And we are a go!

I had my follicle scan today.

But only after a scary GPS experience where I was directed to go into Mexico as a "shortcut" to the RE's office...oh how inaccurate "shortcut" is. I was only using the GPS to make sure that I could get to the appointment on time in morning traffic. Long story short, I didn't know that I was on the bridge to Mexico until it was too late to take another exit, I then had to make a 3 point turn at the border patrol crossing in front of about 20 border patrol agents and 100+ cars. Mind you I wasn't really that far off course, you can see into Mexico for the last 10 miles of the drive as you drive along the highway to the office.

Anyway, I got to the office on time, but was locked out because apparently the knob gets hit easily by patients. What doesn't go wrong with my appointments?

I was finally seen for my scan, where I was advised that a resident would be doing the scan. OK, fine, they need to learn, I get it...but he put old Wandy in and proceeded to futz around like he didn't kow what he was looking at.  Even I knew when he was looking at my uterus. Anyhow, the RE came in and in 2 minutes or less, measured my uterus and follicles.

Uterus: 8.3 mm and triple-striped
Follicles: Righty- a few, but all 13 mm or less, Lefty- 21.5 mm, 14 mm, 13, mm

I was advised to take one vial of Meno.pur tonight and do my trigger tomorrow at 5 pm for a Saturday morning IUI. Yay for a Saturday appointment and not taking another day off work!

It looks like I will be doing my trigger shot myself somehow as I will be working at the office that is one hour away from where I live. (it does have to be intramuscular, so a hip/butt injection)

  1. OMG about the shortcut! I would have been freaking out! Glad you were able to make it on time despite that. Woohoo for a Saturday IUI! Let's hope the next time you need time off work it will be for a new reason :) Good luck with the trigger...you'll have to let us know how that goes.
