I Can’t Win April 22, 2005

Seriously. I mean nothing can go smoothly. I went in for my ultrasound this morning and things went from bad to worse. First, they wanted to charge me $200 more than I was told I would have to pay. I fought that one hard and won, but it was a major struggle. Then after I had been waiting a while to be called back I had to go to the bathroom. You know where this one’s going don’t ya? Oh, yes. They called my name while I was in there, so I had to wait some more. I finally got to go hang out in one of the ultrasound rooms with my pants off for a good 20 minutes before I got my turn at the dildocam. I thought about doing it myself for a while there.

Someone finally came to do my ultrasound, and I did not like what I saw. My lining only measured 5-6mm. It was a lovely triple stripe, but it was way too thin. Ugh! Not what I was hoping for today. I also had a few small follicles on my left ovary. My RE doesn’t think they’ll be a problem since they’re so small. If they had been follicles that were at risk of ovulating they would have been much bigger. The largest one only measure 6mm. It’s still a little disconcerting, though.

So, I have to keep on with the Estrace and go back in a week. If my lining has decided to get itself in gear and those follicles don’t end up misbehaving then my FET will be the following week. Otherwise I’ll be canceled.

I couldn’t handle this today. I just wasn’t in a good mood to begin with and then all of this crap happened. After my appointment I just sat in my car and bawled. This stuff is so damn frustrating, and it’s kicking my ass. Hard.

I’ve thought more than once about just doing the U/S myself and probably would have by now if I was just a leeetle bit more flexible.

I’m so sorry, Amanda, and I am hoping desperately that the stripe improves. If nothing else, you need to be shut of this clinic.

I wish had something practical to say, but instead I will just offer you some virtual support and say that I am thinking of you. I hope things improve for you, I really do.

Sorry, Amanda. I am with you on the bawling and the crap happening.

Unbelievable. I am so sorry and hope the lining and follicles start behaving already. Come ON!
