Today was another scan day. Wooohooo! :) I waited a while, I guess they were running late because I got there at 11 when my appt was at 11:30 but I wanted to get there early hoping that they would get me in and out. But I didn't end up getting seen until about 11:50. Before then, I made sure I peed here at work around 9:45 am then when I got to the building there on the first floor THEN when the receptionist told me to empty out my bladder, I took the chance to pee again. I was going to make sure I DID NOT get tortured again! So back to the scan. She did it right away and much more less painful. It was uncomfortable but definately not like last time. I think the uncomfortableness is from my ovaries being stimulated. So I noticed she took a long time and took lots of pics. I got a little nervous actually because of the length of time she took. Then she told me I was done. She then said "have a nice day". I replied "Depends on what you saw", of course, after she closed the door. So I got dressed and I saw the screen and I could see a pic. It was 3 big black circles and then 3 little ones. I also saw "right ovary" and "left ovary" and a bunch of numbers. I figured they were my measurements. I got happy and excited!
So then Honey called me right back from the little waiting room when I was just in the good part of Harper's Jennifer Lopez interview from last summer. I went into the secret room and she said my ultrasound looked great! She said that I had 6 follies on my right ovary and 4 on my left. Woohoo! She said I had more but these were the measurable ones (over 10mm). She also said my lining was good at 8. She said to stay on the dosage I was on and that I would come in on Friday. I was very pleased with my results and feel very good right now. I know things can still go wrong but I seem to be doing very well so far. I really want to get good quality follies. I don't care if I don't get 20 but I really want to focus more on getting some GOOD ones.
Here are the measurements of my follies:

Right ovary:
13

Left ovary:

So now on to the sour news I got today. Time Warner is switching over to Comcast cable in 2007. I am not sure if its in effect on Jan 1, 2007 or what but its going to happen. Well Aaron called me and said that the insurance IS going to change. He of course looked up Infertility benefits and he wasn't too clear but I know that we will now have a lifetime max of $10,000 on treatment and $5000 on meds. I am happy that we will have SOME coverage but with TimeWarner we didn't have max's. I am feeling very pressured now and I am really really hoping that this will be the ONE IVF we have to do. I know that with $10,000 I might be able to get in 2 more IVF's if not for sure ONE. Insurance companies and physicians have different rates then they (physicians) give us the patients. Soo again, I am blessed that we have coverage but I am just scared because we now have a limit and after that, that's it! I prayed all the way to my appt and cried and cried. I told God how HE has to let this one work! I told him that I want to see His glory in this ONE IVF. I did recognize and told Him that He can do anything. I had NO coverage, whatsoever. IVF was a dream for me... If I ever would be able to do it, it would have to be in about 3 years or more. And He made it happen within MONTHS! I had given up hope, I had given up faith. I had nothing left. I just wanted to go to sleep forever to not feel anymore. And there is where He came and turned it all around. I am still in awe. He renewed my hope and faith and showed me, he indeed can DO anything! Praise God!

So I have my next appt on Friday. I will also go in on Saturday, then Monday and then my retrieval is scheduled for Wed. It could change but for now that's what it is. So close huh??
