Mock Transfer

Today I went to Shady Grove for my mock transfer. A mock transfer is an appointment in which they basically "map" the uterus to see what they're working with. They inject saline through a small catheter and monitor on the ultrasound machine.

Today I saw my primary doctor, Dr. K. It was so nice to be back at Shady Grove! I hadn't been there since last October; it had definitely been awhile. The mock transfer was no problem at all. I was surprised when it was already over!

Dr. K wanted to know a bit more before we do the IVF, so he ordered an MRI for me... I am schedule for Friday :)

After the mock transfer, I had the injection class. This was really helpful, and it was nice because there were two other couples there (I was the only one without a husband! How scandalicious!). Okay so I learned how to mix the powder and the water, detach the needle and put on a q-cap to do that, then how to inject myself. I will be doing two injections a day for 12 days. Actually, only one injection of two different medicines: Bravelle and Menopur. At some point I will start doing Ganirellix in the mornings as well. Then, before the retrieval, Matt will have to do the trigger injection in my toosh.

Overall it was a good day and I feel one step closer to our baby.
