Whoa, it's been a rough week and it's only Wednesday! Went to the Dr. on Monday to have my ovaries checked, 14 follicles! Got my blood work done at the lab. Everything was looking good. I was feeling great about the way things were going.
Tuesday morning I woke up gushing blood!! GUSHING! So, I called my IVF nurse and left message telling her that I thought I was bleeding to death. On my way to work I started feeling a bit weak and nauseous. Tuesday is deadline around here so I had to suck it up and keep working. Talked to the nurse around noon, at this point I was in panic mode. She said I needed to go the lab ASAP and have some blood tests run. Finally got done with work around 1:45 and headed straight for the lab, crying hysterically the whole way. Got my blood drawn and headed home. Waited, waited and waited some more. Nurse J called me back around 4 to tell me that she still hadn't gotten my results, but that she would wait around for a while so she could report back to me. She also told me that if my bleeding didn't slow down or something was off in my blood work that we would possibly have to cancel the IVF. Not what I wanted to hear! Cried some more, tried to sleep a bit. Finally, around 7 she called and said that the results still were not in and that she would call me first thing in the morning with the information. Needless to say, Tuesday was a long night and I had to take a Valium to calm my nerves and get some sleep.
Woke up this morning and to my surprise I had stopped gushing blood. In fact, my period seemed to be heading out the door. Yay!! Nurse J called when I was on my way into the office. Blood work is all good! We can continue with our IVF plan! Still don't know why I was bleeding to death, but it's almost over now and I'm happy that we will be able to stay on track. So, back to the lab in the morning for more blood work and then off to the Dr. for another follicle check. We are getting close to the retrieval; should be sometime this weekend or Monday.
