So today I went for my day 14 ultrasound and bloods. Basically, if you're doing any kind of treatment (IUI or IVF), you have to go in early in the morning and do ultrasound and blood. Then you have a consult with a nurse who tells you the progress of your cycle. I felt super clean and good this cycle, just a bit cloudy and tired. Mentally I was good.
Until this morning, which is weird because everything is going well. I went in on Saturday morning and (good news!) I'm ovulating on the left side. So they told me to come back Monday morning for B/U. That was this morning. Everything's good, my lining is good and my follicle is 2.4mm (this is the follicle that will release the egg this month, maybe even more than one egg because I'm on hormones). My hormones are surging which means that I'll ovulate tomorrow and they'll inseminate me at 11am. THIS IS ALL GOOD. So why am I a mess today? I think I'm really tired and overwhelmed and they made me buy medication that I don't need (!) ($200 worth!) and I'm sick of this and I don't want to tell my boss I have to take tomorrow off but it hurt so much last time that I couldn't possibly go to work after. Part of it might have been that this nurse prescribed progesterone to me and I really, really, really don't want to take it. I SUPER hope I don't have to take it. I don't think I can stand it. This fertility stuff is really hard. I don't know how much money I've spent, how many hours I've spent sitting in that waiting room, how many injections and blood draws and vaginal ultrasounds I've had, but it feels like way too many.
