Ok, you know what I find weird? that when Dr. Chin tells me that my ovary is, “flipped up on top of your uterus”, I laugh. I get this mental picture of my ovary and a trapeze… maybe I’m mental. Maybe I should have Josh make me a blog banner that says, “Amanda’s 3 ring circus (get it, like my two ovaries and uterus?) featuring the mystifying ovary!” But Dr. Chin says it like it’s normal, “oh, yeah, I forgot your ovary is flipped up on top of your uterus.” like a casual statement. But I guess he must see it fairly often because he isn’t concerned. Still freaks me out though.

So Grace called me to give me my blood work (b/w) results and Dr. Chin wants me to take 150iu of Gonal-F both tonight and tomorrow. I’m a little concerned because we talked today about medications that keep me from ovulating too soon. Those drugs are called GnRH antagonists.  So I asked if they were like Lupron, which is a medication that delays ovulation but you have to take it at the start of your cycle for it to work, So I was a little concerned that it was too late for this cycle. However, Dr. Chin explained it as (note the quotation marks here), “Lupron is like having a misbehaving child and telling them repeatedly to behave. GnRH antagonists are like slapping the kid in the head and making him behave.” I laughed my BUTT OFF… but seriously I hope I don’t miss ovulation… that’s like missing your own birthday party. So I guess we will keep the meds up and see how Friday goes.

Have I mentioned I adore my Dr.? I know I have. But in infertility there is ALWAYS a catch… I can only see him until 12 weeks into any perspective pregnancy. Sucks, I know! He rocks!
