Those were my RE’s words this morning after my baseline ultrasound. Apparently it’s pretty common for women to develop cysts on their ovaries. If that’s the case you are required to stay on the meds a little longer in order to shrink the cysts. Well, for the first time during this god-awful experience, something has actually gone right… no cysts, thank you very much! So as long as my blood tests from this morning come back normal (as we all anticipate they will) I can start “stimming” tomorrow!
This means I’ll start taking the drug that will create multiple eggs. A friend at work- we’ll call her Yessica- keeps saying, “don’t you think you could just sprinkle on a little extra of that medicine just so we’re sure you have enough eggs”….. mmm hmmm she can help with my 8 screaming babies then! :)
I told my RE I was relieved there were no cysts as I am in a wedding on the 27th and any sort of delay in the meds would not really mesh well with that. His response was, “Oh, I hope to have you pregnant by the 27th. Even if you don’t know it then!” This is the first time in a long time that I’ve left the doctor’s office feeling so confident. Based on my lab history, the look of my ultrasound, and just my family’s background, I’m starting to feel really positive that things will work out.
I'll go in on March 11th for another round of labs and another ultrasound. If things look good, they'll schedule my E/R for the following week... fingers crossed!
