Work is pretty crazy so I was glad to make it to my RE appointment on-time today at 1:30.
I sooooo enjoyed my lovely female exam... hahaha...
I'm so used to it now it doesn't even bother me much.
The doctor gave me (3) different prescriptions.
*Femara, 2.5 mg, starting cd4 (tomorrow), to take for 5 days.
an HCG shot to get filled so she can give it to me when I come back for my mid-cycle ultrasound... (more about that below)
AND... more prometrium.... sigh... (this isn't a fun drug). Apparently it's supposed to be taken after I ovulate for some reason, but I will have to get more info on that LATER.... I'm just focused on the Femara starting tomorrow. It's supposed to have less side effects than Clomid... so I'm keeping my fingers crosses and hoping I do OK on it.
getting that HCG shot is kinda difficult tho.. my insurance for prescriptions, Caremark, I think has to MAIL it to me... weird.... *shrug* Will try to get more info on that in the next day or 2.
so then.....
My RE hands me this pages of charts.. i'm like... oh, lovely... they are Basal Body Temperature Charts. Yeah, fun... every morning, before I get out of bed, I get to take my temperature and leave the "special" thermometer in my mouth for 3 minutes. *rolling eyes*
I have to do it... I have to bring these charts to all my appointments now. So excited.
(Note the exciting example of how a "chart" looks here in the blog entry)
I will go back on June 12th at 7:30am for a mid-cycle ultrasound to get that SHOT and to see what my eggs are doing, are they maturing? are we close to ovulation?
