Today we had our first baseline appointment to see what things are looking like and how the birth control is working. The doctor said everything is looking perfect & gave us a date to stop birth control. I will stop birth control July 20th. Then I get a break from all meds for 3 days, then I start stims, aka the shots, on July 24th. Then I will have another baseline on July 27th to see how the injectables are working.
They told us today that our 'expected' date of egg retrieval will be August 4th. I am praying it does fall on August 4th, because this is a day I have nothing going on with school. So if you could pray that our egg retrieval does fall on August 4th that would be great!
At our appointment today our nurse was explaining the shots again and what happens if the pre-dosed shot runs out mid injection. I just nodded my head and pretended I knew what she was saying, but secretly I had no idea what she meant. Thankfully Dion understood her, but he wasn't happy with me when I told him I pretended to know what she said. He was like you gotta ask more questions!
As time gets closer and closer to the retrieval and transfer, we just keep dreaming & being hopeful. I think we're the perfect balance of realistic and hopeful right now, I'm mainly pessimistic and Dion is super optimistic!
Each day that passes, is another day closer to our dream. :)
