Too much pressure to put something smart and witty here. It's just a blog I am writing to keep track of... well me, I guess.

First Appt with the Monitoring Clinic -or- The Day of Wasted Tampons
This morning was the first appt at CCRM. What was suppose to be a 30 min appt, turned into a 70 min appt. I was an hour late to work and was not a happy camper. Despite my annoyance my blood pressure was still 106/82 which is nice to see. I am on CD 2 today and had my ultrasound first. I guess things looked fine, she looked at my uterus and measured both ovaries. She had a great poker face. Next was blood work, but as I was waiting, they took me and said I needed an IVF physical. Ummm....What?! I do not have time for this, why is this needed? I went ahead with it though, if they need it whatever, lets do it. So the MA said I would need to fill out questionnaires, get vitals, finger poke blood and a full pelvic/breast exam. So I'm yet again undressed and wearing paper. A doctor comes in, goes over the papers, gets some vitals, does the breast exam and lo and behold no pelvic is needed. Waste of a tampon. But I should not have another af for a year, so I shouldn't need tampons for a long time. Anyway, then I go for the blood draw. That went easy. The results will be sent to NE Fertility, and I should get a call with instructions. I'm pretty sure the physical was CCRM policy but they said NEF ordered it. Its already 330 in CT so I hope to hear in the next couple hours about the results. I hope everything is fine and I can start estradiol. I think I will post one of the before pictures. Like a true woman, even though my body is great, I still don't necessarily love it completely. And for record keeping purposes I was 101.0 lbs on 11/1/11. What other stats change with pregnancy? Weight, blood pressure.... I guess those are the biggest ones. I'll update later if I get any interesting instructions.
