Well, I wanted to update since we had our ultrasound appointment. We had a Saline Ultrasound. That means they use saline to 'highlight' the uterus while doing an internal ultrasound. The procedure took about 5 minutes. There was a small bit of cramping, but nothing major. It really felt more like cramps in the back. Barely noticeable and gone in about 5 minutes also. If you have this done, you will leak saline for a brief amount of time. Go prepared with a pantyliner or 2!!
I wanted to explain a few of the medications we are taking also. I am taking 2 different multi-vitamins and will soon start a prenatal vitamin. I take 1 baby aspirin daily to help with blood flow to the uterus. It's only 81 mil, so no big deal. I don't worry about blood being too thin!! The last pill I take is the birth control pill. We are tricking my body into thinking that I am already pregnant. I don't know exactly how that works, but it does. I will be going back to the doctor in 2 weeks to do training on giving myself shots. The egg donor will be doing the same training and she is on the same meds I am on. That will change later, but for now we are doing the same. I look forward with moving forward!!! It is nice to be working with such a great doctor. She is thorough and has answered all questions and concerns. I will update as things change. We will be looking for OB/GYN soon. We have to be ready for the next step!!!
