I was at CCRM again at 7:30 this morning for another follicle check and more blood work (checking my estrogen levels). I still have 4 developing follicles, which they're keeping their eye on. Today's ultrasound showed 2 on my right ovary and 2 on my left. The ones on my right ovary were bigger, measuring at 9 & 11 mm, so that's still pretty small and it's not looking likely that I'll trigger on Thursday like I originally thought.
I got my Fed Ex delivery of 4 more vials of Bravelle today (to the tune of $240) and will keep up the injections until at least Thursday morning when I go in at 7:30 again for another follicle check ultrasound and blood test checking my estrogen levels.
With all these appointments, it's really made my head do weird things. It feels like things are happening so fast, but so slow at the same time. I guess I'm just anxious. The only thing that really feels like it's happening super fast is our bank account being drained. With the drugs, ultrasound and blood work, today's total comes to $450 (just for 1 day!) While it does stress me out to think of the financial side of this whole ordeal, I'm surprised that I'm not really thinking about it much and therefore, I'm not really that stressed about it. What will be, will be and there's really nothing we can do about it (unless we give up on having a 2nd child all together which isn't really on my radar). I do feel bad for Andrew though. He is thinking about it and is really stressing about how much this is costing. He is so amazing and works so hard for our family, I hate to see him stress over money. I know he puts pressure on himself as the provider but this is such a short season in life and in the grand scheme of things, this amount of money and the sacrifices we've made to have children will be so small and insignificant that I'm sure we'll look back and wonder why we made such a big deal of it all. And there is no amount of money that can compare to having Gregory in our lives. He brings us such joy and happiness and is such a gift from God! And if God decides to bless us with another child, then what's a few thousand dollars in the long run when we could have another beautiful baby?
