The week full of "last"

A lot has happened this week . . . I had abdominal paid on Wednesday so the doctor told me to come in a day early for the blood work and ultrasound. Thursday's results were good and my blood work more then doubled. After the doctor examined me, he was concerned about the location and level of pain so to be on the safe side, he scheduled a CT scan for Friday. When I went on Friday, I was already nauseous (which I have learned is a great sign! When your estradiol level spikes, you feel sick.)and was even more nauseous when they said I had to drink the white glue paste. After attempting and dry heaving, the nurse said I could drink 2 glasses of water and then they would do an IV and shoot the contrast in through that. The test was only about 15 minutes, and made me feel dizzy and more nauseous. Yippy!!! But, the results were normal.

Saturday morning we went for another ultrasound and blood work. My estradiol more then doubled again. Woo hoo! We still don't have exact dates for the retrieval and transfer which is REALLY hard for me. But, I should know after tomorrow. I have another ultrasound and more blood work at 8:30 in the morning.

Cody and I have had a relaxing weekend and continue to think of things that will be a "last" before kiddos come. This week will be the last week before we are pregnant and preparing for a bundle of joy. I JUST know IVF will work and we will be blessed! So, here is to the last week as a married couple with no babies. ;)
