Denver...it is ON

My next several days are going to be crazy, so I want to give a quick update.

CCRM received the report from the sonohystogram this morning and they called me immediately. First they called and wanted the reports from my D&C. I offered these back in October and was told it wasn't necessary. Within an hour, they requested that I come to Denver for an office hysteroscopy. This was all VERY speedy for CCRM. Usually I hear from them at the very end of the day. I wish I hadn't had to force their hand with all of this, but at this point, that's neither here nor there.

While part of me would prefer to go right to the operative hysteroscopy, I do understand that Dr. G wants to see what's what in there to confirm the sonohystogram. I get it. With traveling to LA on Thursday - Sunday and to Kansas City for the week of Christmas, I was hoping they would squeeze me in next week.

They did. I'm booked for my hysteroscopy next Friday (December 20th). Talk about a crazy few weeks of travel!! But I'm more than happy to do it. I want to know exactly what we're dealing with. While I'm in Denver I'll be able to have a face to face sit down with Dr. G to have all my questions answered. What a major relief and WAY overdue.

The bad news. T is traveling for work next week and cannot go with me.

The fantastic news. A dear, dear friend that has been by my side for more than a year, though we've never met, is traveling to Denver to be with me for all of this. THIS is why the online infertility community and blog world means the absolute world to me. It has brought simply amazing women into my life that I will treasure always. I am beyond grateful and humbled by how quickly and on the spot she agreed to join me. Expect a night of laughs, tears and red wine!!

When finally turning my focus to donor eggs and accepting all that comes with that and the loss of a genetic connection, I never expected that I would end up in this situation. It scares me to think of the worse case scenario, but at the same time, I've had to...maybe just to prepare myself. But until I'm told that there is nothing left to do, I will continue to have hope that I can carry one of my six embryos and I will try and look at all the positives that have come with this journey.

A major positive...all of you.

  7. It is on like Donkey Kong with a side of awesome sauce!!!! (Quoting Mason when he's pumped about something.) I think about you every day and am so glad we found each other. I'm so glad you will have someone with you on Denver. Such an amazing community of support. If I have only one Christmas wish, it's that this is all going to work out for you. You and T deserve it so very much. XOXO

  17. I sure should hope that CCRM would expedite the explorative hysteroscopy, after dismissing you for weeks when there actually WAS a problem! I am pretty miffed on your behalf, dear friend. Aren't you paying them the great majority of your life savings? Shouldn't they be actually listening to you?
    I'm also very impressed (proud even, if I'm allowed to be) that you took matters into your own hands and talked to your OB. I hope this is something you can carry forward with you in your life: when your gut tells you there is something the matter, you listen to it. I think that's the mark of someone who is very wise, very attuned to herself (and often others).
    I feel a ton of renewed hope for you. If the uterine issues can be dealt with, I think you'll be looking at motherhood in the very near future. I feel very hopeful of that.

  20. So glad you are able to get in and I will definitely be checking in to see how your appointment goes. I was there this morning and found out my mock cycle was a bust so now I wait for the end of day phone call with next steps. I'm not going to give up but hearing your results could help me with more questions to ask. Good luck and I will be thinking about you!
