After 10 Lupron shots, I finally got to my baseline scan this morning.
I was super nervous beforehand, butterflies in my tummy and all, which I think is kinda silly but it is what it is.
It didn't help that I had been telling myself I needed to leave the house at 7:45 for an 8:15 apt (takes 20 min to get there), but then decided at 7:44 that I should make myself some tea and toast. So I ended up leaving at 7:53 instead, which is really cutting it a little close.
I arrived at the hospital at 8:10 (had some good traffic light karma and went a leetle fast which is always fun in my convertible.)
And then Murphy being as he is, the garage I always park in and have NEVER had trouble finding a spot in before was FULL. And when I say full I really mean it - I drove all the way from level 1 down to level 6 and back up again and there was not ONE spot (aside from the approximately 100 handicap spots, I really think someone needs to do a better job of figuring out how many of those are actually necessary). Fortunately as I came up to the very last level of allowed parking there was a guy walking down, so I snagged his spot after he pulled out. But by that time it was already 8:20 and i was now LATE. Ugh.
So I hightailed it up to the doc's office, and fortunately they were fairly blase about my tardiness. Whew.
Scan was all good, lining was 4mm (which is actually a little thicker than I was expecting, but I am still bleeding so that may be why), and my ovaries were "small", with 8 antral follicles on the left, and 7-8 on the right or vice versa. Whatever, pretty good for an old bag ;) So I got the all clear to start my stims tomorrow night.
I actually considered starting tonight because I'm so anxious to move forward. But I restrained myself. I have made a bargain with myself that for this first cycle I am going to trust what they tell me. If this one doesn't work out, then I will become a bitch. :D
Although working out? I honestly can't even fathom it. I'm trying this because I believe it's our best shot, but I can't imagine actually getting a BFP out of it.

So glad for a perfect baseline scan!!! And excited for you to start tonight! I can definitely imagine a BFP for you...but understand about not being able to get your hopes up. You know there are a ton of people rooting for you!
It's hard to believe in the positives when we see so many negatives on this journey, but good for you for trusting your docs this cycle. Sending positive vibes your way!!
LOL, we sound the same when it comes to our doctors/treatment. I have to hold myself back sometimes.
I agree, let it all go for this cycle...because seriously, it's going to work :)
