Next Steps
I found out from the ovarian reserve test that I have plenty of healthy eggs. That is very exciting! And refreshing to hear.
I have an appointment next week to have an exam and an ultrasound. The Dr. will check my ovaries, my cervix and as much as he can see with an ultrasound. They will also teach me how to give myself the hormone shots/fertility meds.
March 18th I will start taking a pill for a week to bring my cycle on.
March 30th I will start taking the fertility meds to make sure I ovulate and make plenty of eggs.
April 2nd, 5th and 8th I will go in and have ultrasounds and blood work to see where I am from the meds. And if all goes well we will do the egg retrieval procedure around April 11th.
We are very excited to start the process. I have very high hopes, but definitely starting to feel a little anxious about it all. Thank goodness I have a busy job to keep me side tracked because it’s all I think about day in and day out. It’s funny when people tell me not to think about it and relax. It’s so much easier said than done. I’m definitely not stressed about any of it or have any negative feelings. I feel very positive and excited.
I have also been seeing an amazing acupuncturist the last few years and feel that she has helped me become healthier in mind and body. She will also be an important part in trying to keep me sane through this process🤞😆 and keeping my body on track with acupuncture treatments.
I will post again when we have more news.
