines on the ultrasound, kind of making a uterus sandwich. A trilaminar lining is optimal for this stage, and most IVF clinics will not do an embryo transfer without one. This means that the estrogen has done its work and my body has responded beautifully! Side note, I've always been told at almost every ultrasound that my uterus is beautiful. It's always doing what it's supposed to be doing. Just wish the rest of my body (ahem, OVARIES) would get with the program.

So when I talked to the nurse last night, she said there was an issue with the results that Dr. Moshe's office faxed to them yesterday - all the images came out black. Dr. Patel needed to see them, because if the lining really was trilaminar, then she would want to bring me in Monday for my pre-op and then do the procedure on Friday! The nurse asked if I knew if the office was open on Saturdays, and if I could possibly get a hold of the ultrasound images so that Dr. Patel could take a look at them. If not, we would have to wait until Monday for the results, and we'd have to push the pre-op back to Friday and the procedure to next Monday. Well, that lit a fire under me, because of two things: 1) Getting the results to them sooner means that we get to put our babies back in me sooner, and 2) The sooner we get everything scheduled, the more work I get to miss. Hehe.

I could not get a hold of the office over the phone, so this morning we took a little drive down to Boca to see if anyone was there. Luckily, they must have had a procedure scheduled, because the doctor and a nurse were there. We got the images emailed directly to Dr. Patel right then and there. Not 30 minutes later we got a call from the nurse - we are good to go! Pre-op will be Monday morning at 8:45 and our procedure is scheduled for Friday the 21st at 11a.m. Woohoo!

No school Monday, no school (and transfer!!!) Friday, hopefully doctor's note for next Mon/Tues, then Thanksgiving break! Things worked out perfectly. :)

Tomorrow morning's Lupron shot will be my very last one, and tomorrow night I got to start my progesterone injections. We are so excited to get to move forward! We're in the home stretch, finally!
