back from RE and my head is spinning!

I had to get my cd2 b/w and and u/s.  b/w did not go so well b/c my vein rolled.  ugh, it was so sickening for her to keep trying, finally took it out and got a smaller needle to use in my other arm.  that worked fine.  hopefully i'll have the results today although i know they're going to be bad.  (

u/s showed i only had 1 folicle on my right side (right side last time only had 4-5).  but my left ovary (side i should O from this cycle) had 6-7 and she said that was normal for my age.  so at least one ovary is cooperating. 

i have all my appts. lined up and i feel like a crazy person! 

Sun. -  i start the clomid challenge test (100mg of clomid for 5days)

Mon. - Start antibiotics for HSG

Tue. -  HSG

Wed - Hysteroscopy (cytotec in the morning)

Fri. - b/w and u/s for the clomid challenge test.

Ooh, sorry about the vein!  I'm glad to hear one ovary is cooperating at least.  Good luck!

Good luck with the challenge!  I hope everything goes well.

*Juma*

Wow, that's a busy week you have lined up!  I hope all of the procedures go well.  And I hope your veins cooperate (or you get a better nurse who can work with tricky veins).  

Good luck -  I hope this cycle brings you some valuable information.

Wow, that is a lot to take in! I hope the Clomid challenge goes well. It sounds so fun and exciting - "challenge." Something tells me it's not.

LOL!  i wish it was something fun and exciting too.  or something i could have alittle control over.

i never had that happen w/ my vein before.  It actually felt weird when she stuck me w/ the needle.  blah, i can't even think about it w/o getting queezy. 

ShellShockedMama

I was told that a well trained nurse isn't daunted by roll-y veins, so I always warn them about it and I get the good nurse. Well, except for when I had my gallbladder surgery, that woman made me bleed like a ----thing---that, uh, bleeds a lot.

the nurse who did mine is the one of the head nurses.  i think she was too busy trying to chit chat.  lol  once she used the smaller needle in my other arm it was so much better. 

so far i've had 2 bad blood taking experiences, once during my D&C and now this time.  eeck.

Good luck! Sorry they had trouble with your vein. Before you go in for b/w next time try to drink a lot of water before hand. When I first started seeing my RE, one of the nurses told me that and it has always helped.

mdm2137

Good luck!

cutebride73

I know that head spinning feeling I had it after my RE appt too!!  Good luck with all the tests you have to have.  Hopefully you'll have a plan soon!!

I'll have to remember this!

I'm sorry the blood draw sucked.  GL with everything, I hope it all goes well.

That's quite a week. Good luck!

thanks.  i'll try that next time.  she said my veins were very "juicy" so i thought it wouldn't be a problem but boy was i wrong.  eewww, still can't think about it.  lol

AppleRidge

Wow, that is a ton to do in one week.  I am keeping my fingers crossed that this will all be to very good benefit.  GL!

Hooray for full steam ahead into the plan!!!  

Sorry about the blood draw.  If you start to notice a pattern of one arm working better than another, definitely let the nurse know (my left is way better than my right).  Unfortunately, I know I've got tons of karma coming for all of the patients who I've had to poke multiple times over the years... 

Please keep us posted on how everything goes.  ::Fingers crossed:: that the tests come back great & that Clomid will do the trick for you!   

CashewsMommy

Ugh. My veins always roll too! I hate it.

Best of luck to you!

sunshinenva

The rolling vein thing sucks! But the rest sounds great.  I always love when there is a game plan:)  GL
