The visit to Repro Med went amazingly well today. I was only in the waiting room for a few minutes, and didn't see a single pregnant lady or new mom with a baby. I wasn't thrilled about my weigh-in *sigh*, but the tech didn't make any disparaging comments, and she even manually retook my blood pressure when the machine reported it as way higher than usual.

The nurse practitioner came in right away, and she was so sympathetic about my not wanting to deal with the doctor. She even apologized for how badly that appointment had gone, and asked how I was doing in the interim. We discussed my decision to go with my eggs and what tests I'd need, without a single mention of my weight or my age. I even got to duck into the lab afterward and get the blood and urine donations taken care of, so that won't slow down anything.

I'll have to wait until my next cycle to get going, so the shots and such won't start until July. This gives me a little time to kick my ass into gear and finally get back into an exercise routine. It should be a lot easier to incorporate when the school year is over and we don't have to get going so early in the morning.

I am so relieved, plus nervous and excited about starting up again with the baby dance. Third time's the charm, right?

Oh, so pleased it went well! Yay! And I am crossing all appendages for you and sending all the good vibes and happy thoughts. <3

Thank you, sweetheart! I will definitely take all the support I can get. :)

Hooray for a good experience! And fingers crossed.

[grammarwoman]

Thank you!

Anything would have been an improvement over that last disastrous visit, but it was extra thoughtful for her to apologize and be supportive. If only that were the baseline expectation!

[synecdochic]

Seriously!

[kass]

Holding you in my heart and in my prayers, hon. *hug*

Fingers and toes and all that crossed for you. <3333

[grammarwoman]

:D Thank you for the support! (Now I'm wondering if there's a yoga position called 'Hope' that involves crossing everything that can be crossed.)

Thank you! I am fiercely hugging all these good wishes. :D

So glad things went well! And that what happened with the doctor was appropriately acknowledged, too.

[grammarwoman]

Thank you! That was a big part of my relief, fearing that the staff would take what happened with an eyeroll and barely humor me, and instead getting an apology and genuine sympathy.
