Yesterday Jake and I got up early, really early actually. We drove the short drive to Bellingham. And got to meet our new Fertility Doctor! Dr. Branigan. Everyone in his office was extremely nice, very outgoing and some even very very talkative.
The visit was not really what I had expected. Not at all actually. I am not sure why but I always thought it would be very clinical and sterilized. If that makes sense at all. I never thought that it would be warm and welcoming.
Over the next hour or so Dr. Branigan gave us all kinds of information about girly and boy parts, what can go wrong, what can help, and what he thinks is wrong. All along the way he was making sure we completely understood, well as much as one can about all the different hormones and when the start, spike and go away. There really was a lot of information crammed into that hour.
After an ultra sound and looking at my ovaries, he thinks there might be small problem(s) with each of us. It might be good news. We are not sure, of course, at this point what is wrong. But we have some answers and an idea of where to go next.
We do have another ultra sound next week to see how my eggs mature and the swimmers are going to be tested. I am very confidant our doctor will not lead us down a road we don't want to go or a road that is not something we need. I am very excited to see what happens. I will post more later.
I'm ready to know what is wrong and get it solved.
I'm ready to have our family.
I'm ready to be a mommy.
