I went to the fertility specialist for another ultrasound and I am FINALLY ready to get these eggs taken out of me! Egg retrieval is scheduled for Saturday at 9AM. That means 1 last shot (a lupron trigger shot that is supposed to make my follicles ovulate) given at a very specific time and I'm done (with fertility shots, for now, that is). We also got the results of a CBC (Complete Blood Count) test back. It shows my hemoglobin numbers increased a smidge, which indicates I might have responded a bit to the IV iron infusion from Friday. The only meh news was that my Anti-Mullerian Hormone levels (AMH), which is used to indicate 'ovarian reserve', are low. I basically have the ovaries of a 40 year-old and a low number of eggs. The doctor said it's hard to say if it's caused by the cancer or if my ovaries would have just naturally sucked, but that news is kinda sad.
I also dropped off my wedding ring to get some 'speed bumps' put in on the inside so it'll fit my finger better. It's too loose now because I lost weight in the last 3 weeks. Since it's an eternity ring, it's more difficult to resize as there's no clear section of metal to cut off/add to. I miss it being on my finger already!
Apparently, I look like Monica Chan Fat Yung, a Hong Kong actress. I've never watched anything she's been in so..sure?
Here's my movie star pic for comparison:
This is such a good picture of you!! But I don't think you look like that HK actress. What? All Asians with pixie cuts look alike?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Julie! I don't see the resemblance either.

DeleteHmm, I submitted a comment, but I'm not sure if you got it.... in any case, my comment was this:
ReplyDeleteI don't know who the actress is but you can definitely pass for an actress any day! :) I was reading an earlier post on chopping off your ombre. Your hair was beautiful, BUT the pixie cut looks beautiful on you, too! Can you stop being so gorgeous already? ;) --Khanhfused
