Our First doctor appointment for IVF was on 9th DEC. It was
nervous to get into the clinic. We waited for some time and the doctor came by
to greet us, then we sat in a room and started talking, he got the background
information first and he then explained what's the IVF process, I was still nervous
even though the doctor sounded everything to be very very simple but the
process scared me. He mentioned that before starting the IVF we have to
complete some preliminary steps
- Sonogram
- Blood test
- Uterine Cavity
And the medication for IVF had
to be started after my next cycle and we can do the preliminary tests immediately
then we discussed and decided to go for 2 of three preliminary test immediately.
First they did a sonogram, as
usual I was very nervous and I being virgin and found my dilators to be hard to
dilate, I was scared, the nurse came in and I explained here my situation and
she also sounded that its very simple and she said she will be very
gentle...she started the process, by seeing the tool I was scared again, it was
a long plastic rod kind with a round thing on top and it was bigger, she tried
and it was painful may be 3 of 10 so she gave some time and tried again with
different angle and it was more pain, so she tried the previous angle and she
moved little by little as pain increases she was asking me if she can push
further...she was very very cooperative and I know I have to tolerate it because
if I don't do it now I have to come back again and also I have tolerate this at
some point, once she inserted completely, it was not painful, she was taking
some screenshots and explaining what it is, as I was seeing it for the first
time the screen, I dint get anything from that monitor. Then she counted eggs,
said 10 eggs on left side and then she said she is going to rotate the rod
inside to go to other side of uterus to count the right side egg. She said 8
eggs on other side and she took some more screenshots. Then she said she is
going to pull the rod out, as it was coming out slowly, towards the end it was
little painful, but everything was tolerable.
It went well than I expected and
I was happy with the nurse. Then we came out and gave blood test which is 2nd
one. And scheduled an appointment for Uterine Cavity test on 15th
DEC.
