Smooth sailing

I'm already back, what a fast trip. And thankfully, a very smooth one.

I don't think I can fully describe what a different place the far away clinic feels like this time around. It was such a...not scary...how about emotion-laden place before. So many highs and lows there. So many hormonally charged things happened there.

But this time, it was like going to a happy reunion. It was nice to see Dr. Famous, who was in classic Dr. Famous form. I did get him to laugh at my joke about making sure he put the next one in right side up after we discussed the Critter being breech. A little RE humor for him. It was nice to see my nurse again, she is just the same, like time stood still. Same receptionists, same chatty u/s tech and blood draw lady. And they were all happy to see me, a success story. Everyone asked about the Critter.

It was as smooth a visit as I could of hoped for. I had been nervous about fibroids again, wondering if they came back and if I'd need another removal before the FET. And there was something small showing up on u/s, but Dr. Famous didn't see anything in my ute cavity on hysteroscopy - so no surgery for me! Hooray! My c-section has healed well and should not be an issue either.

And that's another smooth thing - the hysteroscopy hurt pretty bad last time, I remember being in pain/crampy afterwards for a few days. This time - nothing! Seriously, I heard the machine turn on, but thought he hadn't inserted the tube yet - and then it was over. I couldn't believe it. Getting the damn spectulum in was the worst part. Again, that Dr. Famous, he sure does know his way around a cervix.

And irony of all irony - my AFC was maybe the best its ever been. 14 counted (with maybe a few more hanging around that were smaller), 7 on each side with a nice lead follie on the right. Sigh, why couldn't they be like that before?? Oh well, I'm done with you stupid ovaries. Too late for you.

So I am good to go. Mr. P and I need to decide if we are going to do a June or July transfer, and I get started on the evil Depot loopyron 3 months before the transfer date. That's it.

Smooth sailing for here on out. That is what I am counting on. What a difference 2 years and a sweet Critter Girls makes.
