This morning after being given the direction for the umpteenth time of “on the table and undress from the waist down”-I was lounging about half naked, covering my lady bits with a large paper towel while waiting for the ultrasound tech to return to get an idea of how many follicles Ive got cooking after 7 days of stimming-when low and behold in walks my Reproductive Endocrinologist dressed like this…
Yup. Shit you not. He was fully dressed in the above costume-with the “got eggs?” sign draped around his neck.
Thankfully, Ive got some. Right now I’ve got 8 follicles between 11mm and 15mm on my right ovary and 4 follicles on my left side between 10mm and 15mm. I head back there in the morning for another scan and blood work (but mostly just to see if my doc is still dressed as a sperm soliciting me for eggs or if it truly was just a Halloween costume) while keeping my fingers crossed that I might get Wednesday and Thursday off of appointments and an egg retrieval scheduled for Friday.

I seriously can’t decide if your RE is awful or awesome.

can’t remember when i started reading your blog – but wow, that costume makes me speechless! have to say i agree with alexmmr, though … would likely depend on that day’s hormone levels ; )
good luck to you this week!

That.Is.Awesome. I love his sense of humor, even if a bit off-coloured. It sounds like your follicles are coming along just wonderfully and I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a Friday retrieval!

Bwahaha! I just hope he doesn’t plan on putting his own in the mix. Yikes. Crossing my fingers and saying prayers that ALL 9 of those eggs fertilize!
