Here we go again

I have some annual appointments coming up in June with my gyn and endo. I figured once I get those sorted out, it would be a good time to start the conversation again with my RE about an FET timeline. When I called the RE office last week to schedule my telehealth for after those June appointments, it seemed like the schedule was very full and I couldn't get in until late June. There happened to be one opening available for this week so I just took it, and suddenly... we're back in just like that. 

We met earlier this week and discussed a potential timeline. There are three things that need to happen before the FET: mock transfer, saline ultrasound, and biopsy. I originally thought that all three could be in one appointment, but apparently they need to happen at different points in my cycle. It's preferable that the biopsy happens the month before the FET but the other ones could happen any time and results are valid for a year. As soon as I was done the telehealth appointment I contacted the front desk to get scheduled for the saline ultrasound and mock transfer which I did this morning. 

I got to the office about 10 min before my procedure. Before even arriving there was a covid screening online, as well as one at the front desk. The waiting room had changed a lot since I was last there. The magazines and informational pamphlets were gone, replaced with hand sanitizer pumps and social distancing signs. There were only about 5 available seats in the waiting room, instead of the usual 40. I got called back, they took vitals, and I was asked to sign paperwork. They started with the mock transfer, then I emptied my bladder, then they took measurements (including inspecting my c-section scar), and did the saline ultrasound. We chatted for a bit after and I was done. Thankfully, I think we're cleared to move forward. I had severe cramps after the procedure. It got better with time and advil, but man on man I had forgotten that discomfort. 

I feel like things are moving fast and not fast enough. I'm excited to try again and I'm scared of what's to come. I'm worried about juggling everything, and pandemic stuff, but as it is we waited longer than planned and I don't want to keep waiting.
