Had a Sunday appointment today. The normal blood draw a follicle check.
The fertility office is a strange place. Everyone is there for the same reason yet there is no small talk/eye contact. Taking this picture was totally awkward. Everyone is looking down at their phones or a magazine hoping to not accidentally look at someone in the eye.
As I waited I couldn't help but think about those who had to do this journey with no kids at home. It's gotta be rough. I've got the distraction of two busy boys with baseball schedules, school and homework to keep me occupied and distracted. I actually forgot about this appointment until late last night.
Sitting waiting is tough! I use to have small panic attacks when I would go into a room with an ultrasound machine. When you are 19 and they find a 5 pound ovarian cyst it kinda gives you a little PTSD everyone you go in for any ultrasound. Luckily this is my 4th in 2 weeks so I'm not as scared.
Today I was waiting longer than usual.... And then instead of the tech coming in its my doc doing my scan. I panic. Why is she here! It's Sunday! Is something wrong?!
Nope - fertility office is open 365 days a year. She had some other procedures today and was just helping out getting some scans done.
Everything was normal. My follicles are growing just as they should. Have 12 - 14 in just one ovary. That is good!
Will have an appointment on day 9 to recheck again!
