Ultrasound
First of all, there was snow everywhere this morning. SNOW. It is April god damned sixteenth. Why.
Get to the hospital 10 minutes late. Sit and wait for ten more minutes. Get called back but some guy with a super heavy accent comes barging ahead of me, screaming because he needs a specimen cup for a semen sample. Okay, fine.
My turn. Get undressed, hop on the table. Tech comes in. "HI, I'M ANDREA!" as she shoves dildo cam directly into the hem of my dress, coating it with gel. Le sigh.
This hurts.
"Your lining is nice and thick!"
(YAAAAY!!!)
"Uh, do you have both your ovaries?"
"Yes. The left one is stuck to something, the old tech used to have to push on my belly and make me hold my breath in order to..."
"I'm just going to push on your belly right here."
Sigh. "Okay."
OW.
"Um, do you know if you have endometriosis?"
"Yeah, I do."
"Yeah, I can tell. Your pelvic anatomy is way messed up."
"Yeah, I know. Thanks."
So I'm expecting good news when my nurse calls. Overall it was a mildly irritating morning that turned into a shitshow when it took me over 3 hours to drive to work because of a bad crash with at least 2 fatalities this morning. Clearly I could use some good news!

I hope and pray your day gets better and you get the news you want/need to hear. I just have to say that tech sounds like a blond bimbo and she needs a course in manners and etiquette.
So cheers to a good morning ;) Uggh sorry it was such a shit show! First of all, WTF is with the snow, needed my stupid winter coat again today! So nice of that guy to barge ahead of you, he must be more important! Fucker! Anyways, I have to say I love Andrea, not sure if you have not had her before. Probably she didn\'t show much tact with the messed up comment but generally she is very good. She was with me through my MC\'s and pregnancy, hugs from her each time. With that said, I am glad to hear your lining is nice and thick, great news there! I am sure you will get a great phone call today, let us know. I am excited for you, sounds like so far this protocol is working great! Hopefully today she will get you a date for transfer, you will PUPO before you know it! xo
Ugh what a day, so sorry! I hope you get good news to brighten up the rest of it!
I hope there is some good news to make your day turn around. I live in Michigan and woke up to 3 inches of snow yesterday.... Yuck... Luckily today it has already almost melted.
The scan is great news!!!!!! I\'m so happy everything looks right on track for you! Sorry about the goopy dress. Gross. But you\'re so SO close!!! We had snow too but yesterday. It seems almost as unfair as our infertility, lol. Bring on warm weather for good!!! And bring my friend a baby!!!!!!!
I would have freaked the fuck out sitting in traffic that long. Did you have to deal with the bozo US tech before or after the traffic jam? I\'m thinking before or else you would have punched her. Here\'s hoping you get a great call about your perfect lining. Sounds like everything is on track though. xoxo
You def deserve good news after the craptastic morning you had! I\'m sorry it was such a cluster fuck but I am crossing my fingers that all is well and you will be PUPO very soon!!!
Yay for a nice lining!! Sorry about your morning....hoping you hear some good news soon!
Ugh Andrea- that bitch. Sorry your morning sucked but glad your lining is looking good!
awesome for a great lining! Boo that Andrea is such a dumbass missing bedside manner. \"yes Andrea I knew my shit was messed up. I didn\'t realize healthy normal people had to see an RE to get preggo. But thanks for reminding me...biotch\"
Good news: everything looks perfect. Transfer is ON. I will be PUPO with twins by the end of next Tuesday!
YAY!!! Glad your lining and everything looks good to move forward Tuesday! Hopefully that makes your shit morning a little better! I am so stinkin excited we will be 2ww buddies... do I keep saying that LOL. Because I think I say it every time I write you something!
Yay!!!! Can\'t wait! :)
Congrats! Super exciting! Pupo!
Lol in a week that is :)
