The Plan!

Well, the procedure did not go as planned. I...didn't know I was not supposed to eat. Whoops! It's not like I do this every day! I was kind of glad though because the anesthesiologist was a little free spirited with my LIFE. Im supposed to take one dose of antibiotic before the procedure. The one they typically give almost killed me the last time I took it. Like...stopped my heart...almost killed me. The surgery coordinator offered another option that was one I'd taken successfully many times before. So, no problem, right? But then at the last minute the anesthesiologist told the nurse to just give me anything because "I'll be monitoring her." WHAAAAAT?!?!? He *might* be able to shock me back to life, but I'd rather NOT take the chance! Why in the world would someone take another person's life so nonchalantly into their own hands?!?! Glad to have some more time to discuss this matter with the clinic.

On a much better note....we received a tentative plan!!! If all goes well, I'll start medications to prepare my body on May 19, lots of monitoring, with the actual embryo transfer on June 16 (seems like forever away!), bedrest for several days then light activity, a pregnancy test on June 29, and then pick up Julia (and the chaperone) 2 days later. If the test is positive, there will be 12 more weeks of daily injections. YIKES!!! If it's negative, we'll turn around and start all over again. Either way, should be a CRAZY summer. ;)
