Crazy IVF Dreams...And Good News at the Clinic
I've had a couple nights pretty bad insomnia...probably some of it having to do with the drugs I'm on, some of it my anxiety about traveling/how this cycle is going. Last night I lay awake for hours, and when I finally fell asleep had the weirdest dreams about my clinic.
First, they didn't do an ultrasound to check the follicles, they had me lean forward and could see them as little ovals on my lower back. They said I had a lot, and then said that they weren't going to retrieve any, and I couldn't quite figure out why. Then, I went to have my blood drawn, and they needed a different kind of blood draw, they said, and they used a needle the size of the barrel of a ballpoint pen and put a big puncture wound in my arm that needed a couple stitches after. And the whole visit took 24 hours and no one seemed concerned about that. And then I got in a pretty major car wreck on the way home, but didn't really seem to be hurt. Has anyone else had weird dreams like this?
Back in the real world, I had my first visit at my out-of-town clinic today (I've been being seen locally up until now) and everything is looking really, really good. They're thinking retreival next Tuesday or Wednesday, possibly Thursday. The fact that we won't know the retrieval day until 36 hours ahead of time is causing stress as we've got to get my husband out here and he's in college and has already missed a lot of school because of his dad dying and we're going to have to get him a plane ticket at the last minute and he has a test on Tuesday that could cause big problems if missed...ugh...stressful. Need to focus on today's good news and not our potential scheduling nightmares.
Hope everyone else is doing well on this lovely, sunny (in Colorado at least) Friday. Happy almost-weekend! :)
