Kind of a random post
One day 7 of Provera, IVF nurse said AF (infertility lingo for period) should be here around day 5...WTF body, the ONE time I actually want that bitch to show she's no where to be found? Nonsense.
As soon as I get it, I need to do 7am CD3 BW, so if I get AF on wednesday or thursday then I will need to travel to Lexington to have blood drawn. Saturday is my birthday, that's not really where I wanted to spend my whole morning, but such is the life of an infertile! And sometime after that I will have my HSC Oh all while winding down the end of the school year, moving my classroom, and changing grades. WOO!
In other news, I have lost 13.6lbs so far, I would love to lose another 5 before my physical on the 22nd. That way I get to hear less from that jerkface RE.
OH this is important!
I saw my OBGYN (who invented PAPs anyways??? blek.) He is the one who we were seeing with Josh & Zoe (he came to the hospital on his day off after I delivered to make sure I was "ok"). I love him, the office staff and the general feel of the practice. I know they actually care about me. He said "we will see
you in a few months when you're pg!!" And I said wait wait wait no I
have to go into Boston for my MFM. So we got to chatting....They are 15-20 min from my school and 15 min from my house. They are
directly across from my delivering hospital, which has a stage 3 NICU.
OB said that I could tell him what I needed as far
as ultrasounds and appointments were concerned and we would do exactly
the same protocol as with Colin, which is an ultrasound to check cervical length ever other week from week 14-26. He said I dictate my care, what I say goes ( I
mean clearly within reason). Also, this will make my delivery so much easier. Last time we were in Boston for 5 days, then Colin was in the NICU for 8.
Traveling back and forth was so terrible and I felt like we didnt spend as much time as we could have there with him. (usually 14-16 hours, still didnt feel like enough). Everything will be harder with Colin at home, making all those trips aren't easy anymore, its not just Bill and I. On the other hand my MFM specializes in TAC pregnancies but is 2 hours away and appointments take
at least 2 hours (at best). I feel very bad, like I'm saying I dont care as much about #2's care, but really I'm trying to reduce my own stress for the pregnancy and I have more knowledge now on how things "should" go. I also know that if problems start to arise, then I can always go back to Boston to see my MFM. This was a super hard decision for us to make, and as usual it can change at any moment.
So for now....we wait.
