Well that was quite the Monday/Tuesday... what a shit show! My last post was when I got to Calgary and was in my hotel room bed. That night I hardly slept a wink and was up at 6:30 to get ready for the day (one good thing was that I got to check out the hotel where I will be staying for the 2 weeks!). Went to the clinic and got a blood test done at 8am and 10 minutes later went in for the quickest ultrasound in my life. The doctor did an internal said lining looks great, left ovary is excellent and right ovary has a large cyst measured it and done in a matter of 30 seconds! The doctor explained to me we had to wait for the blood tests to check the estrogen to see if it was a drainable cyst or not and I would probably get a phone call around 11am. So went shopping to a nearby mall and waited for the call... sure enough 10:50am get the call "Please be here in 10-15 minutes!". Jumped in the truck and zipped over there and had to wait for 10 minutes and I am nervous at the moment not knowing what was happening. The nurse took me in and I walked all of the way to the back where I had never been before. She told me we will be draining the cyst and I need to strip down to my nothings and put in the robe. She took my blood pressure and went over the procedure with me saying it was just like egg retrieval so it was just a trial run.
Went into the exact room where they do ER and ET (same as the picture they showed us at the IVF info session). Put my legs up in the holders, sanitized, the doc went in with an ultra-sound probe that had a guide beside it she said lining was good, wasn't the left ovary, yup it's the right. She said I will feel a good poke so I took a deep breathe and she said it was done and I didn't feel a thing, I wasn't the u/s screen and watched the cyst get smaller and smaller and then it was gone. She said she was taking the needle out and that hurt more than anything but still not bad at all, she showed me how much fluid she got out and wholly shit it was a fully vial!! So neat. I went back out of the room and had to sit in a chair for a bit and they went over my calendar with me and instructions on when to take meds and what not. Away I went... the after cramping was probably the worst feeling but really wasn't all that bad. You hear people say how ER is so bad and ouchie but it was a piece of cake and I have no fears come the ER now (besides they will be giving me drugs so I definately won't be feeling anything)... guessing the IV will be the worse part!
So all is good now, went home right after the drainage 5.5hrs later made it! Took out my meds right away, took my antibiotics, got my gonal-f pen ready and sat there for a good two minutes pinching my belly fat trying to work up the courage to just poke.... DID IT... click click click as the fluid is going in and done!! Got out the syringe and vials and mix up that needle and I actually thought it was fun.... Poke... and done! One day down and many more to go....
