IVF#1 - Follistim Day 3: An Infertile in Denver

Guess where I am right now? Yes, I am now in Denver and probably will be for the next 10 days.

I had an appointment for Ultrasound and bloodwork at 8:15 am earlier today. I thought I had plenty of time but guess what greeted me when I opened the curtains:

SNOW!!! Yaix!!!

I wasn’t prepared for it. I knew it was going to get cold that’s why I packed my thick winter jackets and turtle neck shirts.  But not snow!

That explains the brush inside the rental car! I was wondering why they left their “cleaning” stuff inside the car! Now, I’m glad they did. I further gave away my being snow-ignoramus though when I opened the driver seat door and snow went in and deposited on the seat!  (I started to get worried that when I turn on the car heater that my seat would be all wet!) Anyhow, I actually enjoyed brushing off the powdery snow off the car - it was easy-peasy!

When I was done brushing off the snow, I only had 10 minutes till my appointment. So I drove off … and when I made the left turn into the major street… I lost control of my car and made a 180 degree!!! It was a good thing that there was no car right behind me… I guess they stayed away because the rental car had an Oklahoma plate.

There I was in the middle of the road, facing the wrong direction!!! I was shaken but I couldn’t help but grin. I waved at the oncoming traffic and they let me maneuver.  Then I was on my way… I was a bit frazzled but I thought it was more funny than embarassing. I just praise God for protecting me!

I got there on time - ultrasound showed my ovaries were on track. They should call in later today what my Follistim dosages are for the next 2 days.

Here’s my schedule in the next few days:
3/12 Thu - Ultrasound/Bloodwork. IVF Physical
3/13 Fri - Genetic Counseling with Danielle
3/14 Sat - Ultrasound/Bloodwork. Back-up Freeze #1
3/15 Sun - Ultrasound/Bloodwork
3/16 Mon - Ultrasound/Bloodwork. Back-up Freeze #2

Will keep you posted, I promise!
