Good day everyone...
Ahhhhhh, where shall I begin?
Today was my 2nd appoitment w/ Dr. Anna. We entered the "Klinka" clinic with high hopes. Of course, the elevator struck me again as very unusual, but I followed along like a good little ducky. I learned that the city is not allowed to demolish or restructure any part of the building on the outside as it is considered historic. It was long ago part of the "Bata" shoe factory, (which is on my To Do list to visit) I'll get use to the elevator. Let me remind you, the inside looks like an Ikea floor demonstation show. Everything is brand new and very clean.
He greeted me around his desk with a firm handshake and a wonderful smile. I greeted him, of course, with my effervescance, and pearly white smile. I imagined, of course, greeting him with a can of Right Guard...but I'm really not sure how to bring that up to him yet. LOL That's funny.
Good news 7 follicles on the left, 4 follicles on the right. He uped my meds for the next 3 days, so let the cramps begin! This is pretty ususal for me. I am just concerned about the 5 day Blastocyst Embryo (google it) transfer. They only did a 3 day cleveage stage (google it) transfer at home. So the question is....Willl my eggs make it to Blast??? We shall see....Ohhhhh, so much to look forward to.
Yesterday I flagged down a Rollerblader, (the cute guy that works at the hotel) he was blading through the lobby, it must've been sign for me to stop and ask him. Anyhow, I did stop and ask him and he said his friend works at a shop and get can get some for me..YAY!!! I hope to use them before my ovaries become softballs. Ewwww.
O, Btw, yesterday the holiday here was a Republic Holiday. The Czech won some war a very long time ago and so no one has to work on this particular day. Sort of like Memorial Day for us. The only difference is they celebrate by taking their children to the forest dressed up pretending to be in a fairytale! Yep, that's right. I really didn't ask anymore questions.. I just let that one go. Myself and another girl, Vesna, from Alaska, (who is here for Donor eggs) walked around and and checked the town of Zlin out. It's small but becoming very cozy.
After Dr. Annas I went to the internet store and some very nice Engligh speaking Czech troubleshooted my laptop. He sold me a new cord complete with a European plug! That means I'll never get to use it in the states... LOL Oh, well, I need it for DVDs, so I can RELAX after the transfer, of course, if I make it that far. Every step of this IVF one can be knocked out of the game at any time. So. minute, by minute... He wanted to sell me a new battery and uninstall my Norton and reinstall for 100 Crowns. I gratefully declined and went on my merry way. Everyone always out to make a buck.
Well, I must close as I again am on someone elses computer. Thank you to all 4 of you for visiting the blog......will update as soon as I have more.
I miss and love you all and really can't wait until this is over. Not the kind of vacation I dreamed of.....
