Success after IF

Back from the or

Well it was a long day of hunger but I am home and feeling pretty good. RE is going to fax the prescription for my FET meds in before I move and lose coverage. Highlight of the day.... Peeing in a cup for a pregnancy test when I a) have my period b) just had a ton of ultrasounds and ER last week and c) have a DH with no sperm. I know it's just procedure but my IF voice was screaming how ridiculous it was. A close runner up was the 7 IV attempts....they waited until I was sufficiently dehydrated and cold that no one could get one. I am taking my cranky self off to bed now. :)

Re: Back from the or

  • Oh kaf, I'm so sorry. I'm glad it went well, but I hate when they miss the IV. For my retrieval they missed three times and I ended up with huge junkie bruises. Hope you get some rest. (IF is a big whore and I hate her too).

  • Glad it went well!!!

    One time when I was at the OB shortly after our DX, I actually refused to pee in the cup. I was in for a culpo - and had been in for a pap a couple weeks before (although different cycle). I looked at the medical assistant and said "My husbands sperm don't swim, and I need to get this culpo done so we can do IVF. Rest assured I am not pregnant."  She sypmathetically took the cup back :)

  • Thanks everyone. I was feeling pretty good today and less cranky! Just some cramping that is ok with some ibuprofen. Was able to pack so that was good.
  • Oh goodness - what a day!! Huge hugs for you! 7 IV attempts - after the third I would have been threatening something with said sharp IV needle!! But least it's done and you can now move forward with your FET.
