Well, I just got home from my Saline HSG. Nothing really to write home about. The doctor said that everything looked great, gave me some pictures to send down to my clinic and said "I hope to be looking a something a little more interesting in your uterus in the next few months!" I got this done at my GYNs office and apparently they've never dealt with an EA patient.
My appointment was scheduled at 10:00. When I got there at 9:45 the receptionist informed me that my appointment was at 9:00. I was on the verge of tears and told her that I would wait all day if I needed to but I needed to get this done today. She went back and talked to the sonographer who was very eager to help me out because she wanted to be a part of this journey! They were able to fit me in at 1:30! The receptionist was able to see in the computer that it was their fault that the time was switched, but I thought it was super sweet of the sonographer to want to be a part of this.
All of my meds should be her next week and I'll start the Lupron on the 25th. DH still wants to see how big the needles are before he decides if he wants to stick me. He's so afraid of hurting me and just doesn't understand the amount of pain I'm willing to endure for this. Worst case scenario, my Mom is an RN and she said she can come over and do them if he's uncomfortable.
DH and I were talking about Easter yesterday and since our transfer is on April 21st, I will be pregnant until proven otherwise on Easter Sunday. I can't wait to know that there are two little lives growing inside of me. I've been thinking a lot about when to tell everyone. I've even considered not telling DH about the first BETA if it's positive, just in case it drops on the second one. Since our infertility is male factor, I feel like he's carrying a lot of guilt about all this and I want to spare him the disappointment since he's shouldering all the guilt. I figure we can divvy up the emotional baggage.
If this does work (and I'm thinking very positively!), we were going to buy our mothers a snowflake charm for their Pandora bracelets and give them to them on Mother's Day (May 8th) and see how long it takes them to figure it out. I told my Dad about the idea and he really liked it. He keeps texting me pictures of "cool" or "frosty" things that he sees with the caption "thinking of my grandchildren". He's being so cute! I'm just not sure if we'll be able to keep the BETA results a secret that long. I'm really bad at keeping my mouth shut!
