Slow and Steady

I had an appointment in Oklahoma City on Friday. The nurse measured 15 follicles. All of them were still small. I was instructed to stay on the same dose of medications.

After the appointment we hit the road to come to New York. The drive was totally uneventful except for Drew getting a speeding ticket. We took a little different route and came north to Buffalo and then across New York. Lake Erie is amazing!

We made it to Latham and checked into the same hotel where we have stayed each time. This time the doctor obviously negotiated a corporate rate for his patients so it is more affordable. We have a junior suite which has a king bed, separate sitting area with a sofa and table and chairs, a large work desk, mini fridge, microwave and wet bar. It works great for a long stay.

Monday we went to the clinic. It was nice seeing Greta (nurse) who I deal with over the phone. She gave me a big hug. She did the ultrasound and counted 5 or 6 follicles on each ovary. Again my estrogen is taking some time to catch up. I did make it over her goal of 300+.

It was a hard day. Part of me is so pissed because I should be home with newborns, not here, not doing this again. Doing the IVF all over again just brings back the joy and the loss of the twins.

  1. So sorry it is bitter sweet for you all. It will get better just remember you have two special little angels that will be watching over your and there brother or sister to come. It will get better in time you will find the joy in being there also for the new life to come.
