Update on visit #1 to the Fertility Clinic

Today was pretty uneventful. We went and I had blood drawn and OF COURSE had to pee in a cup. Yippee!! I guess I better get used to it considering I will be doing it SOON for about 9 months!

We had a battery of tests done today. She measured the "curve" of my cervix. That was interesting. She did a "test run" on the transfer process. They put a catheter like thing in there and see how far she has to go to reach the destination where the baby(s) will be placed. THEN .. she filled my uterus up with saline to make sure that it was all smooth and nothing weird was there ... like a polyp.

She did a biopsy of the lining. She said that they do that to check for infection because most women have no idea that they have an infection on their uterine lining. I found that INTERESTING!! THEN .. holy HELL .. she "scuffed up" the lining and I have to say .. IT HURT!! It was a weird cramping feeling. She said that makes the lining richer and more vascular for the baby to attach nicely.

We start injections on Wednesday. This part scares me a little. I am about to LOAD up on hormones so that is scary!! Poor Mark and childrens!!

We are targeted to have the transfer at the end of the April. I REFUSE to announce whether it was successful until I see babies on a monitor and I know that they are ok. So .. Until we have that and until the parents know ... I will hold off on that announcement.

LOVES!! Prayers please ... I am really nervous about this!!
